Dark discoloration of the skin under the eye is mainly referred to as dark circles. Dark circles are common with everyone. Sometimes we can not get rid of these circles no matter how we try.
Some major reasons behind these hideous things are:
- Heredity
- Aging
- Dry skin
- Prolonged crying
- Working for long hours in front of a computer
- Mental or physical stress
- Lack of sleep
- Unhealthy diet
Dark circles are not a serious problem, but they do make you look tired, unhealthy and older.
