Causes of dark circles under the eyes
The main causes of dark circles and bags under the eyes are:
| Cause | Description |
| Heredity | The area between the cheeks, nose and eye is called the nasolacrimal sulcus. With age, due to the thinning of the fatty layer in this area, it becomes more expressive. The result is a redistribution of the shadow |
| Violation of the water-salt balance | Due to non-compliance with the drinking regimen and excessive consumption of spicy and salty foods, the blood vessels expand and swelling appears, which increases the manifestations of dark circles. |
| Eye strain | In this case, stagnation of blood in the capillaries occurs, which leads to the appearance of bruises. |
| Some diseases of internal organs | Dark circles may indicate sinusitis, anemia, kidney, liver, gallbladder, thyroid, or pancreatic disease. |
