Are you tired of using concealer to hide your dark circles? Well, most people have stubborn rings beneath their eyes.

Genetics, allergies, ageing, fatigue, or eye strain are some of the major factors that might cause dark circles under the eyes.

However, a few effective home remedies would be helpful to lighten up your dark circles. 

Use slices of cucumber

As per experts, cucumber has a natural healing element as the water-filled fruit provides hydration to your eyes.

Apply thinly cut cucumber slices under your eyes for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse with water and apply the process twice a day for better results.

Magic of almond oil and vitamin E

As we know, vitamin E and almond oil have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities. If one can apply the mixture of these natural elements under your eyes, it will help lighten puffiness and dark circles. 

Tomato and Lemon based toner

Tomatoes are a great source of exfoliation. Make a mixture of lemon and tomato juice, apply it around your eyes and rinse with water after 20 minutes.

This home-based remedy will help lighten your dark circles. 

Keep yourself hydrated

When your body isn't getting enough water, the skin under it might go dull and appear sunken. Your eyes may develop dark rings due to dehydration. It is important to keep your water intake in balance. 

Sleep well

You can say goodbye to your persistent dark circles with medical treatment or home remedies. However, the most beneficial factor in maintaining a glowy skin is quality sleep.
