Lack of sleep, allergies, too much salt or alcohol and harsh environmental conditions can result in sleepy, irritated eyes. Eye gel packs and cucumber based gels and pads work great, but if you need a quick "de-puff" you may only have to reach as far as the fridge or medicine cabinet: \n\n* Slice of Life Throw on a couple of cool cucumber slices on your eyes and relax for a few. Cucumbers are loaded with nutrients including Vitamin C and will add an instant freshness to your face. \n\n* "Eyes" Tea Soothe with the healing power of Chamomile or Herbal Tea bags. Dip the tea bags in cold water and place on your eyes for about 15-20 minutes. \n\n* Potato Your Peepers Boiled not baked. Let it cool off till it's slightly warm. Slice and place on your eyes. Potatoes contain a high content of starch, which reduces puffiness and redness. \n\n* Witchy Woman Soak a couple of cotton pads in Witch Hazel and place on the eyes for about 15 minutes to reduce inflamed eyelids and help lighten dark circles. \n\n* A Little Preparation Who Knew! Dabbing on a small amount of Preparation H shrinks the baggage under your eyes too. (Hey, beauty pageant queens do it!) Just be careful not to get it in your eyes. \n\nYou can also dive in your make-up bag for a quick cure. Applying a white liner or shadow in the crease of your eyelids will instantly widen the appearance of your eyes. If you want to diminish dark circles apply a concealer that has an orange tint, this will neutralize the blue that makes you look sleepy. \n\nHere's a list of suggested products that will brighten up tired eyes. \n\nHydra-Firming Eye Gel with elastisome®\nLocks in 40% more moisture all day!\nFind out more, click here. \n\nAlpha Hydrox Multi-Performance Therapy Cream With the help of antioxidants and alpha-hydroxy acids diminishes puffiness and dark circles under the eyes. Available at drugstores \n\nBeneFit Eye Lift Contains botanicals and plant extracts. Works to minimize the appearance of puffy eyes. Available at most department stores \n\nDu Wop Two Italian Girls "i gels" Soft cool eye gels that come in three different formulas. Each are infused with botanicals and essential oils to diminish under-eye darkness and puffiness. To order call 1-800-600-3458 \n\nPond's Cucumber Eye Treatments Pads are moistened with natural anti-inflammatory agents, including cucumber extract, to soothe and calm tired eyes.

Drink more water and get more sleep. You could also try putting used tea bags, cucumbers, or a ziploc baggie of cold water on your eyes for a while.

Total darkness might help.  A sleep mask can be very helpful.  I've used one for 12 years and highly recommend it.

I suffer(ed) from the same problem!\n\nFirstly dark circles starts to show if you get (1)little sleep and (2)have poor diet. \nSO I asked what's the problem with me... I sleep the recommended and mostly more than what is enough. My diet is more healthy than normal civilized people-i eat loads of fruit+veg, drink 2 liters of water, get Omega 3&6 fatty acids in and the vital minerals... so why do I have?\nI'm one of those unlucky people that have it in our DNA, which is another question.\n\nokay... now:\n\nThe best that you can do is: Try to drink 2 Liters of water everyday, get an Omega 3&6 supplement and maybe an Vitamin&mineral supplement. PLus you should try to get just a hour more of sleep.\n\nI use a natural Tissue salt which is an anti-inflammatory> speeds and keeps dark circles away. The Tissue salt to take is Ferrum Phos(Anti-Inflammatory.)\n\nA tip from people whom uses drug(I don't use, and never used) and the TV is before you go to work/school or whatever:  use shot glasses, cooled in the fridge, and press the cooled shot glasses to the areas under your eye for a minute or less. This helps with blood flow.\n\nGood luck, hope you get those damn dark circles gone!

I have it too. I've had it for 6 years and I'm always on the look out for a cure. Medically, there is nothing you can do. However if you're interested in Alternative Medicine; I've been doing Chinenes Medicine for a few months. Some spots have gone away and the progression has stopped.

I had this problem about 10 years ago.  The options i was given at the time was:\n\n1.  Drops to put in my eyes everyday.. everyday or the problem would come back.  It was just like a temporary fix.\n\n2. or have surgery.  I had the surgery and i am glad i did.\n\nI wish you the best of luck.  ~~~  Oh, and keep your hands away from your eyes, use a clean tissue, if not you could get it infected.

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.

the black eyes are often a combination of lack of iron and lack of sleep you should take a food supplement containing ginseng which you can buy at most chemists  also if your not sleeping try reading a book and go to bed at 9;30 each night an read till about ten this gives your body a relaxed sense and really works for me if this doesnt work leave a question in my inbox  chl_farrell@yahoo.com

Home remedy for dark circle eye.\n\nClose your eyes and cover eyelids with slices of raw potato or cucumber for 15-20 minutes. Wash with warm water and apply a cream.\nGrate a cucumber, squeeze to take out its juice and refrigerate. Make a mixture of lemon juice, lanolin cream and cucumber juice and apply around the eye for 10-15 minutes.\nDip some cotton in a 1:1 mixture of potato and cucumber juices. Put the cotton on your eyelids and keep for 20 minutes. Wash your eyes with cold water.\nApply a mixture of lemon and tomato juice (equal parts) on the black circles 2 times a day.\nApply a paste of turmeric powder with pineapple juice for dark circles under the eyes.\nApply crushed mint around the eye.\nMassage with almond oil under and around eyes at bed time daily for 2 weeks and see the improvement. Almond helps to remove dark circles, and is an excellent "skin food".\nRemove the cream applied around the eye after 10 min. No cream should be left on the skin around the eyes for long periods.\nRub the area with a powdered Vitamin E capsule and wipe off with a mixture of honey and egg white.\nPut hot and cold clothes alternatively under eyes for 10 minutes. Then apply some almond oil on the dark surface before going to bed.\nThe acuupressure point for eyses is on the mount below the index finger of your palms. Pressing this mount may help.

Some people just naturally have darkness around their eyes. (I don't understand why people call them dark circles when they're not really circles) In this case, getting more sleep or eating better isn't going to help things, and neither will so-called "skin brighteners". The only thing that will really help is under-eye concealer. Use a shade slightly lighter than your skin tone, and set it with powder so it will last through the day.\n\nAs a last resort, if yours are really bad, they also have laser treatments available to lighten the skin in that area.

Um well I dont know about a scientific explanation for why you get them or how to get rid of them, but make sure you're getting enough sleep and drink plenty of water!  There are some eye creams you can use that disguise the black circles.  Also, try cutting back on caffeine for a while too and see if that helps!

you can try some eye drops...it will sting when you first use it, but will offer relief.  also, just get a cool pack, or a cool wet rag and turn the lights off and put it on your eyes....just take a deep breath and relax.  soon you will fall asleep and you will feel better.  your eyes will be puffy in the morning...cool cucumbers will help reduce the puffiness...also try something like preperation H under your eyes to reduce puffiness.  Sorry to hear you're having problems....we all go through it!  Just try and remember that things will get better...just relax and take a deep breath and remember the good things in your life.

It's actually caused by tiny blood vessels.  The skin under the eye is so thin it shows through.  There are over the counter cosmetic creams that can get rid of under eye circles.  Some people say putting slices of cucumbers on your closed eyes for a few minutes works too.  I haven't ever tried that, though.  You can also try getting more sleep.
