Home remedies to reduce dark circles
  • Dark circles occur due to an illness, allergy, over tiredness or excess weight loss. There are several home remedies which can cure them and make your skin under the eyes glow naturally.
  • Pound half a cucumber or tomato and extract its juice.


    Apply it under the eyes frequently during the day. You can also wash your eyes with it. Keep 1 slice of cucumber over each eye and lie down for sometime.


    Do this at least twice a day. Even grated cucumber can be placed over your eyes or gently massage your eyes with cucumber or tomato slices for 5 to 7 minutes three times daily. Squeeze out the juice of half a lemon and apply all over the area around your eyes. Lemon acts as a natural bleaching agent and will lighten the dark circles.
  • Apply vitamin E oil at night before going to sleep everyday.
  • Drink lots of water and frequently wash your eyes with cold water.
  • Crush some ice cubes and tie them in a soft muslin cloth. Cold compress your eyes with it regularly. This helps in contracting the blood vessels and whitening the tissues.
  • Get at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep and as far as possible do not take stress.
  • Keep away from such allergens as perfumes, dust, pollen grains, smoke or sprays if you are allergic to them.
