I think here your intention is to get rid of dark circle under eyes, so use these tips:
Local application of certain bleaching agents and glycolic acids does seem to help in reducing the dark circles in many cases.

Local application of creams rich in vitamin C and E may also help in counteracting poor nutrition by stimulating blood flow under the eye, reducing the incidence of dark circles.

Some de pigmentation products like Kogic acid, used under the guidance of a trained professional can help in reducing the dark pigmentation, improving the condition of the skin under the eye.

Most people may find the cause to be a lifestyle related. Some light outdoor exercise in the fresh air, good deep sleep and a break from the hectic work environment will improve facial skin giving it a glow and reducing dark circles dramatically.

For people who suffer from dark under eye circles on a permanent basis and the cause is hereditary, it may be better to use, clever makeup and learn to live with the problem.

Some beauty treatments which consist of ozone treatments and skin lightening packs can also help to a certain degree.

A simple home remedy is to put hot (warm) and cold tea bags alternatively, directly on the closed eyes and directly above the dark circles for some relief.

Get rid of puffy eyes by putting cotton wool dipped in warm tea over the affected portion.

Try dipping cotton wool in cucumber juice and applying below the eyes. Keeping Cucumber pieces over the eyes for fifteen minutes a day also help in reduction of this problem.

Try to sleep straight on the back with a low pillow . This can help in reducing puffy eye problem.

A better long term solution is to modify the lifestyle to find permanent relief. Reducing alcohol intake, reducing fat intake and regular light outdoor exercise can help in improving skin under the eye and getting rid of puffy eyes.



I hope above helps. It is important to first find a cause of the beauty related problem, before rushing to the market to buy creams and gels for the skin. Many a times, the cause may be found in poor nutrition, poor exercise regimen and stress related issues. Some modification in the way we live combined with some short term solutions will normally improve quality of life and also external beauty.

Almost everyone gets dark circles under the eyes from time to time. This condition can affect anyone – women, men and children no matter their age. Dark circles are believed to be frequently hereditary, which means that if your mother or father have dark circles you are likely to have them as well.
In most of the cases the lack of sleep and tiredness are the main causes of dark circles and puffiness. It’s no dream that a good night’s sleep is nature’s best beauty treat. When we rest and are less stressed our skin enters its growth and repair cycle. Lack of enough sleep tends to cause the skin to become paler and reduce the blood circulation – the blood vessels become more visible through the skin. Lack of proper sleep over prolonged periods of time will make the dark circles more difficult to remove.

WHAT CAUSES DARK CIRCLES UNDER THE EYES ?

* dark circles can be hereditary
* allergies
* lack of sleep
* nasal congestion
* fluid retention
* dehydration
* iron deficiency – anemia
* aging
* stress
* poor diet
* smoking
* extreme weight loss
* chronic sinusitis
* lack of vitamin K
* engorged blood vessels
* broken capillaries in the skin
* excessive sun exposure

Anemia iron deficiency may cause a blush tinge below the eyes. The skin usually look pale and the area around the eyes look darker. Include foods such as red meats, green vegetables, beans, raisins, eggs, and whole-grain breads that contain iron if you are deficient in iron.

Dehydration is among the main causes of dark circles under the eyes. If you donвt drink enough water everyday, you are not providing your body with as much water as it requires for flushing out toxins which often leads to dark circles under the eyes.

HOW CAN YOU TREAT DARK CIRCLES UNDER THE EYES AT HOME :

There are a few things you can do to treat dark circles under your eyes.

If the dark circles under the eyes are due to swelling and fluid retention, something as simple as applying cool tea bags or cucumber slices under the eyes may bring relief. Tea bags are known to effectively reduce the swelling and discoloration.

Apply cool cucumber slices – cucumbers are rich in water that helps to reduce puffiness and refresh the appearance of your skin. Cucumber slices have a soothing effect on the eyes.

Applying an eye cream every day is essential. Look for a product that treats dark circles under the eyes. Most of the eye creams designed to treat and heal dark circles contain retinol, Aloe Vera, vitamin K, vitamin C, alpha hydroxyl acid.

Wash your face with cold or lukewarm water in the morning and in the evening if puffiness occurs. Cold water calms the skin and constructs the blood vessels.

Drink dandelion tea to boost your kidneys. Sometimes abnormal kidney function can be the cause for the dark circles.

Drink plenty of water – drink at least 1.5 liter mineral water a day to improve circulation and to keep your body hydrated.

Eat a healthy diet – make sure you eat healthy food. Eat many fresh vegetables and fruits.

You can use a concealer for a quick fix: Using yellow will neutralize the blues, purples, and husky hues on the skin. This does not remove the problem, but can build your confidence for the day, by alleviating the 'tired look'.
You can use tea bags and cucumbers: Yes there is definitely something to those commercials where women have cucumbers and tea bags on top of their eyes. Both tea bags and cucumbers reduce inflammation and decrease swelling. Tea bags are especially good to use for dark swollen circles because there is tannin inside of the tea that helps with eliminating the puffiness.
You should use more anti-oxidants: Antioxidant treatments help to reduce fluid buildup under the eyes, which decreases the dark circles. Therefore, you should go for treatments that involve a lot of vitamin C and GHK copper peptides. Also, vitamin K is great for restoring stability and strength to the blood vessels under the eyes, which reduces their proliferation.
