Cold Compresses:
Wrap a few ice cubes in a clean cloth and place them on your eyes for 10-15 minutes.
You can also use chilled spoons or cold tea bags (green or black tea).
Cucumbers:
Cut fresh cucumbers into thick slices and place them on your eyes for about 10-15 minutes. Cucumbers have cooling properties that help reduce puffiness and dark circles.
Potatoes:
Grate a raw potato and place it on your eyes for 15-20 minutes. Potatoes have natural bleaching properties that can help lighten dark circles.
Almond Oil:
Gently massage almond oil around your eyes before bed. Almond oil is rich in vitamin E, which helps nourish the skin.
Tomatoes:
Mix one tablespoon of tomato juice with one tablespoon of lemon juice. Apply the mixture to the dark circles, leave it on for 10 minutes, and then rinse with cold water. Tomatoes have natural bleaching properties.
Aloe Vera Gel:
Apply fresh aloe vera gel to the area under your eyes and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. Aloe vera helps soothe and hydrate the skin.
Rose Water:
Soak cotton pads in cold rose water and place them on your eyes for 10-15 minutes. Rose water has refreshing properties and helps reduce dark circles.
