How often have you encountered the unpleasant phenomenon of dark circles appearing under your eyes?
Usually, women try to disguise this defect with cosmetics as quickly as possible and do not really think about the cause of its appearance. But the appearance of this symptom may indicate not only overwork or lack of sleep, but also disruptions in the functioning of internal organs and body systems.
When should you sound the alarm and what diseases can dark circles under the eyes in women warn of?
Why do dark circles appear under the eyes?
The skin around the eyes is very thin, sensitive and delicate. The collagen fibers in it are arranged in a mesh pattern, and this contributes to its increased extensibility. Due to facial activity, this area of the face is constantly in motion and is prone to swelling. Immediately under the skin there are blood vessels that are translucent due to the small thickness of the skin and the accumulation of blood in them with an insufficient amount of oxygen.
As a result, dark circles appear under the eyes. This effect is further enhanced by the fact that the eyes are located in the area of the orbital sockets and the manifestation of such shadows is enhanced. To get rid of dark circles under the eyes, it is necessary to find out the reason for their appearance, since the methods for eliminating them depend on this.
How to determine the cause by the color of dark circles
Experts testify that the shade of the circles can presumably diagnose the disease. Circles under the eyes, depending on the cause, are blue, brown, red, yellow.

Physiological reasons
There are many more reasons for dark circles that are not associated with a pathological condition of the body. Many factors have a negative impact on the skin, especially on such sensitive skin as under the eyes.
- State of mind. General depression, chronic depression, attacks of causeless anxiety do not have the best effect on appearance.
- Physiological characteristics of the body. Mainly heredity. Remember how things are with your closest relatives. Age also matters - the skin of the eyelids and the tissue underneath gradually become thinner, “showing” capillaries.
- Diet. Frequent consumption of fried, smoked, spicy and salty foods, late tea drinking, insufficient amounts of vitamins and minerals - all this negatively affects the overall health and appearance of the skin. Toxins that accumulate in the blood and tissues of the body can cause dark circles under the eyes. It is possible to get rid of such external manifestations of poor nutrition by revising the daily menu and replenishing the microelements and minerals missing in the body. To do this, you may need to consult a doctor or nutritionist.
- Lifestyle . Insufficient sleep duration has a very negative effect on the condition of the skin of the eyelids. Most people need 7–8 hours every day, but there are also people whose norm is significantly less or more. You only need to focus on your own body in this matter. Sleeping conditions are also important - lack of light, noise, room temperature, comfort of furniture, bedding, and so on. It is also important to be outdoors as often as possible. It is advisable to combine this with physical activity, but simple walking at a moderate pace is also suitable. And at night it is very useful to ventilate the bedroom.
- Work and leisure. Dark grayish-brown circles appear most clearly in the late afternoon. Regular overwork, chronic stress, general fatigue, work related to the computer, and watching TV provoke stagnation of blood in the capillaries. Excess adrenaline in it provokes vasoconstriction. If your job requires you to strain your eyes all the time, the appearance of dark circles is almost inevitable.
- Smoking and alcohol. Substances found in tobacco smoke and alcohol contribute to chronic intoxication of the body and have a destructive effect on all tissues. The skin of drinkers and smokers ages faster and is more susceptible to inflammation and swelling. Over time, it becomes impossible to get rid of dark circles under the eyes caused by constant intoxication. Only quitting smoking and frequent drinking can restore the beauty of your skin and eyes.
- Incorrect care. The eyelids are extremely sensitive and immediately respond to any “external aggression”. This could be hot and cold water, low-quality cosmetics, or incorrect application. Use only creams and cleansers intended for eyelids. Apply them with light pats of your fingers, without rubbing or stretching the skin. Leaving makeup on overnight is a strict taboo.
The most common cause of dark circles under the eyes is overwork and chronic lack of sleep. Lack of sleep makes the skin pale and dull, causing blood vessels to become more visible and purple shadows to appear under the eyes. Improper care (or lack of care) for the area around the eyes, poorly selected cosmetics, and the habit of rubbing your eyes with your hands also contribute to the appearance of dark circles under the eyes.
Possible diseases
If all physiological causes are excluded, circles under the eyes indicate the presence of some disease. They must be accompanied by certain symptoms.
We list the possible diseases that cause circles under the eyes in women:
- Kidney diseases. The formation of circles is accompanied by the appearance of swelling and bags. Circles can be an indicator of infectious and non-infectious kidney damage. The disease is characterized by impaired renal function and fluid retention in the body. Since the kidneys remove toxins, metabolic products, and medications from the body, intoxication occurs when their functioning is disrupted. Most often, bags and dark spots appear in the morning.
- Liver dysfunction. Hyperpigmentation of the skin is observed, and it is most pronounced around the eyes. When an organ malfunctions, toxic substances accumulate and become intoxicated. Violations lead to an increase in the volume of bilirubin. The circles acquire an icteric tint, which depends on the degree of liver damage. Severe liver damage leads to jaundice throughout the face.
- Allergy. The circles can be caused by various allergens. In addition to circles, itching, redness, and swelling are possible. With constant contact with the allergen, circles are constantly observed as a symptom of atopic dermatitis.
