The Real Cause of Dark Under Eye Circles

Dark circles under the eye are every girl’s nightmare.  Many women have noticed that as they age, discoloration in the skin under their eyes tends to develop.  I will explain what causes these annoying spots.

Your body sends special enzymes to break down the red blood cells, including their hemoglobin (the molecule that gives them their distinctive red color). It is the remaining components of this broken down hemoglobin that give the dark blue color.
