I know this isn’t something that you don’t want to hear but, genetics may play a role in the dark circles underneath the eyes. Before you roll your eyes, this is something that should definitely be considered. If you’ve noticed that somewhere in your family down the line, that you have mothers, fathers and grandparents that suffer from dark circles, it may be that you have inherited them too. Now, it doesn’t mean that the problem can’t be solved, you just have to know the remedy. This issue can run in families and is most common in those who have darker skin tones.
