How To Get Rid Of Dark Circles Using Home Remedies
Under eye dark circle, one of the common problems faced by women these days has several causes related to them. Dark circles can pop up on your under eye area unwelcome. The discolouration can occur from lack of sleep, hereditary problem, hectic lifestyle, nutrient deficiency, stressful environment, etc. Though we cannot keep a control on all these causes but of course we can introduce some healthy changes to our lifestyle to prevent and cure dark circles.
Being devoid of oxygen, under eye skin area is very delicate. This skin is so frugal that you have to be careful while taking care of this area. Here a couple of ‘Don’ts’ that help in dark circle prevention:
Be careful while caring
1) Do not stretch or pull this area
2) Do not use any facial mask on under eye area unless recommended by a dermatologist.
3) Do not massage hard on this area.
4) Do not use any other finger except ring finger while applying eye cream.
5) Do not tightly shut your eyes.

As it’s always said ‘prevention is better than cure’ so making some tweaks in daily diet and exercise routine can also yield fruitful results for your health and skin.
Prevention is better than cure
1) Keep yourself hydrated; drink at least 4-5 liters of water daily.
2) Include fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet. Dark color fruits such as watermelon, orange, kiwi, etc. benefits more in less time.

3) Start with a disciplined exercise regimen. Exercising, yoga and deep breathing improve overall health. Sticking to this regimen increases blood circulation thus making you healthy.
4) Sleep deprived eyes also look more gloomy and puffy. So ensure you take sound sleep for 7 consecutive hours.
5) Always protect your eyes from harmful UVA & UVB rays by wearing good quality sun glasses.
