Dark Eye Circles.

Hi everyone. I was wondering if there's any home remedies that can help reduce the darkness of under your eyes. Mine aren't puffy, there just dark. Any help is appreciated. <3

Chamomile tea bags may help. Chamomile is purifying and has a lightening affect on skin. If you decide to try that, let the tea bags cool off to the point of being cold for a cooling and refreshing feeling. Then put them over your eyes for 15 minutes.

I've also heard of people using raw potato slices on their eyes. And of course cucumbers.

If all else fails, concealer can cover the darkness. Especially yellow concealer. Use your finger to dab a yellow-based concealer directly to dark areas, blending well. Yellow counteracts the bluish tone of circles. Try: Physicians's Formula Magic Cube Concealer. Dust with translucent powder to set.

Also kiwi slices work well. cover your eyes and keep them on for 10-15 min.

I've heard that heamarroid (sp) creams are good for this sort of thing- but I dont know if that is for bags or dark circles. In the mean time, I would use concealer- liquid ones are best for under eyes. Dot it on and blend with your ring finger-- it has the lightest touch.

Try to use some eyecream special for dark eye circles, together with eye massage. Massage is the most important thing, be gentle. And what's more, I'll do sit-up before going to bed. A few sit-up can help the bloood run, thus it can also reduce your darkness. have a try.

Hemarroid creams are for reducing the puffiness.

Yeah, blood circulation is key in reducing the dark circles. Try using Vitamin C and Ginseng to stimulate the blood flow in that area.

Ah, dark circles. I have incredibly pale skin, so without my glasses they're really noticable. Actually, I just got new glasses that are a bit bolder and draw more attention to my eyes, so you can see them more!
I'm going to try those potatoe slices, my concealer isn't doing the greatest job anymore. XD

cucumber slices really help if you use daily.
