It could just be hereditary. I've always had dark circles under my eyes, and so do my sisters. Even when I'm fully rested, they are still there.
For some people the skin is just thinner there and it's not a matter of health or sleep.

There are many causes of dark circles, from age, heredity, allergies, cold or sinus infection, bone structure and glasses which are not so commonly known.

If you would like to apply home remedies to reduce dark circles, here are some of my suggestions:
Buy a box of regular, old fashioned unflavored gelatin (e.g. Knox) from grocery store. Take a small cup or bowl and put in 1 teaspoon of the gelatin mix. Add one tablespoon of boiling water & stir for a minute. Test it on your wrist to make sure it is not too hot. Then, using a cotton ball, pat it under your eyes as you would an eye cream or gel. Go lie down and listen to some music, or take a bath & let it stay on for at least 30 minutes. Then just rinse it off.Gelatin is very high in Vitamin K & Biotin. It will not remove your dark circles on the first application (but you will notice a difference), but if you do it daily for a week, and then 2-3 times a week for maintenance, you should notice a drastic reduction in dark circles.

It could be one of a few things...sleep is the most probably culprit, although it you have dark circles even when you're getting more than 6 hours sleep a night, you may have a low iron count. Pull down your lower eye lid and look at the inside of it...if it's pink/red your iron is probably ok, but if you have white spots on the inside of your lids, your iron is low! Taking a daily vitamin will help with this as well as the food you eat, green vegies and carrots are high in iron!

It could be because lack of sleep, there is some creme that you can purchase to reduce the puffiness or you could just try the old method the cucumber before bed over the eyes

Most likely you havent been getting enough sleep. I've had those recently myself because Ive been working everyday and goin to school for the past 2 weeks and I havent been sleeping much but after i got enough sleep they were gone...so my advice to you would be get some sleep and you should be O.K.

It could be allergies. I get plenty of sleep every night and I've had them my whole life. Get a good cream-based concealer and an eye gel (try oil of olay).

It's probably a hereditary problem.Tea bags placed on your eyes may help.Also you can buy masks that you chill in the fridge.
