Ways Your Skin Reveals Underlying Health Issues

Dark Circles Under The Eyes

Although a lack of sleep can be a contributing factor, a patient may suffer from dark under-eye circles for a multitude of reasons. Dark circles underneath the eyes can be a combination of genetics, lifestyle choices, and age. As you age, the fat pads and structural support around the eye change and may result in the skin becoming darker.

Dark eye circles can also indicate food or environmental allergens the body finds toxic, such as dairy, gluten, and eggs for food, and pollen, dust, or animal allergens for environmental. If the problem persists, patients are advised to consult an allergist to obtain an allergy test, so they know for sure what the possible cause may be. A nutrient deficiency or dehydration can also be causes of under-eye darkness.
