Take slices of cucumber and place it on your eyes and rest for a while may be 10 minutes would help to reduce the stress and relax your eyes

Try using the potato (shredded) to place it around the eyes would help reduce black circles

***
For dark circles around your eyes :
If the potatoes and cucumber didnt help , try using Almond paste - soak two almonds in water for about 2 - hours and then grind them with milk well and apply them around your eyes do it three times a week to get the best results. Do it atleast a month before you can see any results.
Also sleep well and apply 1 tsp of olive oil everynight just before you sleep , this will help if done regularly

If this is gentec because of having thin skin under your eyes- find a concealer that is a shade lighter than whatever foundation you use. Apply this b4 applying your foundation! GOOD LUCK!

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.

I have the same problem. The skin under your eye is delicate and thin. The thing that makes your dark circles are the visible veins. Try wetting a wash cloth with cold water and laying it across your eyes. It tightens up the skin and it makes the dark cirlces less visible.

There can many reasons responsible for dark circles. Lack of

sleep,continuous illness, lack of water intake, build-up of toxins,

excessive smoking, stress, alcohol and insufficient diet.

Dark circles can be depressing as they can make the most

stunning people look haggard and much older than their age.

Dark circles can treated with regular and gentle care, here are a

few simple home remedies.

1. Water intake is very important as it helps to flush out the toxin

build-up.

2. Massage the area with pure almond oil.

3. Apply cold raw grated potato mixed with the juice of half lemon

around the eye area. Leave on for about 20 minutes and wash off

with cold milk.

4. Slices of cool cucumber are also very good as they not only

soothe tired eyes but also have a natural bleaching effect on that

area.

5. 2 teaspoons almonds ground to a fine paste and mixed with 10

drops of lemon juice can be applied to the skin around the eyes.

6. Cover your eyes with cotton soaked in luke warm milk for 15

minutes everyday to remove the dark circles around your eyes.

7. Cut 2 slices of apple and keep them on your closed eyelids for

about10 minutes.

8. Dip cotton pads into freshly extracted mint juice, flatten them

and place them on closed eyelids for 10 to 15 minutes.

9. Apply 1/2 a teaspoon of almond oil with 1/4 teaspoon of lemon

juice.

me too, even though its genetic it could be enhanced by allergies. i started taking allergy medicine and it helped alot, also allergy medicine in the form of nasal spray is really good bc that goes straight to the sinus area under your eyes

they may not completely go away but some tips are:
yellow concealer [really works]
raw potatoe slices
cold spoons [both dont work too well]
tea bags [never tried]

good luck =D

Revlon "New complexion" I swear by it! I have a deep scar on my chin that is very embarassing and I have tried it all for the past 15 years and I know this is the best stuff for me! Find it at any CVS. Good luck!

Do you have a fair complexion? I get those too so I sometimes go tanning to darken the rest of my skin a bit so that they're not visible.
