Why not try natural remedies that can have optimum results with no side effects to cure dark circles under the eyes?

Natural Therapies…and Causative Factors
People who have used chamomile and Vitamin E have discovered that these natural therapies can decrease the severity of dark under-eye circles.

The first thing that you should do to cure dark circles under the eyes is to examine your diet. Chances are that you are allergic to a food or a drink, especial dairy products and excessive sugar. Dark circles under the eyes are a sign that your liver or kidneys are carrying a toxic load.

Another cause is sometimes stress. Too much sun can also cause dark circles under eye. One additional cause is bone structure: persons with deep set eyes sometimes appear to have shadows under their eyes. An overproduction of melanin can also cause dark shadows under the eyes. In most cases, proper lifestyle changes will dramatically diminish under eye circles. Here are a few suggestions for improving your lifestyle: 

Good Nutrition

Eating a diet rich in Vitamin K and iron, in addition to doing away with processed or greasy foods, will go a long way towards eliminating dark circles under eye.  

If you follow a regimen recommended for the prevention of oily breakouts or acne, you will benefit the skin on the face overall - including the under eye area. Below are a suggestions for facial care:

1. Consume plenty of fiber, to allow for regular bowel movements. 

2. Eat plenty of fresh fruits.

3. Either eat your vegetables raw or sauté or lightly cook your vegetables. Make sure you get plenty of greens, as they are known to clean out the toxins in the bloodstream.

4. Eat a couple of servings of broiled fish a week, for their essential fatty acids.

5. Buy a juicer, and juice raw fruits and vegetables.

6. Avoid fried foods, butter, cheeses, whole milk, ice cream, rich salad dressings, chocolate, fatty meats, coffee, sweets and processed nut products.

Cosmetic Use
Do not leave under-eye creams or oils (or any moisturizer) on the skin underneath your eyes for any length of time.  And if the under eye cream or oil is old, throw it out!  If you do use any under eye creams or oils, try to get products that are enriched with Vitamins C or E.

Vitamin C, especially, is involved in collagen production. Collagen protein accounts for up to 75% of the weight of the dermis and is responsible for the elasticity and elasticity of the skin.

After washing your face at night, apply a light moisturizer to help keep your skin hydrated.

Under-eye Exercises
Try palpating the area around your eyes lightly. Using the tips of your fingers, make fluttering motions with your fingers and lightly graze the area. This will rev up circulation and “smooth out” little creases.

Internal Hydration
You will want to drink at least eight (8) glasses of quality water per day. This will help eliminate dehydration, one of the main causes of dark circles under the eyes.

Stay Active
Be sure to get some exercise each and every day. This will improve your overall health and vigor. 

Apply A Grated Cucumber Or Raw Potato

Freeze grated cucumber.  Massage the grated cucumber ice cubes on the eyes.  Or try wrapping a grated potato in cheesecloth and applying to the eyelids for about 15 minute.  Then, rinse with warm water. 

Apply Cucumber Juice or Potato Juice
Applying cucumber juice or potato juice on a cotton pad will help you with its mild bleaching properties. They generally have a soothing and cooling effect. However, these juices  only have a temporary solution for dark circles under the eyes and should be followed up with a good lifestyle, as described above.
