Drink at least ten glasses of water everyday.

Dark Circles under eye are generally due to a lack of sleep, fatigue, stress, deficiency or some disease. Take all precautions to avoid strain on the eyes.

Eight hours of sleep is a must for all of us, specially for people having dark circles under their eyes.

Close your eyes and cover eyelids with slices of raw potato or cucumber for 15-20 minutes. Wash with warm water and apply a cream.

Grate a cucumber, squeeze to take out its juice and refrigerate. Make a mixture of lepiece in a 1:1 mixture of potato and cucumber juices. Put the cotton on your eyelids and keep for 20 minutes. Wash your eyes with cold water.

Apply a mixture of lemon and tomato juice (equal parts) on the black circles 2 times a day.

Apply a paste of turmeric powder with pineapple juice for dark circles under the eyes.


Apply crushed mint around the eye.

Massage with almond oil under and around eyes at bed time daily for 2 weeks and see the improvement. Almond helps to remove dark circles, and is an excellent "skin food".

Remove the cream applied around the eye after 10 min. No cream should be left on the skin around the eyes for long periods.

Rub the area with a powdered Vitamin E capsule and wipe off with a mixture of honey and egg white.

Put hot and cold clothes alternatively under eyes for 10 minutes. Then apply some almond oil on the dark surface before going to bed.

The acuupressure point for eyes is on the mount below the index finger of your palms. Pressing this mount may help.

There really is no way to eliminate dark undereye circles. Most of the time, they are genetic and, unfortunately, permanent. They can be minimized, however. Cooling eye masks, undereye gels, cucumber slices...all of these things will elimiate PUFFINESS, which makes eyes looks more tired and will accentuate the darkness.

As far as covering up the circles, the only thing that will really do it is a good concealer. Of course, she will have to have a good color match for her complexion, but ones that I have used (I have this problem also) is the IT stick by Benefit cosmetics, and MAC concealer (it is also stick shaped).

Keep the puffiness under control and be diligent about concealer every day, and her self esteem should go up ;O)

Hi, You could ask your Mom to check out a product from a company called Arbonne. I have been using a corrective eye cream from them and after about a couple of weeks of use my dark circles were really faded and now after 3 months they are gone. I have been having people asking me what I have done. It really is a great product. I have had dark circles all my life. I am 51y/o. Your Mom can go to http://www.wonderful.myarbonne.com to check it out in their online catalog. Good luck to you and your sister.
