1. The skin under the eyes is thin The skin
under your eyes is way thinner as compared to the
skin elsewhere. Hence, it is more transparent.
This way, the blood vessels underneath the skin
is more clearly visible.

2. Excessive Melanin in the Skin Another
reason for dark circles under the eyes is
hyperpigmentation, which is the excess deposit of
melanin (a dark pigment). This is a common
feature for people belonging to the South Asian
or Mediterranean regions.

3. Shadows due to puffiness or edema Any kind
of fluid retention can also cause the skin to
puff around the eyes and thereafter leave a
shadow below. The puffiness can be a result of
allergies, illnesses, eating excessive salt and
so on and so forth.

4. Lack of elasticity Sometimes, the skin
may also sag into a pouch-type shape due to age
and free-radicals from the sun. This destroys
collagen and elastin present in the skin.
Therefore, the sagging skin becomes thin in
various places, looking darker.

These are some of the underlying reasons for dark
circles under the eyes and as you can see, they
are very different from lack of sleep or stress.
