What causes dark circles under the eyes?
Compared to all other skin areas on the face, the eye area is the thinnest. And the eye area is especially sensitive. The structure below the epidermal skin layer of the eye area is a network system of dense capillaries. Because the eye area is very sensitive, when exposed to internal or external influences, the capillaries under the epidermis will dilate. This condition causes capillaries to break and dark pigmented areas appear on the skin's surface. This phenomenon is often called: dark eye circles or dark eyes.
Causes of dark circles under the eyes
To solve dark eye circles, we often turn to skin care products such as eye cream. Is eye cream to treat dark circles effective?
Before going into exploring whether dark eye creams are effective? We need to clearly understand what causes dark eye circles. So what factors cause dark eye circles?
Pathological signs
Dark circles under the eyes can be the cause of some serious diseases such as kidney failure, chronic liver failure, stomach pain... Dark circles under the eyes are a sign of an abnormal condition in the body. Therefore, if you do not stay up late or are stressed but have dark circles under your eyes, it is likely that you are having some serious medical problems. In this case, go see a medical facility. When the medical condition stabilizes, signs of dark circles also automatically disappear.
Age
As you get older, your skin also tends to thin. The natural aging process causes a gradual loss of collagen and subcutaneous fat. The consequence of this condition is that the eye area becomes thinner, loses elasticity, sags, and wrinkles and dark circles appear. This is most easily noticed in older people. Even with a moderate lifestyle, dark eye circles still appear.
Other factors
Besides factors due to disease and age, below are the most common causes of dark eye circles:
- Irregular lifestyle: staying up late and stress are two of the most common causes of dark circles today. Therefore, building a reasonable lifestyle that balances work and rest is very important.
- Using stimulants: regularly using stimulants such as alcohol, beer, cigarettes... will lead to the shrinkage of capillaries under the skin in the eye area. They make it difficult for blood to circulate and lead to wrinkles and dark circles under the eyes.
- Sunlight: UVA and UVB ultraviolet rays contained in sunlight are the cause of the worst effects on the eyes and the skin under the eyes. Ultraviolet rays cause melanin to increase, causing the skin to darken. Not only that, ultraviolet rays can also penetrate deeply, penetrating the skin's epidermis and affecting the dermis layer of the skin. From there, ultraviolet rays cause the eye area to sag, darken and wrinkles appear.
