Treatment for Dark Under Eye Circles

Lifestyle Relationships

Grated potatoes can lighten under-eye circles. Potatoes contain an enzyme called catecholase, which is used in cosmetics as a human skin lightener.

Run one spud through your food processor and stuff the raw mash into a piece of cheesecloth.
Apply to the area directly beneath your eye — don’t let the potato juice come in contact with the eye itself — and leave for 15 to 20 minutes.
Wipe away the starchy residue

Did you try it yourself? Or anybody else? Does it really work?

3

yeah try it they will get more darker :D

Proper sleep and rest works wonders on the face!

I use Clinique eye cream. I've heard of many natural and herbal remedies, but they don't seem too promising. Some dark circles are just genetic. If there's not enough fat there under the skin, then there's nothing you can do about it except use concealer.

well the dark circles also depend upon the structure of the bone on your face .

I heared about cucumber juice but never used. So can't say it works or not.

ok... i think the topic arises every few months. Ive tried the clinique all about eyes stuff... it works for about 2 weeks and then its back to dark circles

best thing is to drink water, milk and get proper sleep.... too much sleep can also cause dark circles... and yeah it may be hereditary (like mine)

Yeah, Clinique stuff isn't good. I mean, I was all hyped up about it for a few weeks and then I saw it was doing nothing in the long term.

What I ended up doing was:

  1. Getting proper sleep; and
  2. Investing in a really good eye mask from The Body Shop. You basically stick it in the freezer for half an hour and then put it on. It helps relaxes your eyes and takes away puffiness. I only use that when my allergies are bothering me cause it helps relieve tension in my head and is really relaxing.

has that helped with the circles mehnaz?? i may get that...

at the moment im just sticking to MAC's concealer for the eyes..

when i went away for the weekend, my circles had totally gone! fresh air is what i needed i think... and less stress

The eye mask certainly helps relax and if you do have really puffy eyes, it does take away some of the puffiness. The main cure is to just relax, stress less and get enough sleep.

round slices of cucumber placed on the eye lids for 10+ mins help + getting 8 hours a day sleep max'

I have also heard that putting cold used teabags on the eyelids may help. Haven't tried it tough...
