Make cucumber juice by peeling a cucumber and running it through a blender. Put the pulp in a fine meshed wire strainer and squeeze the juice into a bowl. Dip two cotton pads in the juice, lie down, and place the pads over your eyes. Be sure the under eye area is covered. Rest for half an hour with the pads in place. Repeat daily.
Some say that potatoe juice works just as well for a dark circle remedy as cucumber. Run it through the blender and use just like the cucumber juice.
Another dark circle remedy is Chamomile Tea. Make some Chamomile Tea with two tea bags. Squeeze as much water out of the tea bags as you can and let them cool. Place the tea bags over your eyes and rest just like with the cucumber. Chamomile Tea is very relaxing so drink the tea first and then use the teabags for your eyes. Other kinds of tea also work. Try this with black or green tea.
Soak your cotton pads with rose water or almond oil before placing on your eyes.
Dabbing Vitamin E oil under the eye throughout the day is effective for some. Just pierce a Vitamin E capsule with a pin and squeeze out the oil. Be careful not to get it into your eye.
Wear sunglasses when you are out in the sun. A sun tan can make the under eye area look even darker.
