What are the best natural remedies to remove dark circles?
hiya
can u be more specific? u mean on furniture?

if you mean under the eyes, it is caused by puffiness which causes shadows. the old trick of putting a slice of cucumber on them should help.
omg *blushing…
yes re eyes cucumber and a good daily moisturiser.

Ahhhmmmm, I know that we shouldn’t mention such things in polite circles like ours, but I have read that putting Anusol ™ under the eyes is meant to reduce puffiness and models use this trick all the time.

Get some blood checks done and rule out any underlying issues like liver problems or pernicious anaemia.
I’ve found a paste made from cigar ash and extra virgin olive oil, rubbed vigourously onto the stain will remove the rings from table tops.

Are you getting enough sleep? I had dark circles under my eyes some time ago. I found that getting several good nights’ sleep worked wonders. If sleep isn’t an issue, talk to your GP.
Ooooh I’ve heard of this too. In a book probably.
Otherwise, fatigue is an absolute sod for dark circles. A clean living type of person, would suggest eating really healthily, getting plenty of sleep (however you go about getting that), not drinking to excess, or staying up late.
Or, you could (if funds allow), buy Touche Eclat concealer, and/or eye cream, try out the old cucumber slices over the eyes thing, always sit in darkened rooms or try starting a new veil wearing trend.
Another slightly more alternative remedy, practice the art of absolutely scintillating conversation. Then when you are drinking too much in a dark wine bar/jazz club (whatever your preference is), no one will notice what you look like as you’ll be so entertaining.

For the dark circles in my Mindfulness Colouring book, I use fluorescent lime, it’s very effective.
Under the eye dark circles : Do not use haemoroid cream aka piles cream (cos I clearly can’t spell) on facial skin!! Since the models of the 1940’s - 1980’s, the ingredients have changed & no longer tighten & smooth eye bags/dark circles. Concealer is a quick fix, avoiding constipation is proven to reduce dark shadows & puffy eyes. Drink plenty of water.

Do cucumber slices also relieve Farmer Giles, or do you need a whole one for that?

Ladies first.
I had been suffering from this problem for a very long time. I tried so many things(mostly artificial things) but none of them worked. The best natural cure is enough sleep, workout and drinking enough water. Live a stress-free life and stick to your healthy diet plan.
Glad you said that, I wouldnt put that under my eyes…
Get rid of under eye dark circle I used (removed by moderator) under eye cream all the fine lines around my eyes have disappeared. It doesn’t take much to fan around the eyes and noticed a difference in only two days of use.
