A member asked:

What can help with dark circles around my eyes? i'm only 18 i thought older people only get them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Genetics: For some people, incease skin pigmentation in various locations on their body is inherited. Fatigue can make us look more tired and accentuate the appearance of lower lid pigmentation. If this trait runs in your family, then you can blame your genes and spend more time with eyelid concealer.
