Common conclusions

Based on your answers, there are several other ways that can help you get rid of dark circles under eyes. Cold compresses can help you reduce swelling and puffiness. Make a compress by wrapping a few ice cubes in a clean cloth. Put compresses on your eyes and hold for about 20 minutes or until the ice melts. You can also try applying cold tea bags to your eyes (green or black tea). Tea contains antioxidants and caffeine that stimulate blood circulation and reduce fluid retention under the skin. You can always hide dark circles with the help of make-up, but that is only a temporary solution.

Based on your answers, you know a lot about how to get rid of dark circles under eyes. Try to get a good night's sleep because dark circles are often even more obvious when you are tired. It is good to sleep seven to eight hours during the night. Also, when you sleep, raise your head on several pillows. This way you will prevent the accumulation of fluid under the eyes and your eyes will not look puffy. Also, dark circles can be resolved with several medical treatments, such as chemical peeling, laser skin renewal, fillers, medical tattoos or surgical implants of fat or synthetic products.
