Dark Circles under your eyes are usually caused by Allergies. Taking an allergy medicine like Claritin might help depending on how severe your allergies are. If that doesn't help you might want to see you PCP and ask for help

There are many causes of dark circles, from age, heredity, allergies, cold or sinus infection, bone structure and glasses which are not so commonly known.

If you would like to apply home remedies to reduce dark circles, here are some of my suggestions:
Buy a box of regular, old fashioned unflavored gelatin (e.g. Knox) from grocery store. Take a small cup or bowl and put in 1 teaspoon of the gelatin mix. Add one tablespoon of boiling water & stir for a minute. Test it on your wrist to make sure it is not too hot. Then, using a cotton ball, pat it under your eyes as you would an eye cream or gel. Go lie down and listen to some music, or take a bath & let it stay on for at least 30 minutes. Then just rinse it off.Gelatin is very high in Vitamin K & Biotin. It will not remove your dark circles on the first application (but you will notice a difference), but if you do it daily for a week, and then 2-3 times a week for maintenance, you should notice a drastic reduction in dark circles.

Do you get enough sleep? The spoon option is a good one.
Mary Kay has a facial highlighting pen that is reasonably priced. I use it under my eyes on the days when I have dark circles. Its wonderful! People couldn't figure out what was so different about me until I told them about the pen. Its like a super charged concealer. Try it!

Homemade way: get two spoons and put them in the freezer, once they're nice and cold put them directly under your eyes until you cant feel the coldness anymore, repeat for as many times as it takes.
-or-
go to your doctor to get it checked out and see what they say, they probably have something better
