SO, WHY DO DARK CIRCLES HAPPEN?
The best way of overcoming something is to understand its causes. “Dark circles can be caused by multiple different factors,” explains Dr Maryam Zamani, Oculoplastic Surgeon and Aesthetic Doctor and creator of MZ Skin. “When there is volume loss, it can be called tear troughs, which is inevitable as a part of the normal ageing process. If it is caused by pigmentation, it is called hyperpigmentation.”
“There is some genetic component to dark circles, too. Some ethnicities, such as Asian and south east Asians, can have hereditary hyperpigmentation and some individuals have a family history of puffy lower eyelids from fat prolapse,” she explains.
