Answer 4

Mainly, the cause of dark circles is heredity (sorry!)

Sun exposure can also darken those circles (sunlight brings more melanin to the surface of the skin, so if you are predisposed to dark circles due to heredity, the beach and tanning bed will just make them darker!)

Some other causes: Allergies, Age and Nutrition (lack of vitamins/healthy eating)

Lack of sleep IS NOT a cause of dark circles! (Lack of sleep, along with illness and menstruation, can make you look a little paler which can emphasize dark circles, but does not actually create them)

Best thing to do is go through the list of causes and identify the one (or several) that apply to you. If they are fixable (nutrition, sun, allergies), get crackin on solutions! If they are unavoidable (heredity, age) invest in some terrific concealer. :)

Good Luck!

Answer 6

Maybe you should stop having dark-coloured stuffs , like coffee and stuffs...

Stop having caffeine , have juice , it's much better for your skin... If you want to remove your dark circles maybe you can try those eye masks that is available almost everywhere , they can lightened your dark circles...

You said you slept more than 8 hours a day , maybe you just need more sleep , like me , I tend to sleep 10 hours a day , if I sleep only 8 hours , my eyes get puffy...
