Is there any possible home remedy for eliminating dark circles or bags under your eyes besides sleep??

Question

i know i sometimes lack sleep but its just my problem.. i just want to get rid of them..

and take home remedy seriously...

Answer 1

In quite a few books I've read:

   1.)  slice a cold cucumber and while lying down, place a slice over

         each closed eye; (15 - 20 minutes)  or

   2.)  place a dampened tea bag over each eye (not soggy, just slightly

         wet)  15 - 20 minutes)

I've seen both of these treatment suggestions but have never tried it.  Hope this works for you.

    

Answer 2

Some cool wet tea bags

Or put spoons in the freezer for like 20 minutes then take them out and place them on your eyes.

Yellow concealer

I heard crushed up asprin mixed with water to form a paste works but idk.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Dark circles and bags start as early as your 20's.  As a college student going into my junior year, I've fallen victim to them, primarily because of lack of sleep.  During the summer, I've gotten more sleep; therefore, I've had less of a problem with it.  As far as home remedies go, I've heard about tea bags over your eyes, cucumbers over your eyes, and some face masks.  Regardless, I've used an eye cream (I think it's by Lancome?), labeled specifically for circles/bags.  I'd definitely look into some creams and some of the home remedies.  Make sure you moisturize, too.  Apply the cream before bed at night, and put it on under your concealer when you're applying your makeup.  Hope that helps!

Answer 4

I have heard preparation H for hemorrhoids, my girlfriend swears by it, but check with a doctor and do not get into eyes.  This would be for the puffiness.  Also avon has a cream called anew for eyes. that is also good.  The dark circles run in my family.  Concealer is the easiest way.

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.

    * One of the greatest remedies for dark circles is Arbonne's NutriMinC® RE9 Repair. It’s a corrective puffiness and dark circles eye cream that does additional benefits – firming, moisturizing and repairing the delicate tissue around the eye.

Answer 6

Sleep with a mask on to help light stay out to get better rest.

You can use the ice eye packs to help, cucumber slices, there is also a St. Ives cucumber eye stress gel to put around them that seems to help when i go to bed with it on.

Make sure you are getting enough iron too, sometimes that has a lot to do with things.

Vitamins- Vitamin C, a good multi and even a b complex.
