How do you reduce dark circles around the eyes?

The skin is thinner under the eyes than the rest of the body and therefore shows the blood vessels more.  I don't think there is a direct solution.  Rather, it's a question of health and cardiovascular fitness in general.

Hello Steele Luv,\n  I'm not quite sure if there's much you can do except to have your eyes adjust to the darknes. I guess you can do this by closing your eyes for a few minutes before you go out into the darkness. Please be certain to open the door before you go out and then be sure to open your eyes once outside. Statistics have proven that the majority of bump and run accidents have been attributed to just this problem. Also make certain that you always take along a designated see'r. I hope this has helped you and if not, oh well you can't find me, so haha.\n\nBreaking News: In all seriousness, don't bother paying for needless products to improve night vision, just eat a proper diet with various fruits and vegetables and you will be fine. Lots of carrots, kale and greens. Vegetables and fruits high in anti-oxidants is the key to all around good health. Whether they help with night vision I have no evidence. Help me someone. Send real study results.

Chinese medicine says that dark circles under your eyes are a sign of an internal problem, not just a skin problem. If they are dark that indicates toxic blood and the kidneys weakness in filtering your blood. If they are swollen that indicates sluggish filtration of your kidneys.\n\nThis can lead to a variety of health problems such as water retention, scanty urine, swollen ankles, fingers and toes and possibly urinary infection. \nThere are several solutions you can use. \nThe are in my source you should check them out.\n\nhttp://www.jtfit.com/bags-eyes/

Try a slice of cucumber over each eye while soaking in a warm bath or while just relaxing in the evening.  You can also try a moisturizer or replenishing lotion such as Aveeno.

try jergens, or another lotion that darkenss the skin. these look totally natural cause they darken your skin tone, not paint something on it. also, if you need to tan quickly, try natural airbrush enhancement (not airbrush tanning)

Dark circles under your eyes means that your liver is not functioning well.  Probably not poorly enough to alarm a medical doctor, but enough to make you feel bad and to alert you to get plenty of sleep and extra water.\n\nThe liver repairs at night between 1 and 3 a.m. if you've had enough water to drink during the day.  If you're dehydrated, you'll wake up and have trouble getting back to sleep during that time.\n\nFenugreek and Thyme are good for respiratory ailments.  Headaches can be caused by dehydration or toxicity.  Make sure you have plenty of fiber in your diet.  Zinc is good for congestion and stuffiness.  Try Throat Coat tea or Gypsy Cold Care tea from Traditional Medicinals.\n\nWarm honey and lemon are great, too.  2 T honey, 2 T fresh lemon juice added to about 6 oz. warm water.

Those are called eyebags, I believe. They're kinda puffy and soft and make you look real haggard.\n\nYou get it for not sleeping well and not sleeping enough.\n\nThere're a few commercial products out there which help you reduce the size of the eyebags, but ultimately a healthy diet and good sleep is the best option.\n\nA random home-remedy-thingum that i found;\n\nWell, this is the easiest remedy I’ve ever run across, and it really works!\n\nI was so surprised by the single kitchen-cupboard ingredient that this How-To calls for--it's not a cucumber, and you’re sure to have one on hand. Find out the secret here:\n\nRaw potato slices will help tighten baggy, puffy eyes. All you need is a potato and a knife or slicer!\n\nTo Make:\n\n1. Slice 1/4 potato to fit over your eyes.\n\n2. Cut 2 slices or, if you prefer, 5 to 10 very thin slices, several for each eye. Either method works.\n\nTo Use:\n\n1. Spritz eye area with water.\n\n2. Lying down, place the potato slices on your eyelids and leave in place for at least 10 minutes for best results.

Here are somethings that can cause this problem.\n\n1. Lack of sleep.\n2. Inherited condition having a family with the kind of skin that makes dark circles more likely.\n3. Fluid retention which causes puffiness that may cast shadows.\n4. Aging which thins and relaxes the skin around the eyes.\n\nDark eye circles - treatments and remedies \n\n1. Powdered fenugreek and milk are said to tackle dark circles. Apply a paste of fenugreek mixed in milk on dark circles in the night. Wash off in the morning and watch dark circles vanish for good.\n\n2. Freeze grated cucumber. Massage the grated cucumber ice cubes on the eyes. \n\n3. Soak cotton wool in cucumber juice or potato juice & apply around the eyes.\n\n4. For eye puffiness, any tea bag (herbal is better, especially eyebright), slightly cooled, placed on the eyes while you rest.\n\n5. To lighten dark circles under your eyes, wrap a grated raw potato in cheesecloth and apply to eyelids for 15-20 minutes. Rinse with warm water.\n\n6. The best overall eye tonic is eyebright (an herb). Make a tea of it and either use the teabags or soak cotton balls or soft gauze in the tea and apply to eyes as a compress while lying down.

First, try correcting naturally- get at least 7+ hours of sleep each night and up your water intake to at least 8+ glasses a day.\n\nApplying foundation makeup or concealers with a yellow base is the best way to conceal dark circles under the eyes\n\nI would also talk to a specialist at a profession cosmetic counter like Lancome or Estee Lauder, they will most likely be able to help find a solution for bags under the eyes. \n\nAlso, depending on your age and the amount of damage, there is always minor surgery to remove the extra damaged skin under the eyes- but I would not recommend this unless you are 40+ and the damage is significant. If not, try the OTC remedies, ample sleep and extra water.
