According to Healthline, dark circles can affect anyone but are typically more common in older adults, people with darker skin tones, and those with a genetic predisposition to the condition.
Although there is typically no cause for concern it may be worth speaking with a doctor or dermatologist if you notice the dark circles are swelling or getting darker.
Lifestyle factors, genetics, and nutritional deficiencies can impact how long the under-eye circles are visible.
Many people swear by using raw potato or potato juice to treat skin conditions such as hyperpigmentation and acne.
