  • Dark circles could be lightened by placing a chilled raw slice of potato on your eyelids. Relax for 15 to 20 minutes before removing the potato slices. Continue this treatment everyday; you will certainly see a difference in a few days.
  • Cucumber juice is also useful to lighten dark circles. Dip cotton balls in cucumber juice and place them on your eyelids for few minutes.
  • Make mixture of almond and saffron oil and massage it around the eyes everyday for two weeks before bedtime, this helps to get rid of dark circles.

The brown spots on your cheeks could be anything such as freckles, moles or tinea versicolor. Firstly it’s necessary for you to identify them, which can be easily done by a skin specialist. If the spots are moles, here is a useful remedy - make a paste of castor oil and baking soda and apply it over the mole with help of a gauze. Tape the gauze and leave it overnight.
