Ladies,

I was wondering if you would have any suggestions for dark circles under and over the eyes. I have slight bags under my eyes but the area directly above my eyelid is so dark! I just dont understand. What can I do to get rid of this or at least lighten it?

Any and all suggestions/ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

For dark circles you can try these home remedies

Close your eyes and cover eyelids with slices of raw potato or cucumber for 15-20 minutes

Apply a mixture of lemon and tomato juice (equal parts) on the dark circles 2 times a day.

Apply a paste of turmeric powder with pineapple juice for dark circles under the eyes

Crush some mint and apply it around the eye

For puffiness

Raise the head of your bed at night. This helps prevent fluids from accumulating around your eyes as you sleep.

Apply vitamin E or olive oil.

QUESTION: Are there any effective remedies against dark circles under the eyes? I was not born with them they appeared a couple of years ago for no apparent reason.
Thank you.

ANSWER: Unfortunately, dark haloes under the eyes can not be treated with any skin lightening creams. Some therapies in the market promising cure, will only induce mild improvement, but nothing else will help, nothing is really effective. However, oral intake of iron for some time will improve the condition.

^ Even chilled teabags work! And if u're consistent with the remedies they do work.. potato slices, and vitamin E oil work as well.

Well if u're low on iron u're bound to have dark-circles so treat urself from within. Several girls have tried the chilled tea-bags and potato slices and they have worked, as I said u have to be regular u won't see results in 2 tries..

Question for you Gina and Adrasteia:

Isnt lemon juice too acidic for the eye area? Is that why we are mixing with tomato juice?

How are u supposed to use vitamin E oil? Dab it on twice a day??

Also does it work by itself or should one use other remedies along with it
like tea bags/potato slices etc?

sajal

your custom title may be the reason.
not getting enough sleep contributes heavily to dark circles
others have alredy talk about mineral definciencies
one more thing is allergies and congestion
many ppl dont realize that sinus and nasal congestion does a number on your eye area.

as far as treatments go, look up hylexin, works wonders

You can go to an Aveda salon where they perform an eye brightening treatment. It softens wrinkles and helps with dark circles.
They also offer products which contain a pigment suppressant (the only chemical inside that has been ok'ed by the FDA what we use for hyperpigmentation), which DO work.

Go to an Aveda salon and ask about these procedures. They're not extremely cheap, and you need several treatments, but they do help.
