How to Remove Dark Circles Naturally

Dark under-eye circles are the result of weakened skin capillaries around the eyes. Unfortunately, weakened capillaries can be an inherited trait. Allergies, and the subsequent eye rubbing, sleep deprivation and excessive sun exposure can also contribute to these dark circles. But a costly trip to the dermatologist is not necessary: Dark circles can be lightened dramatically using natural, budget-friendly home remedies.

Cucumber Slices

Slice two rounds pieces of cucumber. Only two pieces are needed for one treatment. Store remaining cucumber in a large plastic baggie in the refrigerator.

Lie down, and place one cucumber piece on each eye.

Allow cucumbers to sit on the eyes for 20 minutes. Cucumbers will lighten the skin and reduce puffiness. Repeat process twice a day.

Tropical Dark Circle Eliminator

Measure 1/4 cup pineapple juice, pour into bowl.

Mix 2 tsp. turmeric powder into bowl of pineapple juice.

Stir the ingredients until a paste-like mixture is formed. Stir for about one minute, mixing ingredients thoroughly.

Dab two cotton balls into pineapple turmeric powder paste. Apply under both eyes.

Repeat this process twice daily for two weeks for best results.
