"Swelling and puffiness around the eyes can be signs of ageing or other medical problems," says Dr Zamani. The more dehydrated the skin around the eyes, the more tired and fatigued they appear." What's the difference between dark circles and under-eye bags? Because of the thin overlying skin, markers for poor circulation are more prominently revealed around the eyes than on other parts of the body. It can be anything from hereditary, hyperpigmentation, poor circulation, hollowness or the sunken appearance of the eyelids. External environmental factors like sluggish microcirculation can also exacerbate tired-looking eyes, making them appear darker. "Although getting enough sleep is very important for your overall health. "There are a variety of different reasons that dark circles appear, and contrary to popular belief, fatigue is not one of the main causes," explains Dr Maryam Zamani, an oculoplastic surgeon and facial aesthetics doctor. Yep, lack of sleep isn't one of the main causes. You might notice that one particular cause is left off the above list. Inflamed, itchy skin can result in hyperpigmentation, which is followed by rubbing and scratching of the affected area." Does lack of sleep cause dark circles? "Those with chronic inflammatory skin disorders such as eczema or skin allergies may also suffer from this problem. "As we age our skin thins, which makes blood vessels more visible and we lose volume due to a depletion in collagen, pulling the lower eye area down and creating hollow contours and shadows. This is sometimes known as periorbital melanosis." "Dark circles are very common, however hyperpigmentation under the eyes is more common in Asian skin because dark-skinned people have more melanin (the pigment which gives skin its colour) than light-skinned people.
"Rings under the eyes often run within a family and can be down to your skin type," adds Dr Anjali Mahto, consultant dermatologist and author of The Skincare Bible.
