Introduction
Dark circles under the eyes are a common cosmetic concern, making you look tired, stressed, or older than your age. They can result from lifestyle habits, stress, genetics, or environmental factors. At Miss Me Ayurvedic, we focus on natural and herbal solutions to reduce dark circles while improving skin health around the delicate eye area.
What Causes Dark Circles?
1. Lack of Sleep & Fatigue
Insufficient sleep reduces blood circulation, leading to darker under-eye skin.
2. Stress & Lifestyle Factors
Stress, late nights, smoking, and alcohol can worsen pigmentation.
3. Genetics & Aging
Thin skin, visible blood vessels, and hereditary pigmentation can contribute to dark circles.
4. Sun Exposure
Excessive sun exposure increases melanin production, darkening the under-eye area.
5. Nutritional Deficiencies
Lack of iron, vitamins, and hydration can weaken skin, making dark circles more prominent.
Ayurvedic View on Dark Circles
Ayurveda links dark circles primarily to Vata imbalance, which causes dryness, dullness, and weak skin, and Pitta imbalance, which can lead to pigmentation and inflammation. Correcting these doshas with natural herbs helps restore healthy skin tone and reduce under-eye darkness.
