Remedies for dark circles 

Working long hours, lack of sleep or even a deficiency in your diet can cause the formation of dark circles under your eyes. Sometimes any stress that you are suffering form can also result in the formation of dark circles. However sometimes these circles are also indicative of some other disorder and so, if your dark circles are accompanied by other symptoms, and if they refuse to clear for some time, then you should visit the doctor.




Using cucumber is a well-known and time tested remedy. This is easy because all you need to do is peel the cucumber, chop off two circles and apply these on the eyes. Then sit back and relax till it is time to remove the cucumber.


Raw potato is also considered a useful vegetable to treat dark circles. You can peel a potato and use a round slice of potato on your eyes.  Or else you can grate the potato and tie this up in a clean cloth. Hold this on your eyes. You can also extract the juice of a cucumber and use clean cotton swabs to apply this under your eyes. Almond oil can also be applied on the dark circles, at bedtime and left there overnight.
