Dark circles on Indian skin: pigmentation, vascular, or fatigue?
Most dark circles on Indian skin are pigmentation-driven — not lack of sleep. The fix depends on the type.
Three types: pigmented (brown, common in Indian skin), vascular (blue/purple, thin skin showing blood vessels), structural (shadow from hollows). Stretch the skin gently — if it lightens, it's pigmented.
Pigmented circles: vitamin C eye serum + SPF + caffeine. Vascular: caffeine + retinol to thicken skin. Structural: only fillers fix this.
