7. Age

Older people tend to have larger and more noticeable dark circles under their eyes; the natural loss of collagen causes the skin to become thinner and slightly transparent. As a result, eye rubbing or touching is more likely to break blood vessels. Prominent skin folds or wrinkles can also make dark circles under the eyes more visible.
