Drink more of water everyday and massage your face with some effective cold cream. Then, you can also try applying a paste of turmeric powder with pineapple juice. Hope this helps.

hi virashri Try these simple home remedies for your dark under eye circles: *Drink at least ten glasses of water everyday. * Eight hours of sleep is a must for all of us, especially for people having dark circles under their eyes. * Close your eyes and cover your eyelids with slices of raw potato or cucumber for 15-20 minutes. *Grate a cucumber, squeeze to take out its juice and refrigerate. Make a mixture of lemon juice and cucumber juice and apply around the eye for 10-15 minutes. *Make a paste of grated cucumber,add it to fresh yoghurt and make an uniform paste.Apply it on the dark circles,keep it for 15 minutes and wash it off. *Apply a paste of turmeric powder with pineapple juice for dark circles under the eyes. *Applying crushed mint around the eye also helps. *You can also apply almond oil under eyes. hope u can get some relief wid these home remedies!!!

I have the same problem, and though a lot of products...especially cosmetics prpmised their consumers on giving that fress wide awake look, concealing those dark circles... I still prefer to go back to basics, that is, natural remedies. I guess one of the most common is putting cucumber slices on each eye, or putting refrigerated, cold spoons over the eye. this way, the eyes look refreshed because eye puffiness is lessened. We all know that eye puffiness can contribute to dark eye circles look. Another thing I've learned is, to dring more water. Sometimes, when we are dehydrated, the area around our eyes, becomes too dry, and gives the illusion of very dark circles. You can also cut down on salt...since this may also add up to that dehydrated look. However, if you still want quick results...then, a good concealer will do. I use one from Benefits cosmetics. And it did suit me. I advise you try some samples first, before buying. Especially because, a lot of concealing products only makes your dark circles more obvious rather than hiding them. Try choosing a shade that's a shade lighter than your natural skin. That way, it won't be that noticeable.

There are a lot of supposed remedies for undereye circles. It really depends on what kind of undereye circle you have. The mild kind can be fixed by getting enough sleep, nutrition, and taking care of the skin. Of course, you can't guarantee they'll go away each and every day; you will need makeup to cover it. You'll also notice your circles worsen when you are sick, cold, and a variety of other things. You can use brightening creams on the mild type of circles, and the ones that I've used work fairly well. The bad kind of circle is caused by leaking blood vessels. It happens all over your body, but it shows up strongly in the skin around the eye because of how thin the skin is there. This is a genetic condition and produces the worst circles. If you talk to a doctor, you can get a special eye cream meant to stop the leaking in a local area.

For dark circles, use under-eye creams that contain whitening formulas such as VAO-B complex, etc. It will also help a lot if you drink plenty of water and get atleast 8 hours of sleep. Also, don't stay in front of the TV or computer for a very long time.
