Common causes of dark circles under the eyes include:
1) Heredity: Dark circles under the eyes can appear in childhood, and are often an inherited trait.
2) Allergies: Nasal congestion can dilate the blood vessels that drain from the area around your eyes, causing them to darken.
3) Sleep deprivation is the most common cause, and the easiest to prevent, but …
4) Oversleeping can also cause dark eye circles.
5) Eczema
6) Stress
7) Anemia: Iron deficiency can prevent the blood from carrying sufficient oxygen to eye tissues.
8) Minor trauma that causes the appearance of a black eye
9) Crying
10) Lifestyle: Excessive smoking or drinking can contribute to under-eye circles.
11) Fluid retention: as may occur with pregnancy or weight gain.
12) Skin pigmentation abnormalities. The skin around the eyes is thinner, which is why blood vessels are more readily visible through it. For this reason, irregular distribution of the melanin that gives the skin its color can cause dark circles to appear beneath the eyes. This is frequently a problem for people of Asian or African descent.
13) Excessive exposure to the sun. Sun exposure encourages your body to produce more melanin
14) Age: As we get older, we lose some of the fat and collagen surrounding our eyes. This loss, combined with the thinning of our skin, magnifies the appearance of dark eye circles.
15) Mononucleosis can cause the eyes to appear puffy and swollen.
16) Periorbital cellulitis
17) Excess salt in the diet
