Remedies for dark circles
Dark circles are a result of straining the eyes excessively. A few reasons for this could be reading in poor light, reading while lying down, lack of sleep and adequate rest, tension or stress of any kind. The first thing you can do is determine which reasons apply to you and eliminate them.
This will be the beginning of the end of your dark circles. One of the oldest and most effective home remedies for dark circles is to apply iodine tincture to them. This will reduce them, although this takes a long time. Application of a pulp of tomato with a few drops of lemon juice added to it will also help in reducing the darkness of skin as both these products are natural bleaches. Do remember to apply sunscreen before going out if you follow this remedy. Another effective way to moisturize dark skin and make it more supple and easy to maintain is to apply milk cream to it. You can also add a couple of drops of castor oil or almond oil to the cream; this will help in making the skin soft as well. Crushed cucumber or potatoes can be juiced and applied underneath the eyes. You must also make it a point to drink lots of water in order to keep your skin looking fresh and supple.
