Simple dark circles fixes
- Cucumber is the go-to vegetable when it comes to instant dark circle fixes. Place two ice cold slices for about 10 – 15 minutes and then wash the area with plain water. You can also mix cucumber juice with equal quantities of lemon juice and apply it on the affected area with cotton balls. Leave it on for about 15 minutes before washing it.
- Tomatoes are well-known for their skin lightening properties. Make a puree of tomato. Mix this with a teaspoon of lemon juice and add a pinch of turmeric powder. Blend this mixture with gram flour or orange lentil flour and apply it on the area around your eyes. Leave it on for about 15 minutes. Follow this religiously and you can witness the dark circles disappear completely over time.
- For those who cannot spare any time during the day, almond oil acts as a saviour. Apply the oil on the dark circles before you go to sleep and wash it off with cold water when you wake up.
- If the aforementioned remedies are a tad too messy for you, a frozen spoon can be used alternatively. Place the spoon in the refrigerator till it gets cold. Remove it and cover your eyes with the spoon. Hold it there until the spoon becomes warm again.
