Take Rest and Get Plenty of Sleep Nightly
A recommended amount of sleep is 7-9 hours per night, but the hours of sleep may be varied throughout different people. Try to get that same hours of sleep regularly for a couple of weeks to see if that helps. Lack of sleep tends to cause the skin to become paler thus increasing the appearance of dark circles under eyes.
Drink Plenty of Water
8 glasses of water is recommended for daily consumption, which will help in reducing dark circles.
Take Cod Liver Oil
Swallow a capsule of cod liver oil daily, which will strengthen eyes and help in reducing dark circles.
Drink Fruit Juice
Drinking fresh fruit juice helps in detoxify body. Try drinking cranberry juice.
Eat Healthy and Balanced Diet
Eating healthy and balanced diet, particularly vegetables which are higher in calcium and magnesium than dairy products (especially cabbage, spinach and other leafy green vegetables), fruits and proper vitamins. Poor vitamin absorption may tend to reduce adrenal function. The less adrenal function you have the less vitamin B6 you tend to absorb, the less vitamin B6 you absorb, the less well your adrenal glands work and alas you end up in a vicious dark circle.
Avoid Junk Food
Keep away from junk food (including other processed food) as they contain artificial colours which contribute to the formation of dark circles under eyes as well as other diseases.
Avoid Excess Salt Intake
Avoid excess intake of salt in diet. Excess salt intake causes the body to retain water in unusual place, which will form puffiness under the eyes. Excess intake of salt in diet can also cause various body problems, for instance impairing circulation and causing blood vessels under the skin to appear bluer.
Use Sunglass under Sun
Use sunscreen or sunglass under the exposure of sunlight. This is to keep the eyes from harmful rays. In such way the skin under your eyes does not darken as quickly as the rest of your face and thus your dark circles seem lighter.
Avoid Smoking and Drinking Alcohol
Smoking and drinking alcohol can adversely affect the quality of sleep resulting in appearance of dark circles under eyes as mentioned above. Moreover, smoking causes vascular, i.e. blood vessel problems that will threaten your life as well as make your blood vessels appear more prominent and bluer beneath the skin.
No Rubbing Skin
- Do not rub the skin under eyes area. The rubbing irritates the skin and can break tiny capillaries beneath the skin, causing both puffiness and discoloration.
