Homonym: Dark Circles (Cosmetics)
Dark circles are the darkened areas of skin that appear under the eyes. They can be caused by various factors, including lack of sleep, stress, and aging. When the skin loses collagen and elasticity, blood vessels beneath the skin can become more visible, leading to a darker appearance.
Other contributing factors include genetics, allergies, and dehydration. While dark circles are usually not a serious health concern, they can affect a person's appearance and self-esteem. Treatments may include lifestyle changes, topical creams, or cosmetic procedures to reduce their visibility.
