What is the most efficient way to get clear skin instead of dark circles without applying harmful chemicals? Here are some fast recovery tips to get rid of the dark circles:

Dark circles are not a serious skin issue and can be treated with sleep and home remedies

Give cold touch

It is really easy to follow and it does not cost much. You can try it at your own home anytime. Take a metal spoon and keep this spoon in the freezer or fridge. A careful analysis says, for three to four hours, but to get better results you can keep it in the fridge before going to bed and after waking up in the morning take out the spoon and put it on your both eyes for a few minutes. Do it three times. You will see the difference in a few days.

Similarly, use cold water to wash your face and eyes almost three to five times in a day.

Water, water and good to go

Yes, drink a lot of water daily. No, don’t worry I am not asking you to drinks by gallons, but I mean a minimum of eight glasses of pure water. This is not only helpful in removing dark circles, but it is a super formula for skin tightening and dehydration. Fresh and clean water is an anti-wrinkle natural tonic. So, why do you always skip it from your diet plan?

Tomato — the natural remedy

Take two slices of tomato and keep them on your eyes for about 15-25 minutes. But do this after the cold spoon method, with a gap of at least two hours between these two methods.

Almond oil for dark circles

Almond oil works well around the area of your eyes and this is one of the most authentic home remedy for reducing dark circles. Combine one teaspoon almond oil and one teaspoon honey. Apply this under your eyes before going to bed and wash off the next morning with cold water. Repeat until circles vanish.

Lemon juice remedy

Lemon juice contains vitamin C that is considered good for lightening the dark area around your eyes. Dip a cotton ball in fresh lemon juice and apply on dark circles. Leave it for about 12 minutes, and then wash with cold water. Use this remedy daily for one week.

Are you giving sleep time to someone else?

You need to check your sleeping hours. If you are not getting sufficient sleep, then leave all the treatments such as the tomato as well as the cold spoon and concentrate on getting sound sleep about six to eight hours per day. Once you are getting proper sleep you will be able to see great results. It is a guaranteed fact.

Get proper diet

Change your diet to include healthy food to overcome the issue. Take a diet that is rich in iron, Vitamin A, C, E and K. Proper care and a proper diet will help you to get back beautiful eyes.
