Simple- you must increase your fibre consumption to at least 30grammes a day, and drink at least two litres of water, et voila, clear skin in a fortnight. Far more effective than silly epidermal applications. Perseverance needed though.

In order to reduce dark circles under your eyes, i found that putting a warm teabag on them helps a bit. I just use the teabag right after making a cup of tea so its still warm.

Put it UNDER YOUR EYE. or if you're weird try putting it in your eye!

My mom takes vasoline, puts it on a metal spoon and freezes it for 15 minutes. Then she applies it to her eyes for a few minutes.

I have yet to try it but it might help someone else if it helps her. Let me know if you try it. :)

Take two thin slices of cucumber on place on your eyelids for 10-15 minutes. This helps cool your eyes and pretty much lighten your dark circles.
Good Luck!

I remeber reading this off another site and trying it one night. In the morning my face looked brand new.

You should get enough sleep so that you are well rested.

drink lots of water <(amount is up to you)(maybe two glasses) and when you go to sleep; sleep on two nice fluffy pillows so you'r a little comfortable and elevated.

Don't eat chocolate! A little bit every great once in awhile won't hurt you, but if you regularly consume chocolate it will exacerbate the problem. I quit eating chocolate and my dark circles went away. Small sacrifice in my opinion!

I suffer at a very young age with under eye circles (DARK), I completely hate them!!! I recently was foolinf around and tried a remedy, my grandmother had told me about. Put steaming hot unsweetened, noncaffienated, tea bags (the tea you drink on ice). Once as hot as you can stand it, place on problem areas, right up against lids. Press so that it is very warm, hold for 15-20 minutes!

For a freshened set of eyes, take a wet wash cloth, and sprinkle rosmary and other aromic herbs on to it and roll it up, and pop it in the microwave for about a min. When you remove from the microwave lay roll onto eyes and lay down breathing deeply. remove the rag when it becaomes cold. follow up by blotting a tissue all over the eyes so that you are not wet there
