Here are tips to help remove dark circles at home

Apply a cold compress or chilled tea bags to the under-eye area. The cold temperature helps constrict blood vessels, reducing puffiness and darkness.

Cold Compress

Place thin slices of cucumber over your closed eyes for about 10-15 minutes. Cucumber has cooling properties that can soothe and lighten dark circles.

Cucumber Slices

Similarly to cucumber, apply potato slices or dab potato juice under your eyes. Potatoes contain enzymes and vitamin C that can help lighten skin and reduce dark circles.

Potato Slices or Juice

Use a gentle, hydrating eye cream or moisturizer formulated for the under-eye area. Keeping the skin moisturized can reduce the appearance of dark circles caused by dryness.

Moisturize

Lack of sleep can contribute to dark circles. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to allow your body time to repair

Get Enough Sleep

Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body and skin hydrated. Dehydration can make dark circles more noticeable.

Hydrate

Consistency in applying these remedies, along with maintaining a healthy lifestyle, can effectively reduce dark circles and brighten the under-eye area.
