How to Get Rid of Dark Circles

[max_spy]

The skin around your eyes is very delicate. It lacks oil glands and is much and is thinner than most other areas of the face. It requires special care as it reflects neglect, ageing, stress and general health. Besides lack of sleep, illness, anxiety and nutritional deficiencies, dark circles can also be caused due to hereditary factors.

Men and women can develop dark circles at an early age, like adolescence or early twenties, though it is more common in older people.

Watch your diet

One way to prevent dark circles is to make sure that you consume a nutritious and balanced diet, including fresh fruits, salads, skimmed milk, yogurt, lentils and beans. Some daily exercise, along with deep breathing, helps better blood circulation, oxygenation and control of stress. Adequate sleep and relaxation are vert important.

Daily Skincare

The area around the eyes should be included in daily skin care. Use extremely gentle movements while removing makeup or applying creams on the area. To avoid pulling or stretching the sensitive skin, avoid massaging it yourself. Get a professional facial so that correct techniques are employed.

Remove makeup using a cleansing gel on moist cotton wool. Late, apply a specially-formulated cream of light consistency on the area. The cream should be removed with moist cotton wool after 10 minutes. Never leave it overnight. Normal facial masks should not be applied around the eyes.

Get your beauty sleep

Regular sleep and rest are necessary to relieve the strain on the eyes. Anyone who spends long hours reading or working on a computer should take time off, periodically, to rest the eyes by closing them for a few minutes.

Eye fatigue can also be relieved with washing. Splash your eyes with water and notice that you feel better immediately. In fact, contrast washing works even better. Wash your eyes with warm water and follow it up with a splash of cold water. This improves blood circulation to the eyes and soothes them. It also cleanses the yes and relieves congestion.

Here are some home remedies that can be used to minimize dark circles, brighten the eyes and reduce fatigue:

1.Cucumber juice is a common home remedy. It should be applied around eyes daily and washed off with plain water after 15 minutes.

2. Mixing potato juice with cucumber juice in equal quantities helps if there is puffiness along the dark circles.

3. Dark circles can also be treated by mixing cucumber juice with lemon juice in equal quantities. Apply daily and wash off with warm water after 15 minutes. Tomato juice is also said to lighten skin color.

4. Consult your doctor about daily exercises. Include deep breathing exercises in your routine workout. This helps in counteracting stress and also oxygenates the body.

5. Along with external care and a healthy lifestyle, take time off for relaxation, using eye pads. Take cotton wool and two thicker square pads. They can be soaked in cucumber juice or rosewater. Lie down, close your eyes and put that soaked pads on your eyes. Keep them on for about 15 minutes. Used tea bags can also be substituted foe eye pads. Applying a compress of iced water or cold milk directly over closed eyelids for 15 to 20 minutes also helps.

Great myTake!!! I will apply all of these so I can get rid of my horrible dark rings lmao. But I have a few questions;
1- How often should I apply the homemade remedies? Is applying just once enough, or should I apply them regularly for a period?
2- I am using a "stop puffy eyes" cream and it says "massage your eye area" with that cream. How can I apply it If massaging under eye area is harmful?

Thank you! :)
1. Regularly, just once a day. You'll see the difference in a week or so. Stop it when you see no dark circles or you can continue doing it once in a while to keep your eyes bright.
2. Do it soft and gentle. Don't rub, it may harm your skin. The area around your eyes are delicate. Or get a masseuse, you can learn from them. YouTube helps too XD

Thanks for the help pal 😊

I will try to get more sleep and improve my nutrition.
Either way, the more I sleep the better I feel so this is obviously a plus either way.

@max_spy Thanks man

Unfortunately I've tried just about every method under the sun to get rid of my dark circles, and nothing has worked. Sometimes it really just is because of your genes, a combination of both pale and thin skin under the eyes (= the veins "pop" and become more noticeable).

[Anonymous]

Nope, none of this works. I've spent my entire lifetime "looking for a cure," and spending so so sooo much money on this and that product, and hitting up and making and using every DIY pinterest homemade under eye cream there is. I also only drink water and routinely get 8 hours of sleep, and exercise regularly...

... for some people it is just genetics. Most of my family has dark under eye circles. I hate when people make suggestions to me, like, you know if you only get more sleep it will cure you. UGH! I just accept it as a part of me now, thank goodness, and wear concealer so it won't make me look like someone who doesn't get enough sleep.

[Listening5]

Do u actually get good sleep?
Do u have any health problems in general?

[Opinion Owner]

@Listening5 Yes. I worked very hard to get myself to a place where I get good sleep because I struggled to get 8+ hours before I knew I had to take it seriously. Otherwise I'm healthy. I know you're probably trying to say, once again, like every other magazine and person with "a cure", oh it's something you're doing or not doing, but you can pop open the photo album... I've had dark circles since I was a kid, as have other family members. IT IS GENETIC.

[Listening5]

Nah I wasn't gonna say that, but how did u get to a point where u could get 8 hours of sleep, Im working on that right now.

[Opinion Owner]

@Listening5 My routine is, I have to shut down and off all electronics/work stuff an hour before sleep. I took my tv out of my bedroom long ago so that it is just a place for only two activities.. sleep and well :). I grab a very small snack like a few nuts. I dim all the lights and close my blackout curtains which make the room pitch black when the lights are totally off, and then I get in bed, read a bit or write and at my usual time, I go to sleep. If I do happen to wake in the middle of the night, I don't get up or turn on the lights to avoid creating any habits or routines of it. It took about 2 full weeks of this, a lot of false starts, and tossing and turning, to really get to a point where my body was like, okay, it's time to go to sleep at this time, but it worked. I've never been a coffee drinker, so it's great to be able to wake up, and feel totally refreshed. I also take a 20 nap on my lunch break sometimes to clear work fog.

[Listening5]

Hey thank you for sharing this, it really helps. Last night I didn't go to sleep till 3 because I just couldnt relax so I couldnt sleep. Most important of all I see you said it took you two weeks of this, so I'll have to be patient. :)

[Opinion Owner]

@Listening5 A lot of people are suffering from sleep deprivation, but just never seem to correlate it to things like how it affects their mood, their health, their weight, etc. They just think "this is normal," and it's not. We need sleep, and it was well worth fighting for those 2 weeks of restlessness and feeling like I need to do this and that and finish that, to get to a place where sleep is restful and enjoyable and something I look forward to at the end of a long day.

[Listening5]

Yea a lot of people ignore it, sure one can only go so long doing this until you see how it has affected you. Got some good sleep today, got up at 130pm, why dont u go ahead and add me. I would like to see more advice and opinions from you.

[pmmeagain_maac98]

it depends if ur talking about dark circles or tear trough deformity. dark circles doesn't need that effort, its a scam, just sleep and diet and they will go away in a couple weeks. Tear trough deformity is an issue of either lack of soft tissue or infraorbital bone support. for that the solution is infraorbital rim implants or get fat grafts (permanent)/ filler (temporary). I personally will get fat grafts when i am 24

For those who have this Problem, use some Cover Stick Concealer, which will Lick the Problem when going Out and About.
However, using Vaseline with Cocoa butter, as Another of Your daily Routine, will also Help this Here, dear.
Good Luck and Nice going on your Own with this One, hun. xx
