The skin around our eyes is very delicate and thin, making it particularly vulnerable to premature aging. There are a number of different factors that can wreak havoc on the skin around our eyes.

Dark under-eye circles are often simply hereditary. The appearance of dark circles under the eyes can be caused by the reflections or shadows cast by the bulges of fat that occur naturally in the lower eyelids. If the bulging of fat is the cause of your dark circles, then lower eyelid surgery to remove the fat bags is the only effective solution to this problem.
