13 Natural Treatments for Dark Circles You Can Do at Home
10 Tomatoes
Tomatoes are full of phytochemicals like lycopene and beta-carotene, which protect skin cells from oxidative damage and make skin less red. This can help you get rid of dark circles under your eyes. Mix a tomato and some lemon juice to make a paste. Put this on the area around your eyes and let it sit for 20 minutes. Rinse it off well. You can do this once or twice a week.
Note: Lemon juice can sting your skin, so you should do a patch test before you try this remedy.

11 Saffron
Saffron contains carotenoids and riboflavin, which are bioactive compounds that promote anti-tyrosinase activity. These compounds help stop the skin from getting too dark and lessen the visibility of dark circles, making them effective natural dark circle treatments. Soak 3-4 strands of saffron in a quarter cup of milk for about 2 hours. Pour the milk through a sieve and put it on the skin around your eyes. Wash it off after 10 minutes.

12 Lemon Juice
Lemons have a lot of vitamin C in them. Vitamin C can help get rid of dark spots and may help make the skin under the eyes thicker. This can help hide the blood vessels that show up when the skin thins and make dark circles less noticeable.
Take a fresh lemon and extract its juice. Put some of this juice on a cotton ball and put it on the dark circles. Let it remain on for 15 minutes, then wash it off. Do this treatment twice a week for three to four weeks.
Note: Lemon juice can sting your skin, so do a patch test before you try this solution. Also, use sunscreen before going out in the sun because lemon juice can make your skin sensitive to light.

13 Green Tea Bags
Green tea has phenolic compounds that stop melanogenesis from happening. This could help keep the skin from getting too dark and lessen the dark circles under the eyes. Soak two bags of green tea in water. Put them in the fridge for a short time, then put them on your eyes. After 10–15 minutes, wash your face. You can do this every day until the circles get lighter.
There are many things that can cause dark circles under the eyes, including stress, fatigue, allergies, dehydration, aging, and too much time in the sun. But you can get rid of dark circles and nourish the thin skin under your eyes with almond oil, aloe vera gel, cucumber, tomato, rosehip oil, yogurt, potatoes, or licorice extract. But you need to follow the instructions for the natural dark circle treatments you choose exactly the way they are written. The wrong mix of ingredients or the wrong amounts could do more harm than good or not work at all. Blepharopigmentation, laser therapy, and chemical peels are all medical options for getting rid of dark circles.
