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.

Follow this advice and be honest;
Never rub your eyes as its the delicate skin around the eyes and have to be treated with care
Keep a cucumber slice to cool the skin and eyes
Buy La Praire or Elizabeth Arden under eye cream and pamper yourself
Never sleep too late or miss out on sleep unless very necessary
Always drink 3 bottles of water 1 litre or more
Eat vegetables and fruits and nice anti oxidants
Drink a glass of wine every week once
Be happy with whatever you do and laugh often
Go to the skin doctor and have him check up on you as well
You will have all your circles disappear for good. As a model I can vouch you will surely be alright soon. Bye

Almost everyone gets dark circles under their eyes from time to time. Dark circles under eyes usually are temporary and not a medical concern.
You may be surprised to learn that fatigue usually isn't the cause of dark circles. Instead, the most common cause is nasal congestion. When your nose is congested, veins that usually drain from your eyes into your nose become widened (dilated) and darker.

actually rubbing do not effect much on ur eyes, but surely avoid doing so.
use cucumber on your eyes. just cut it into slices and put on your eyes for sometime. use rose water also.
eat good and balanced diet like fruits and juices.
now a days, creams are also there for the same purpose.
good luck

dark circles around your eyes are associated with a deficiency in vitamin K. So take vitamins that have vit K. You can also get creams that contain vit k in them and apply them directly to your skin.

get a good fade cream/gel made especially for undereyes. also carrot seed oil extract is a good choice but must diluted with another carrier oil. look on ebay for undereye fade cream and see what you come up with. take care.
