Allergies may be the most common cause of skin discoloration under the eyes. Seasonal allergy problems such as the hay fever can frequently be effectively treated with over-the-counter and prescription medications. If your dark circles or puffiness are constant, you may have an undetected food allergy or an allergy to a chemical in your home or workplace. A common allergy that causes dark circles is gluten. This is mainly an allergy to wheat flour. |

Lack of sleep tends to cause the skin to become paler (thus increasing the appearance of darkness under the eyes), and it reduces circulation. A lack of sleep, coupled with poor vitamin absorption also tends to reduce adrenal function and end up in a vicious circle. You need to reduce your stress, sleep more and take the proper vitamins and minerals to support the adrenal function in general. |

Usually rubbing of the eyes is brought on by allergies, but not always. The rubbing irritates the skin and can break tiny capillaries beneath the skin, causing both puffiness and discolouration. |
