hi ,
i started developing under eye dark circles at the age of 18.I was at a lot of stress at that time.now i am 22 and those have become a bit horrid.My mom also have them . But she had it at the age of 25 never before that and had the same problem of stress and none of her family members has it.I would like to add that my life style habits during this time has not been very healthy .So the dark circles that have developed are due to vitamin deficiency or a genetic factor ?? will i be able to get rid of it?

Hello,
Dark circles around eyes could be hereditary or due to nutritional deficiencies.
Do the following
Take proper sleep
Take some iron and B complex supplement
Drink plenty of water
Take plenty of fresh fruits and green vegetables.
Treat your sinusitis or blocked nose,if having it.
Quit smoking and alcohol,if taking it.
Apply cucumber slices on your eyes
You can also apply ice cubes on your eyes wrapped in cloth.
Avoid sleeping late.
You may even consult a dermatologist and apply specific creams under your eyes.
Avoid sun.
When going out,you may apply concealers.
Thanks
