Dark circles home treatment Dark circles under the eyes are basically due to the blood vessels in this area being unusually prominent and blood pooling here. To some extent dark circles may be hereditary or due to age, but there are almost always other factors as well, such as lack of sleep, nutritional problems, anemia, and general poor health. It is therefore important to address these problems in order to get rid of the dark circles.
Home remedies will help too, but if the underlying problem is not addressed, the home remedies will not have much success. In particular, make sure that you get at least eight hours of sleep a night and that your diet contains all the necessary vitamins and minerals.
As far as home remedies go, the classic remedy of placing cucumber slices on the eyes is quite effective, although only temporarily.
The cooling effect of the cucumber is quite soothing in addition to helping constrict the blood vessels. Cool, wet tea bags have a similar effect, and can be used instead or alternated between. As mentioned before, this is a problem with blood circulation rather than skin pigmentation. You can also massage the under eye area using almond oil or vitamin E oil.
