So, what really causes dark circles under your eyes?
According to Zamani, dark circles are generally are simple hyperpigmentation, which is due to genetics.
“This allows veins to show through, resulting in a darker appearance.”
Dermatologist Heidi Waldorf toldGood Housekeepingthat age can also play a role.
“Since skin becomes more translucent with age, blood vessels appear more prominent,” she explained.
Smoking is another leading cause of hyperpigmentation and dark circles under the eyes.
