What can i do to get rid of the dark circles under my eyes??


Question: i dont want to cover them up with makeup and i know sleep helps but i get more than enough sleep. im just looking for something possibly easy that can fix it.
Answers: Ditch the Dark Circles
Before you go to bed, peel and slice a potato. Close your eyes and cover your eyelids with slices of raw potato, using a bandanna to secure the potatoes while you sleep. Do this three times a week. You should start to see gradual improvement.
How it works: The potatoes have the same enzyme used in expensive cosmetic creams to lighten the skin.

You can also mix equal portions of almond oil and honey and massage the mixture into the dark circles around your eyes before going to bed. Wash it off in the morning.
How it works: The honey acts as a moisturizer. The oil gently exfoliates, stimulating the skin cells around the eyes. This tightens and eventually lightens loose skin around the eyes. It has the dual effect of getting rid of wrinkles around the eyes, too.
Not an overnight cure, but their are lots of products on the market that is suppose to help lighten them. I personally think that a well balanced diet or vitamin supplements help. Your body is lacking something and that is what is causing the dark circles. Find a supplement that offers nucleic acids that is the best for your skin, also vitamin E and A will help.
Well before I go to work sometimes, I wet two tea bags and put them over my eyes for 15 mins or 30 mins if I have time. For some reason it opens them right up, tones and gets rid of most of the dark circles or all of them some days!
do you have these all the time, or just sometimes?
first, you cover them with pig ointment. Then, you slabber them in honey, cooked at a temperature of 93 degrees celcius. Works like a charm. go pitbulls!
Dark circles can be caused by different things like lack of sleep, stress etc. They can also be caused by allergies. My daughter had this problem and after we discovered what she was allergic to and got her some medication for it, it seemed to help.
There are many causes of dark circles, from age, heredity, allergies, cold or sinus infection, bone structure and glasses which are not so commonly known.

If you would like to apply home remedies to reduce dark circles, here are some of my suggestions:
Buy a box of regular, old fashioned unflavored gelatin (e.g. Knox) from grocery store. Take a small cup or bowl and put in 1 teaspoon of the gelatin mix. Add one tablespoon of boiling water & stir for a minute. Test it on your wrist to make sure it is not too hot. Then, using a cotton ball, pat it under your eyes as you would an eye cream or gel. Go lie down and listen to some music, or take a bath & let it stay on for at least 30 minutes. Then just rinse it off.Gelatin is very high in Vitamin K & Biotin. It will not remove your dark circles on the first application (but you will notice a difference), but if you do it daily for a week, and then 2-3 times a week for maintenance, you should notice a drastic reduction in dark circles.
