 Dark circles under the eyes can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

Genetics: Some people are more prone to dark circles due to their genetic makeup.

Aging: As we age, the skin under the eyes becomes thinner, making the blood vessels more visible.

Lack of sleep: When we don't get enough sleep, the skin under the eyes can appear pale, making dark circles more noticeable.

Allergies: Allergies can cause inflammation and swelling of the blood vessels under the eyes, resulting in dark circles.

Nasal congestion: When the nasal passages become congested, the blood vessels in the area can become dilated, resulting in dark circles under the eyes.

Anemia: People with anemia may have dark circles due to low iron levels which can cause pale skin and dark circles.

Sun exposure: Sun exposure can cause hyperpigmentation and dark circles.

Dehydration: When the body is dehydrated, the skin can appear dull and dark circles can appear more prominent.

Hormonal changes: Hormonal changes can cause dark circles under the eyes.

It's important to identify the underlying cause of dark circles in order to effectively treat them. In some cases, lifestyle changes like getting enough sleep and drinking enough water, may help. In other cases, topical creams or makeup can be used to conceal them, but consulting a dermatologist can be helpful to address the underlying issue.
