What Causes Hyperpigmentation around Eyes and Can It be Fixed?

Did you know the skin around our eyes is so fragile and more vulnerable to damage? Many studies revealed that the eyes around the skin are 10 times thinner than the rest of the face. Being so delicate, the area under the skin is more prone to damage and any form of skin discoloration is more noticeable.

Lack of sleep, sun damage, and genetics can contribute to discoloration around the eyes. Under-eye discoloration or tanning can be stemmed from a myriad of reasons from external to internal factors.

What causes dark circles?

Here we have listed four primary reasons which contribute to dark circles under the eyes.

• Genetics
• Sun damage
• Stress
• Lack of sleep

Note: Environmental factors also contribute to dark circles.

It is a very tedious task to completely fade the dark circles around the eyes.  Vitamin C will help to boost radiance around the eye area. In addition to the powerful Vitamin C complex, the Trilogy serum also contains pure L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C), Vitamin E, and Ferulic acid, it is proven to reduce signs of aging, and UV damage, and pigmentation. These ingredients help to buff away dead skin cells and improve hydration, gradually diffusing darkness so that the skin appears more luminous.

A common cause of hyperpigmentation is an excess production of melanin, which is a pigment that imparts color to our skin. It has been observed that people with darker skin tones are more prone to hyperpigmentation, which makes it even worse with excess sun exposure.

Melanocyte cells in our skin are pigment carriers and also protect our skin if exposed to UV rays. Significant sun exposure causes these cells to behave erratically, leading to hyperpigmentation. But Vitamin C helps in tackling this skin issue effectively, fading existing hyperpigmentation, whilst preventing discoloration.

Stress often leads to exhaustion, and frustration and interferes with our sleep cycle. Sleep is vital to skin health, and a disturbed sleep cycle leads to oxygenated blood pools under the eyes, showing up as dark circles. Also, disturbed sleep patterns can lead us to premature skin aging.

Additionally consuming a lot of junk food starts affecting our organs which are directly linked to the kidney and liver, according to Chinese studies. Excess consumption of stimulants such as caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and chocolate, also results in dark circles under the eyes. 

Vitamin C will not only brighten the eye area but also reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. To treat stress-related dark circles, good sleep is a must along with h consistent night skin care regimen. At least eight hours of sleep is a must to have healthy glowing skin.

The Trilogy serum from KJ is a hand-blended serum made out of a fresh-effective approach, with a shelf life of one month period. KJ’s clean skin movement focuses on blemish-free healthy youthful skin.

A pea-size drop of serum can be applied gently around the eyes to avoid unnecessarily stretching the skin.
