Surprising causes of dark circles
Periorbital pigmentation, also known as dark circles, is a relatively common condition that many individuals are bothered by daily. Though causes and treatments can vary, fatigue is the most common cause.
And while it’d be nice to be able to say getting enough sleep could cure all of your concerns, it’s not always that easy. In fact, there are a multitude of reasons for those pesky dark circles and under-eye discoloration that are annoying you.
Let’s get right to it, shall we? Here is a comprehensive list of causes behind those bothersome raccoon eyes.
- Allergies
- Thin skin (letting visible veins show through as blue circles)
- Inflammation
- Toxins within the body
- Shadows from under-eye hollows (volume/collagen loss)
- Your genetic makeup (eye structure and surrounding bones)
- Stress/fatigue (often the result of a lack of sleep)
- Sun exposure

The good news is that many of these can be addressed by healthy lifestyle changes!
