Why do we get dark circles under our eyes? #shorts #science

The video discusses the causes of dark circles under the eyes, including genetic factors, tiredness, and allergies. It explains how genetics can lead to naturally darker under-eye areas or thinner skin, making blood vessels more visible. Tiredness can cause people to rub their eyes, leading to burst blood vessels and darkening. Allergies can trigger an immune response, causing puffiness and shadows. To achieve brighter eyes, the video suggests reducing face touching, getting more sleep, and limiting phone use.
