Understanding Dark Circles Did you know that dark circles aren’t just caused by a lack of sleep? There are actually three main types: pigmentation, vascular, and structural. Here’s a quick breakdown of what each one means: - Pigmentation: This type of dark circle is caused by an overproduction of melanin, the pigment in our skin. It can be due to genetics, sun exposure, or even hormonal changes. - Vascular: This happens when blood vessels under the skin become more prominent. It can be caused by things like stress, dehydration, or lack of sleep. - Structural: This occurs when there’s a loss of fat or collagen in the under-eye area, creating shadows that make the circles appear darker. Lack of sleep and dehydration can definitely make dark circles worse. And did you know that asthmatic patients sometimes develop dark circles from rubbing their eyes due to allergies? 😴💧 If you struggle with dark circles, remember that you’re not alone. Understanding the cause is the first step to finding a solution. Stay tuned for more tips on how to manage and treat dark circles! 🌟 #vfysha #vfyshainfinity #vfysha
