Hello,

Lack of sleep and stress are the most common reasons for dark circles below eyes. You can try some home remedies which are quite effective

1. Almond oil- apply some almond oil over your dark circles and massage it gently into the skin. Leave the oil on overnight. Wash it off with cold water next morning. Repeat this every day until your dark circles are gone.

2. Cucumber- Cut a fresh cucumber into thick slices and chill it for about 30 minutes. Place the slices on the dark circles for about 10 minutes. Wash the area thoroughly with water. Repeat this process twice a day for one week to see results.

3. Rose water- Soak cotton eye pads in rose water for a few minutes.
Place the soaked pads on your closed eyelids. Leave them on for about 15 minutes. Follow this remedy twice daily for 2 - 3 weeks to see results.

You can use creams which contains ingredients like- hydroquinone, kojic acid, Vitamins C and K, green tea, and licorice.

The permanent solution is laser treatment and chemical peel. Kindly visit a dermatologist and discuss this option if you are not getting the desired results with home remedies.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sanjay Kini
