Everyone has had dark circles at some point of time. If you don’t get enough sleep for a day, Bam! There they are. Don’t drink water, and, bam! Back again to make your eyes look like you are several years old. In this fast paced life, it is rare that a woman hasn’t faced this problem of dark circles. So what really causes these dreaded circles to appear? Let’s find out. There is a network of tiny blood vessels under our eyes. They are so thin that sometimes blood leaks out of them. To clean that up, some enzymes are produced which appear to be black.

Why cover up your beautiful eyes behind big sunglasses when you can look at some of the causes of dark circles and understand how to prevent them?
