O'Donoghue also reveals genetic factors influence the emergence of the eye circles. If your parents have dark circles on the eyes, you probably also will experience it.
Sometimes dark circles around the eyes are not the blackened skin, but blood vessels. Because the skin layer of the eye is very thin, the blood vessels can be visible and give the impression of black circles. The circle will be seen more clearly for those who have light skin.
