Yesterday, we showed you the most important thing to remember when confronting dark circles under your eyes: Avoid irritation.

When you finish today's conversation, you'll understand why your eyes have dark blue, or red, or black, or yellow circles.

Today, we'll examine...

The THREE major causes of dark eye circles

Thanks to the dermatologists and researchers behind Dermage, we understand the science behind eye circles.

Unfortunately, it's not just one thing that causes dark circles under your eyes.

But, as we promised you, we'll break this into easy-to-understand pieces - so you can focus on eliminating under-eye darkness.

We'll take a quick look at each of the three causes, one by one.

Let's start with the first cause of dark eye circles:

The skin under your eyes produces a waste product called bilirubin, which leaves a dark yellowish color.

Our bodies have an enzyme that removes the yellowish waste.

But as we age, our bodies don't produce enough of this enzyme.

The result? Dark, jaundice-like circles under your eyes.

Now for the second cause of dark eye circles:

When red blood cells break down under the eyes, they leave behind iron.

Iron is what makes your red blood cells look red.

And when iron is left behind in the skin under the eyes, it just sits there... making the skin under your eyes look dark red.

And as we age, more and more red blood cells break down under our eyes. Our skin can't clear away the red iron fast enough.

The result? A reddish darkness under eyes.

If you have dark bluish or blackish eye circles, you actually have both the reddish iron and the yellowish bilirubin under your eyes. These two waste colors, put together, leave dark blue or even black circles under your eyes.

Lastly, let's look at the third cause of dark circles under eyes:

The skin below the eye is the thinnest skin on our face.

And as we age, the skin under the eye can get even thinner.

As the skin under your eyes gets thinner, it's easier to see the waste pigments collecting under your eyes.

It's just like the difference between holding up a magazine to a light, versus holding up a piece of white paper. You can't see through the thick magazine - but everyone can see through the thin piece of paper.

The end result of aging? Dark red, yellow, blue, or black circles under eyes, because:

1. More reddish iron stays under your eyes.
2. More yellowish bilirubin collects under your eyes, too.
3. As the skin under your eyes gets thinner, it becomes easier to see the dark wastes under your eyes.

It's not enough to deal with only one of the causes.

Each of these causes works on its own to make your under-eye area dark.

To truly get rid of under eye dark circles,
you must deal with ALL THREE causes.
