Hi

You seem to be having peri orbital pigmentation .
Adequate sleep is the most important measure to prevent the progression of this pigmentation .
Also in some people this can be related to iron deficiency or they can also be genetic.
You should take adequate sleep.
Get a blood hemoglobin assessment done to rule out anemia.
Sometimes application of mild skin lightening agents like kojic acid can be useful.
Take a diet rich in fresh fruits and salads .

Hope it helps
