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.

Answer 2

depending on your ethnicity it may be hereditary and in your culture. If not that, then it may be because your not getting enough sleep, you can also be stressed, or if you wear make-up especially eye make-up and don't remove it before going to sleep, that will really cause them. My friend is a cosmetologist and she said leaving make-up on will make your dark circles appear and make them age faster and one more thing is poor nutrition. So your options are pretty much: A) Get more sleep and rest well. B) Make sure to always remove make-up/ Wash face well before going to sleep. C) Eat more nutritous foods, especially fruits (Apples are very good). D) Moisturize the areas around your eyes and sometimes the cucumbers on them may help too!

Oh and I agree with the answer above me too! That's another thing you can try. Sometimes AVON will have some creams for that too!

Answer 3

DermaBlend Make-up - you just need a touch and it will hide the dark circles. It is a bit expensive, but you only need a really small amount so it will last for a long time. I know lemon juice gets rid of dark spots on your hands but unfortunately you cannot use lemons close to your eyes, so I would stick with the dermablend! Good luck.

Answer 4

If you're antything like me - You don't get rid of them - Mine are genetic - all the women in my family have dark circles that do not go away - I get solid sleep and am really healthy - have tried a number of "remedies", but I"m just stcuk with 'em - Get a good concealer !

Answer 5

In cosmetic departments, you can find vitamin K lotions specifically for dark circles and bruises and other blood related discolorations. It works well. Vitamin K will not address puffiness, though, or sagging, only the dark discoloration.

Answer 6

Sleep facilitates, get everyday sleep. Cucumber slices over the eyes, in simple terms left there for a on a similar time as, is meant to help (never tried it, yet seen it- I luggage under my eyes).

Answer 7

try applyin' light coloured concealers, or use cucumbers or use cold used tea bags, put either the cucumbers or the tea bags like 8-15 minutes while restin/sleepin'. anythin' cold & moisturisin will do the trick...good luck!
