1 Ageing makes skin lose collagen & hence thinner. Collagen loss is most noticeable under the eyes.

2 Unhealthy weight loss. Dramatic weight loss can make under eyes look visibly hollow.

3 Dehydration. Poor water intake, too much coffee, packaged drinks, soda etc.

4 Allergies or Sinus Infections can cause dark circles to form & eyes to sink.

5 Genetics. If other family members also have hollow eyes, it could just be genetic.

6 Sleep Issues. Poor quality sleep or not getting enough sleep takes a direct toll on eyes.

7 Smoking degrades collagen & causes skin to loose elasticity.

Ways to ease sunken eyes at home;

- Have a fixed sleep schedule & get enough sleep consistently.
- Invest in a moisturizing eye cream & apply an SPF daily.
- Always apply an eye cream before makeup to keep your eyes hydrated.
- Drink Sufficient Water. Avoid excess coffee & tea.
- ⁠Eat a balanced diet - rich in dark green leafy vegetables
