We all have the problem of dark circles appearing around our eyes as we age. So how do we get rid of these dark circles? What I am about to do is to share with you some of the natural remedies that I have adopted over the years to help reduce the dark circles around my eyes. It doesn’t work effectively overnight but regular use helps me along the way. So here are some natural remedies for removing dark circles around your eyes

The first natural remedy for removing dark circle around eyes is actually the most common known which is using cucumber. Cucumber slices are known to reduce puffiness and refresh the appearance of the skin around our eyes. It is a great and quick effective method for tired and puffy eyes. All you need to do is to cut cucumber into thick slices and place them over your eyes especially around the darkened area. Lie down for about 10-15 minutes and with your eyes closed. Repeat this regime daily and look out for the effects.

The second natural remedy for removing dark circle around eyes is by using a potato. Just place one uncooked potato into a liquidizer and liquidize the whole potato. Scoop out and place the potato puree onto your closed eyes. Keep it there on your closed eyes while lying on your back and wash it off with warm water after 30 minutes

Apart from that you can also reuse your teabags by placing the cool teabags or ice cube wrapped in a soft cloth onto your eyes. The tannin in the teabags actually helps to reduce swelling and discoloration. It is however advisable to do it in the morning and leaving it on your eyes for about 10-15 minutes.

Lastly, you could also use a frozen spoon on your eyes if you do not have any cool teabags or ice cubes on your hand. Just place a spoon into the freezer for about 10-15 minutes and after that cover the circles with it. Hold it on your eyes until the spoon is warm again.
