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.

you may not be able to get RID of them. If extra , consistent sleep doesn't do the trick then concealing them is the next best thing. I have the same problem that I have needed to conceal all my life. I have (bluish) veins that run very close to the skin surface in that area of my face so there are no "cures" that's just the way I am. I have done some reading and gone to a local pharmacy where they employ people who have attended school on beauty and they have steered me in the right direction for concealing the dark circles.

Some people have dark circles under their eyes no matter how much sleep they get--it's genetic. If you're one of those people, and more sleep doesn't help, then a good concealer is about all you can do.

Get a conceler or foundation that is ALITTLE bit lighter than your skin tone. Apply that directly under your eyes. It should take the darkness away.

Two ways. one is 2 freeze a spoon and place it on the dark spots. the other is to use liquid foundation and cover up.
