I am 35, I have started to notice that around my eyes are very pale. What can cause this?

The rest of my face is it's normal color. But, around my eyes, is just too light before I put on my makeup.

Update:

when I put on makeup, it covers it, but, I know it's there. I do wear glasses. I have been wearing them for years, I've never noticed it until now.

    Stress is probably the most common cause of what is happening to you. Buy a cucumber and slice it into round circle and put it on you face 10-15 minutes daily for a week or two. This is a stress reliever and the cucumber has helpful chemicals in it that will help get rid of it.

    Good Luck!!!

    First of all--- wish I had this problem! Mine are too dark. Seriously, do you wear glasses? This could be a reason, since your eyes are somewhat shaded from exposure. Also, the skin around the eyes is thinner, with less pigmentation of color. Nothing to worry about. Dona G.

    It's probably due to lack of sleep and/or nutrients. To restore your color, make sure you have lots of healthy foods and get a good nights sleep a week in a row. Also, it may be to a glasses tan, like I used to have. If you tan well, go outside and take of your glasses.

    you start to loose the amount of blood flow to your face as you get older also the skin around your eyes is 10 times thinner and more prone to damage because it is so thin. just like stretch marks they are more pale because there is less skin to keep the pigment.

    The lighter color under eyes is usually a sign or indication of lack of nutrients in your blood stream; I would consult your doctor.

    Stress or being tired. What have you been doing lately? Maybe you should use makeup that matches your skin to hide it.
