Dark circles under the eyes tend to age your appearance more than wrinkles or grey hair.However, you are not stuck with these features permanently; you can still reduce the appearance of dark circles under your eyes and in some cases remove them completely. See Step 1 and beyond for more information.
Step 1
Use cucumber slices. Cucumber slices have long been used to reduce puffiness and refresh the appearance of skin around the eyes, providing a fast "pick-me-up" for tired and puffy eyes. Place a slice over each eye, extending over the darkened area. Do this daily, coupled with lying down for 10-15 minutes. Keep your eyes closed.
Keeping cucumber slices in the refrigerator before applying on your skin could be more beneficial in reducing dark circles due to the cooling properties of these items, which work in a method similar to a cold compress.
Step 2
Apply cool tea bags or an ice cube wrapped in soft cloth to your eyes daily. The tannin in tea bags reduces swelling and discoloration. Lie down, preferably in the morning, and leave the cool and damp caffeinated tea bags over your eyes for about 10 to 15 minutes. Keep your eyes closed. You can refrigerate them overnight so they will be ready in the morning.
Step 3
Make a saline solution. Add 2 cups of water with a 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt and/or a half teaspoon of baking soda in one of your nostrils. Have your head tilted to the side so that the water comes out the other nostril. It's best used when you're experiencing nasal congestion.
Step 4
Use a potato. Place one uncooked potato into a liquidizer and liquidize the whole potato. Scoop out and place the pureed potato on your closed eyelids. Keep it there for 30 minutes while lying on your back, then wash it off with warm water. This method works well for some people.
Step 5
Use a frozen spoon. Put a spoon in the freezer overnight. Take it out in morning and cover the circles with it. Hold it there until the spoon is warm again.
Step 6
Apply almond oil on the dark circles. The vitamin E from this oil helps neutralize dark circles under eyes and makes your periorbital skin look bright and young.
Applying almond oil can reduce dark circles gradually but you can speed up the process by applying it before sleep to let the Vitamin E work overnight on your skin.
Step 7
Regularly undergo meditation and perform some exercise. Dark circles can be an outcome of the stress in your day-to-day life. Thus, getting rid of unwanted tension and stress can subsequently help you get rid of the dark circles.
Step 8
Do a skin patch test. Before trying any cosmetics, do a skin patch test first. Some cosmetics may cause an allergic reaction, and make the dark circles under your eyes worse. Cease using anything that irritates your skin, causes rashes or makes your eyes sore or watery.
Step 9
Apply an eye cream containing vitamin K and retinol. Dark circles may be caused by a deficiency of vitamin K. Regardless of the cause, however, skin creams containing these two ingredients reduce puffiness and discoloration significantly in many people. Long-term daily use seems to have the greatest effect.
Step 10
Use a peach or orange-tinted concealer to balance out the blue or purple tones in your under-eye circles. Choose a peach or orange-tinted concealer that is 1 to 2 shades darker than your skin tone, and apply it in an upside-down triangle shape with your ring finger. Be sure to extend it towards the tops of your cheekbones. Gently pat on your foundation over it.
