Most of the time, the dark circles under the eyes are either caused by a lack of sleep, sinus/allergy inflammation, or poor nutrition. Covering the area with concealer works to hide it, but it doesn't help the problem, and if used daily, it can cause wrinkles to appear earlier than normal (concealer is thick and heavy on the skin). I have found that when I have these, using a witch hazel astringent compress for about 15 minutes helps. It is available at any grocery store, pharmacy, or large discount store (Wal-Mart) for about $2. I try to do this at least a couple of times a week to keep my eyes from looking tired, and it does help. Just take a cosmetic cotton pad, squirt the astringent on, lay it on your eyes (taking care not to get it in your eyes), and then lay back and relax for a little bit. It should do the trick! You may also want to get on a good multivitamin, get some rest, and if you have allergy problems, take whatever medication you would normally use for your allergies.

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.

Cover up!
I use any type of powdery, tube cover-up for my dark circles. It really helps too.

lots of rest, cut back on alchol and caffeine. plus use a cold mask or slices of cucumbers to help with the color and swelling
