Dark circles are a serious problem that can make people at the prime of their age look older. This has an effect on your skin which is much bigger than the one wrinkles or grey hair create. Follow these simple remedies to get rid of dark circles and prevent them from occurring in the future.

CHAMOMILE OR GREEN TEA

Chamomile or Green Tea: Chamomile or Green Tea help in reducing the puffiness under the dark circles. Dab them on your dark circles using a small piece of cotton and let it dry for 15 minutes.

MINT

Mint: Mint leaves help in the overall brightening of your skin. Apply the mint juice to the affected area and rinse thoroughly after half an hour.

ROSEWATER

Rosewater: Rosewater gives your eyes a soothing feeling and refreshes your mood. It also tones down the color of your skin, back to the normal shade.

ALOE VERA

Aloe Vera: Not only does aloe vera gel soothe your skin, it also protects your skin from further damage.

POTATO

Potato: Potato has natural bleaching properties and helps in lightening dark circles. Apply a small amount of potato juice on the dark circles and leave it overnight for best results.

Apart from such treatment, the following lifestyle changes will also help in the fight against dark circles.

Remove Makeup Correctly

Spending time to remove your makeup is as important as spending the time to apply it. Do not go to sleep with your make up on at any cost. Use a professional makeup remover and make sure to remove your eyeliner or mascara off precisely.

SALT

Increased salt intake leads to puffing eyes. Keep your salt intake in check.

STRESS

Increased levels of stress releases a steroid hormone called Cortisol in your body. Cortisol increases your blood volume, in turn leading to puffiness under your eyes.

SMOKING & ALCOHOL

Limiting cigarettes & alcohol, while keeping your body hydrated at all times is very important in protecting your skin.

SUNLIGHT

Protecting your skin from too much direct sunlight is very important. The ultraviolet rays from the sunlight lead to the breaking down of protein from your skin and causes damage.
