Dark circles treatment Dark circles around the eyes appear when the blood vessels in this are dilate — the presence of blood so close to the surface of the skin is what gives the skin a dark appearance, unlike other parts of the body, where darkening of the skin is usually due to an increase in the skin pigment melanin.
The causes of this are many, and the best way to get rid of your dark circles is to address the cause. One common cause is fatigue or a lack of sleep, which also tends to make the eyelids and the area under the eyes look puffy. This is an extremely common reason, and is the first thing you should consider. Another very common reason for dark circles under the eyes is nasal congestion. This may be simply due to a cold, or due to an allergy. If you have dark circles a lot of the time, no matter how much you sleep, you may have some allergy that is causing them, so you should consult your doctor.
Certain medications can also cause the dilation of the blood vessels that gives the skin a dark appearance, so you should check with your doctor about the side effects of any medication that you take.
