Hii, dark circles may be due to various causes. In order to treat the problem, we need to address the causes first. 1. Lack of sleep 2. Low hb 3.allergies 4. Smoking 5. Excessive consumption of alcohol 6. Stress 7. Due to excessive thinning of skin (vascular origin) 8. May be genetic in some patients. Now, a few people have sunken eyeballs. Those are different from dark circles but are many a times mistaken for the same. Sunken eye balls are due to sudden/ excessive weight loss or aging. Sunken eyeballs are corrected through fillers. For the correction of dark circles follow the following advice: 1. Drink plenty of water 2. Min 7 hrs sleep 3. Destress yourself- whatever suits you- meditation, yoga etc 4. Avoid alcohol, smoking 5. Moisturize your under eye skin twice daily 6. Apply a sunscreen on your face as well as under eye area 7. As an adjuvant use home remedies like putting teabags/ potato peels on your eyes for 10 mins once daily in evening biluma is a cream containing combination of depigmenting agents like kojic acid, arbutin, licorice, mulberry extract etc other specific agents for dark circles include melalumin, seloma under eye cream, chemical peels etc. Based on the cause of your dark circles, a dermatologist will prescribe you treatment. In your case, you may follow the above advice, get your hb checked, and may correct it by consulting a physician. For any further queries or skin issue, may consult a dermatologist. Hope it helps.

R you stressed? Take adequate sleep. Sleep deprivation can cause dark circles. Use some sunblock with spf (at least 50) every time you go out in sun. U can do the following 1. Tomatoes--mix one teaspoon of tomato juice with one and a half teaspoon of lemon juice. Gently apply this mixture on your dark circles and allow it to sit for 10 minutes. Rinse it off well with cool water. 2. Cucumber- vcut a fresh cucumber into thick slices and chill it for about 30 minutes. Place the slices on the dark circles for about 10 minutes. Wash the area thoroughly with water. 3. Raw potatoes -- grate a couple of chilled potatoes to extract the juice. Soak a cotton ball in the juice and place it on your closed eyes. Make sure the juice covers the dark circles entirely. Allow the juice to sit for about 15 minutes and rinse your eyelids well with cool water 4. Rose water -- soak cotton eye pads in rose water for a few minutes. Place the soaked pads on your closed eyelids. Leave them on for about 15 minutes. 5.apply cool tea bags or an ice cube wrapped in soft cloth to your eyes daily. 6. Regularly undergo meditation and perform some exercise. U need proper constitutional medicine to get permanent relief. Consult online for details.
