One of the most obvious reasons why you're getting dark circles under your eyes is lack of sleep. This happens because lack of sleep causes your blood vessels to expand, causing a dark discoloration under your eyes.
Your makeup habits might be causing those heavy dark circles under your eyes. The kind of makeup you use around your eyes, like concealers and eyeshadows, could be too harsh on your skin, causing under eye circles.
Allergens that surround you everyday could be causing those pesky dark circles! Allergic reactions can actually cause your blood vessels to dilate, and since your skin is the thinnest under your eyes, they tend to show more discoloartion when that happens. Taking antihistamines is a great fix to this problem!
So, for more vibrant and youthful eyes, fix these daily mistakes ASAP! Try regulating your sleep pattern to make sure you're catching up on your rest, and lay off the makeup for a while to let your skin breathe. As for allergies, that's not a super easy fix, but making sure you stay away from any irritants and take medication for your allergens is a great way to start!
