Dark Circle Treatment | Get Rid Of Dark Circles Under Eyes

Dark circles appear under the eye owing to age, exhaustion, inadequate sleep, depression or anxiety, deficiency of vital nutrients in the diet, excessive exposure to direct sunlight, hyperpigmentation, and use of drugs. The skin around the eyes is extremely sensitive, and mostly with advancing age it tends to become thinner, as a result of which the veins underlying the skin begin to show and the eyes look puffy. But this condition can also occur in younger people due to the lifestyle imbalances mentioned above.

Home Remedies To Remove Dark Circles

There are a few simple home remedies to get rid of dark circles.

• Make a paste by mixing flour, chilled a few drops of chilled orange juice and a little honey and apply this under the eyes. Wash it off very gently after 15 minutes.


• You could also mix together tomato juice and lemon juice and apply this under the eyes twice a day.


• Applying cucumber juice with cotton wool also helps. You could also apply grated cucumber directly under your eyes or use frozen cucumber cubes to massage the skin under your eyes very gently. Following this procedure every day reduces dark circles visibly.
