Dark Circles & Bags Under The Eyes

Dark circles and bags under the eyes are common cosmetic concerns that affect the skin around the eyes. These issues can make a person appear tired, stressed, or older than they actually are. Here's a brief description of each:

​

1. Dark Circles:

   • Colouration: Dark circles are characterised by a darker pigmentation of the skin under the eyes. The skin in this area is thinner, and blood vessels may become more visible, contributing to the appearance of darkness.

   • Causes: Common causes include lack of sleep, genetics, ageing, dehydration, and exposure to sunlight. Conditions such as allergies and eczema can also contribute to the development of dark circles.

2. Bags Under the Eyes:

   • Appearance: Bags under the eyes refer to the puffiness or swelling that occurs in the lower eyelid area. This can create a bag-like or swollen appearance, making the eyes look tired or droopy.

   • Causes: The primary causes of bags under the eyes include fluid retention, ageing, hereditary factors, allergies, and lifestyle factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and lack of sleep.

3. Combination:

   • Often Together: It's common for individuals to experience both dark circles and bags under the eyes simultaneously. The combination can give the eyes a tired and aged appearance.
