    Lack of sleep or hormonal changes, talk with your doctor.....

    Dark circles under the eyes are a common complaint. They make you appear tired, even when you're not, and can add years to your face, but for some people dark circles seem next to impossible to get rid of.


    Causes: Though many believe they can be hereditary, there's no conclusive evidence as such. Lack of sleep, mental stress, lifestyle habits, bad diet can contribute to dark circles. Whatever be the reason, it's best to work on the problem before it aggravates.


    Here are a few tips to deal with dark circles:

    - Massage Vitamin E or almond oil around the eyes without touching the eyes (massage must strictly be external). This improves blood circulation.

    - As a quick fix during parties, use a makeup concealer to hide the dark circle. But remember this is only a temporary solution.

    - Get a lot of sleep. Sleeplessness is a culprit for most health problems. Have a set routine and have regular sleep timing. Make sure you get at least 8 hours of sleep.

    - Drink lots of water. For anything related to health, water is still the best beverage.

    - Grate raw potato, squeeze the juice and apply the juice under your eyes for 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can also place thin slices of potato on your eyes (with them closed) every night before you retire. This is one of the most popular and time-tested home remedies for dark circles.

    To much bed, not enough sleep. Leave partner alone for a couple of days.

    Hello dear,
    I have some home remedy for dark circles. Hope it will also help you. Try it:-


    • Drink at least ten glasses of water every day.
    • Eight hours of sleep is a must for all of us, especially for people having dark circles under their eyes.
    • Wear sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30 under the eyes to prevent skin weakening caused by sun damage.
    • Use plain cool teabags over closed eyes. Don’t use herbal teabags, because most aren't as effective.
    • Apply cool cucumber slices over closed eyes for 15 minutes.
    • Make a paste of turmeric powder with pineapple juice for dark circles under the eyes.
