Dark circles under eyes usually are temporary and not a
medical concern. You may be surprised to learn that fatigue usually isn't
the cause of dark circles. Instead, the most common cause is nasal
congestion. When your nose is congested, veins that usually drain from
your eyes into your nose become widened (dilated) and darker.
Another cause of undereye circles is eyelid swelling
during sleep. When you lie down, gravity can cause fluid to collect in
your lower eyelids. This swelling may create the appearance of shadows
below your eyes. In addition, dark circles can result from chronic skin
conditions, such as atopic eczema. Dark circles can also run in families.
Over-the-counter products may help diminish dark circles under eyes. Look
for skin creams that contain vitamin C or K, alpha hydroxy acid and
kinetin.
