Home Remedies for dark circles | Reasons for dark circles
Dark circles are a common problem for both men and women. Every third person has under eye dark circles and there are so many different reasons why you might have got it.
I will be sharing a couple of home remedies that worked for me and may help you remove your under eye dark circles fast. But before that let me give you some of the most common reasons why you might have got dark circles. Find out your root cause and treat them accordingly.
Causes of Dark Circles
1. Improper sleep and tiredness can cause dark circles and also puffiness
2. Not drinking enough water
3. Working on screens for longer hours ( Computer & phones). This is very common these days as the majority of work is being done through computers and also because everyone has become so addicted to their mobile phones & social media
4. The skin under the eyes is very delicate and thinner than the rest of the face. So proper care should be taken such as hydrating the under eye and protecting it from harsh sun rays. It is being said that sun rays fasten up the break down of collagen (read more about collagen at Estheticshub.com) which in turn makes the under eye skin even thinner. As a result of which the blood vessels in that area shows up making the under eyes look blue or darker.
5. Genetics( This can’t be treated. Sorry
6. Rubbing the eyes forcefully can dilate the blood vessels which may lead to dark circles
7. Iron deficiency can also cause dark circles
Home Remedies for Dark circles
Potato juice
This is my most trusted DIY for dark circles. It may seem a bit tedious but the after effects make it worth trying.
How to use?
- Keep one potato in a freezer for 10 minutes. Then peel it and crush the potato
- Strain the potato juice
- Dip a cotton pad in the juice and use it under your eyes
- You can also apply the rest of the juice all over your face.
- Leave it on for 20 minutes and then wash off
- Repeat this at least thrice a week for a month. You are definitely going to notice the changes. It also helps in giving a very soft and hydrating the skin.
Why does potato juice work for Dark Circles?
Potatoes are rich in starch, enzymes and also acts as a natural bleaching agent. It helps in lightening not just the skin under the eyes but also the scars. They have anti-inflammatory property which also helps in reducing the puffiness and under eye bags.
NOTE: I would recommend you to use fresh potato juice because they oxidize very quickly.
Green tea bag
Place Green tea bags in the freezer for 10 minutes and then keep it on your eyes for 15-20 minutes. Try doing this thrice a week.
How does green tea work on Dark Circles?
Green Tea is the rich in antioxidant and also contains caffeine. When cold tea bags are placed on the eyes they help in shrinking the dilated blood vessels which reduce the appearance of dark circles. Besides that they also increase the blood circulation, instantly relieves any eye irritations.
So these were the two home remedies for dark circles that have worked really well for me. If I had to choose any one, then hands down I would go for potato juice.
