Dark Circles :
Dark circles is among the conditions where the skin under eyes becomes darker than the overall face. The causes include lack of sleep, old age, and genetics. The former is the most significant cause usually it's what brings about the pale look about the skin making even veins underneath apparent. Generally, older people have skin that is very thin and allows the circles to be as evident as possible. Other causes include dehydration and allergies. The longer the time under the sun boosts melanin under the eyes. The most common symptoms include the darkening of the skin around the eye region, in addition to swelling, sagging under the eye, resulting in a tired or old look. This is very seldom symptomatic of a serious medical condition but can easily hamper the individual's self esteem. Generally, appropriate treatment is rest, hydration by consuming enough water, and a cold compression to reduce swelling. Over the counter, there could be creams with vitamin C or retinol or caffeine that are known to retard darkness. Treatment can be acquired through laser therapy in extreme cases through dermatologic treatments such as chemical peels or fillers.
