Dark Circles and Under-Eye Bags: Real Causes and Fixes
Tired eyes? You’re not alone. Dark circles and under-eye bags are among the most common concerns we see at Rx Rejuvenate. These issues don’t just make you look fatigued—they can also add years to your appearance.
The problem is, most people try to cover them up with makeup or eye creams without understanding the real cause. And unless you treat the root of the problem, the puffiness and pigmentation won’t go away.
Let’s explore what really causes dark circles and under-eye bags—and what actually works to fix them.
What Causes Dark Circles and Under-Eye Bags?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Several factors can contribute to these concerns:
1. Genetics
Some people are naturally predisposed to under-eye pigmentation or puffiness due to thinner skin or deeper-set eyes.
2. Aging
As we age, we lose collagen and fat around the eyes, making blood vessels more visible and skin appear hollow or shadowed. The muscles supporting your eyelids can also weaken, leading to bags.
3. Sleep Deprivation
Lack of sleep causes blood vessels to dilate, which shows up as a darker tone under the eyes. It also causes fluid retention, making puffiness worse.
4. Allergies or Nasal Congestion
Blocked sinuses can create pressure in the under-eye area, causing swelling and discoloration.
5. Sun Exposure
Over time, UV exposure can break down collagen and increase melanin production, worsening pigmentation around the eyes.
6. Dehydration & Poor Diet
Lack of hydration and high-salt foods can lead to fluid buildup and darkened skin.
Types of Under-Eye Concerns
Understanding the type of issue is key to choosing the right solution:
-
Pigmented dark circles (brown or bluish): Caused by melanin or visible blood vessels
-
Structural hollows: Loss of fat and volume creates a shadowed look
-
Puffiness or under-eye bags: Due to fat displacement or fluid retention
-
Temporary puffiness: Usually from sleep issues or allergies
