What Your Dark Eye Circle Colour Says & How to Brighten Them
Waking up to dark eye circles can be frustrating, especially when they won’t go away no matter how much sleep you get. But do you know that the colour of your dark circles can reveal a lot about their cause? Whether they’re brown, blue, or shadowy black, understanding what’s behind them is the first step to finding the right treatment.
In this guide, we’ll explore what the different colours mean, why your eye creams might not be working, and the best treatments to restore a brighter, more youthful look.
What Causes Dark Eye Circles?
Dark circles are one of the most common beauty concerns, and they can appear for a variety of reasons:
- Genetics – You naturally have thinner skin around the eyes or are prone to pigmentation.
- Lack of sleep – Poor rest leads to poor circulation, making the blood vessels under your eyes more visible.
- Ageing – As we age, we lose collagen and fat under the eyes, causing a sunken, shadowy effect.
- Allergies and irritation – Rubbing your eyes frequently can trigger inflammation and darken the area.
- Sun exposure – UV rays can stimulate melanin production, leading to brownish pigmentation.
Since different factors contribute to other types of dark circles, let’s dive into what their colours reveal.
What the Colour of Your Dark Circles Says About You
Brown Dark Eye Circles
If your under-eye area looks brown or tan, it’s usually due to hyperpigmentation. This can be caused by sun exposure, rubbing your eyes too much, or genetics. It’s especially common in people with darker skin tones.
Blue/Purple Dark Eye Circles
These are usually a sign of poor circulation or thinning skin. When blood pools under the eyes due to lack of sleep, dehydration, or stress, it creates a bluish or purplish tint.
Black or Deep Shadowed Dark Eye Circles
If your dark circles look more like shadows rather than actual discolouration, the culprit is likely hollowing due to ageing, volume loss, or genetics. As we lose fat and collagen, the area under the eyes can appear sunken, making dark circles more prominen t.
Why Eye Creams Don't Work
Many of us have spent money on expensive eye creams, hoping for a miracle, only to see little to no difference. Why? Because most dark circle treatment creams are caused by structural issues like volume loss, poor circulation, or pigmentation, which eye creams alone can’t fix.
While creams with brightening or hydrating ingredients can help, they won’t work for deep-set shadows or severe pigmentation.
When to Consider Professional Treatment
If your dark circles don’t improve with sleep, hydration, and skincare, it might be time to explore medical-grade treatments. These are designed to target the root cause, whether it’s poor circulation, pigmentation, or ageing.
Here are some of the best treatments based on the underlying causes of dark circles.Â
