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've heard you can use Preparation H cream, I think about 10 min should be enough, then wipe it off and wash your face... I don't know from personal experience though...
Cucumbers, you can grate them and freeze them, then rub the grated part around your eyes for about 5 min...
OR...
juice the cucumber and soak cotton balls in the juice and place them on your eyes for 15 min.
That WILL help... I've done that.

Answer 3

If they are genetic you can only soften them with a high emollient moisturizer or a skin lightener containing a moisturizer that can be used around the eyes (be careful). If they are not genetic---"Quality" sleep, plenty of water, and a healthy diet.

Answer 4

-Sleep
-Warm tea bags under your eyes
-Cucumbers [cold]
-Hot, steamy shower
-Or it could be in your genes
-Lightly moisturize the thin skin under your eyes [with Aveeno preferably] =)
Hope that helps!
