The appearance of dark circles under the eyes is a common concern. Why do these circles appear? The layer of skin under the eye is very thin—about the thickness of an egg membrane—so thin that even healthy-looking, tiny capillary blood vessels can be visible. Dark circles can be caused by sleep deprivation, stress, eye strain, dehydrated skin or dry eyes. That said, there are different types and causes of dark circles. Circles can appear blue, brown or black.
Description | Cause | |
---|---|---|
Blue Circles | Blue circles appearing in the under eye area are the result of blood gathering in the capillary vessels (known as hemostasis). Because the skin is thinner in this area, veins and blood vessels can appear enlarged and are more visible. | CAUSES:Sleep Deprivation, Stress, Eyestrain, Dry Eyes |
Brown Circles | Brown Circles in the eye area can be the result of uneven skin tone or melanin becoming visible. | CAUSES: Uneven skin tone, Thin skin in the eye area, Allergies, Dull skin, Adult Acne |
Blue x Brown Circles | Dark Circles are a combination of both blue and brown circles | CAUSES: All factors listed as causing Blue and Brown circles |
