How can I get rid of dark circles under my eye?


Dark circles under the eye can easily be treated with home care remedies. The first thing you should do is apply a cold compress on the eyes to reduce the swelling and bluish discoloration. Get extra sleep with the head of the bed elevated. Wear a sunscreen if you go out in the sun and wear dark glasses to protect your eye. There are hundreds of skincare products that are sold as a treatment of dark circles under the eye. While the majority are crap, root extracts from the Brazilian  suma plants have been shown to improve appearance of the eye. For the short term, you can also use a camouflage or a concealer. These products can hide dark circles  but you have to be aware that many such products also contain synthetic chemicals that can cause allergies and may even worsen your skin. There is no surgical procedure for dark circles.  Even though some doctors are offering laser for dark circles, this is criminal. Lasers are not supposed to be used near the eye- your dark circle may disappear, but you can go blind.