- Anemia is a decrease in hemoglobin levels. B vitamins are poorly absorbed and there is a lack of iron. It often occurs in women during pregnancy, but with an improved diet and the use of appropriate medications, the indicators are restored to normal. With anemia, dark circles are permanent and do not go away after rest. The condition is accompanied by dizziness and shortness of breath. The skin turns pale, the eyes become sunken. Due to a decrease in the volume of oxygen supplied to organs and tissues, oxygen starvation is diagnosed.
- Diabetes. There is an increase in glucose levels in the blood due to an insufficient amount of insulin, or it is produced in an increased volume, but the tissues have an increased sensitivity to it. In such a situation, tissue nutrition is disrupted, which causes the formation of dark circles.
- Impaired blood circulation functions. Circles are especially common in chronic disorders. The body experiences venous stagnation (slow movement through the veins). Such signs characterize vegetative-vascular dystonia. This disease is a consequence of stressful shocks and pathological fatigue. There are disruptions in the functioning of the nervous system and deviations from the norm in the functioning of the heart.
- Inflammatory processes. Circles occur with conjunctivitis, blepharitis, which occurs with swelling of the eyelids, redness, and itching.
- Infection with worms. Only consultation with a specialist will help to establish the cause of the occurrence with accuracy.
Dark circles under the eyes can appear due to certain infectious inflammatory processes (for example, sinusitis), headaches, diseases of the upper teeth and other diseases. It is possible to identify the true cause of their appearance only after consulting a doctor and carrying out the examination recommended by him. After diagnosis, treatment of the underlying disease is necessary, getting rid of which will also help eliminate dark circles under the eyes.
Diagnostics
If dark circles appear under the eyes, you should not try to disguise them under a thick layer of decorative cosmetics.
This will not solve the problem, but will only worsen the cosmetic defect. The first step towards eliminating dark circles under the eyes should be to find out the reasons for their occurrence. If lifestyle changes have not led to an improvement in the condition of the skin in the periorbital area, you should consult a therapist (gastroenterologist, endocrinologist, allergist - if you associate the appearance of dark circles under the eyes with certain health problems).
From laboratory examinations, it is advisable to perform a general and biochemical blood test, a general urine test, a spectral blood test for microelements, a study of thyroid hormones, a stool test for helminth eggs and Giardia. Additional instrumental studies may include an electrocardiogram, ultrasound of the abdominal organs, kidneys and retroperitoneal space.
If an in-depth examination did not reveal any health problems, then, most likely, dark circles under the eyes are a cosmetic defect that requires contacting a dermatocosmetologist.
How to get rid of dark spots under the eyes
You can cure black spots under the eyes in the following ways:
- Drug treatment. Indicated in cases where a woman is diagnosed with a disease. Having cured the main ailment with the help of medications, the chance to overcome the “bruises” is very high.

Causes
Despite the fact that we all carefully monitor our appearance, we tend to sometimes not pay attention to obvious changes in the mirror. We only realize it when the eyelids and the area around the eyes begin to stand out brightly against the background of the rest of the face. You can read more about this in the article “Dark circles under the eyes,” but here I will just briefly remind you of what causes this.
The defect in women can provoke:
- long-term work on a PC;
- overwork, stress;
- physical inactivity, lack of movement;
- internal diseases, hormonal imbalance;
- pregnancy;
- menstrual cycle;
- genetic feature;
- age-related changes.
With the exception of pregnancy and menstruation, the reasons for a man or a child will be the same.
Circles are different.
What the skin of the eyelids and eye sockets can tell you:
- cyanosis in the eye sockets may indicate heart failure, poor lung function, gastrointestinal disorders, alcohol abuse;
- yellowness on the eyelids is sometimes inherited, but may indicate problems with the liver, gall bladder and pancreas;
- a green color may indicate that the frame of your glasses is oxidizing, but it can be a dangerous symptom of some diseases in which cyanosis simultaneously develops, giving a blue tint, and yellowness from an increase in bilirubin in the blood;
- redness around the eyes indicates allergic reactions, intoxication or disease of the respiratory system;
- “bags” in the area of the upper eyelid - insufficiency of the kidneys;
- swelling in the lower eyelid area is cardiac edema, which indicates problems with the heart muscle and blood vessels.
Your doctor will prescribe treatment for your underlying disease.
What means to combat the defect
General recommendations
Before determining how to get rid of dark circles under the eyes, you need to rule out serious diseases.
If we don't sleep enough and get very tired, our eye sockets can acquire a dark, brownish tint and our eyes become sunken. If the pillow is too thin and low, as well as spending more than 9 hours in bed every day, the orbital area may swell and swell due to moisture infiltration into the subcutaneous tissue.
If the defect arose due to sleep disturbances, overwork or poor nutrition, the first thing you need to do is normalize your life:
- eat 4-5 times a day, excluding unhealthy foods, fast foods, soda, margarine, excess salty, spicy and rich foods;
- go to bed at the same time, setting aside at least 7 hours and no more than 9 hours for sleep;
- sit less at the computer, do not read in poor lighting;
- quit smoking and drinking alcohol;
- do not squint in the sun; if you have such a habit, you should wear dark glasses;
- Raise your pillows so that your head is not in a horizontal position.
If, in addition to all this, you start regularly walking in the fresh air, doing gymnastics and avoiding stress, the problem may solve itself.
