  1. They're good for reducing puffiness. The darkness may be genetic, in which case you'll need to use some sort of cover stick.

  3. I don't actually know about cucumbers taking away dark circles but i have heard that teabags do. You have to soak them in warm water gently ring them out and lay them but do not press them on your eyes. The tea has natural antioxidants that are healthy for you and relieves a number of things. Tea bags are also good to put on your eyes if you have a eye infection. Freezing a spoon and placing it on a bruise will help the blood disperse more evening hence making the bruse go away faster. You can look on the internet for home remedies also.. good luck

    Remedies For Dark Circles

    * An instant dark circles remedy is to use the correct concealer. The shade should be lighter than your foundation. If circles are very dark, choose 2 shades lighter. Great choices can be Revlon New Complexion Concealer, Estee Lauder Smoothing Skin Concealer, Cover Girl Smoothers Concealer, or Neutrogena Smoothing Skin Stick.

    * Apply a good Vitamin K cream. Vita-K Solution gel or Peter Thomas Roth Power K Eye Rescue help strengthen capillary walls around the dark circles to make them less visible.

    * One should go for laser treatment only if the case is chronic. Lasers can increase production of collagen thereby thickening skin to make dark circles less visible.

    * Home remedies for dark circles can include the following:
    1. Drink plenty of water to combat dehydration.
    2. Wear at least SPF 30 sunscreen to prevent more sun damage.
    3. Get enough sleep.
    4. Leave cold teabags, cucumber or potato slices, or washcloths with ice cubes on eyes for 15 minutes regularly.
    5. Take iron supplements if anemic, but consult your doctor first.
    6. Identify the allergens and avoid them. Whether it be pollen, food, whatever, avoidance is the best solution to this. And avoid rubbing your eyes.

    * Hylexin is the first dark circles eye cream developed for serious dark circles. Featured in several magazines such as Marie Claire, FashionWeekDaily, The Wall Street Journal , Star and Luck.
