How to remove dark circles under eyes
Ways To Remove Dark Circles
Almond oil:
There are so many amazing natural remedies for dark circles, but I’ve got to admit I think sweet almond oil is my favorite. It’s rich in Vitamin E and K, both of which will brighten the under eye, while it will also help improve circulation, and it has anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce any morning swelling. All you need to do is gently pat in a drop of almond oil under your eye using your fourth finger. If you do this every night, you should be able to notice a difference in a few weeks.
Potato:
Not only do potatoes contain both vitamin A and C, which brighten and hydrate, but they also contain starch and other enzymes that help brighten and get rid of dark circles. For a quick and easy DIY, I like to combine potato juice (grate half a potato and strain the juice) with a teaspoon of honey, which will make the application easier, while the honey will also work to hydrate the under-eye area. Once applied, leave on for 30 minutes, before wiping it away with a damp cloth. You’ll notice results within a couple of weeks if you do this every day.
Green tea:
Green tea is packed with caffeine, which can help to shrink the blood vessels in your under eyes, reducing inflammation in the veins and skin. The caffeine and EGCG in the tea will also restrict the blood capillaries, improving the appearance of dark circles and reducing swelling in puffy eyes. You can simply place green tea bags (brewed and then chilled in the fridge) under your eyes, but I find the method of mixing brewed green tea leaves with a little Vaseline (or honey) to be really effective and easy.
Ice:
To reduce swelling and to efficiently drain the blood from your under eyes, apply something cool. By cooling this area, the blood vessels will constrict – we use anything we have in our fridge, from cucumber slices to a cold spoon. Jade rollers are also amazing at depuffing, and you can store yours in the fridge for a quick de-puff in the mornings. You can also freeze coffee ice cubes, which will help depuff and awaken the under eyes.
