Best Home Remedy To Remove Dark Circles Fast

   

 If you are here, you have probably tried every popular remedy over the internet to cure your dark circles. But it looks like nothing worked for you yet. Today, I will tell you about a tried and tested home remedy that's not only effective but will also give you visible results in just three weeks (no fake promise here). 

This home remedy that I will be sharing with you guys will not only solve the problem of your dark circles but will also cater to other issues too like dark eyelids, sunken eyes, etc. Without too much of talking any further, let's get started.

This home remedy consists of two steps:

1. Using the eye pack/mask

2. Using the serum 

Let's dig in the process of making these two:

DIY Eye Pack/Eye-Mask 

There are 2 ways to create this soothing and miraculous eye mask. You can go with whichever one you prefer because both of them are going to be equally effective.

Eye-Mask Option 1

Take one cup of mint leaves, wash them well, and make a paste out of it using pestle & mortar. Take 2 teaspoons of this paste in a bowl.  Now take a cucumber and grate it. Extract the juice out of this grated cucumber. Now add 4 teaspoons of this juice into the mint leaves paste. Now add 1/4 teaspoon of wild turmeric (kasturi haldi) and mix all these ingredients well. 

While you are mixing them in the bowl, separate the liquid content in a different bowl. Now take a small cotton ball and apply this liquid under your eyes or the problem area. You can also use your ring finger to apply this liquid.

When you will apply this, you might feel a tingling sensation due to the mint and that's a good sign - the mint/liquid is working. This liquid helps in stimulating blood circulation under your eyes and the dark circles will eventually fade.

Once you have applied the liquid, it's now time to apply the mint paste. Put a thick layer of the paste on the affected area and let it rest for at least 15 minutes. 

Mint will help in blood circulation, turmeric will remove the discoloration from under the eyes, and cucumber will give you a soothing effect and bleach out the dark skin mildly.

Eye-Mask Option 2

Grate one full cucumber and extract the juice out of it and add 1/2 teaspoon wild turmeric into this. Mix it well. Now take another cucumber and cut it two from the middle part. Now start slicing very fine pieces of cucumber from the middle part. Dip the slices into the juice/pack and store this in the fridge for at least 4-5 hours.

Now every night, take out two slices from the pack and place them under your eyes. Turmeric will lighten the dark under eyes and cucumber will soothe your puffy eyes and boost blood circulation. Because of refrigerating, this will work as a cold compress and help you get rid of hollow eyes too.

DIY Eye Serum

After applying the eye mask, you need to follow it up by applying a serum. Here are the two options for preparing the serum. You can choose whichever you like.

Eye Serum Option 1

Take a handful of mint leaves and make a paste out of it using pestle & mortar. Now extract the juice out of this paste in a bowl. Now grate a half medium-sized potato and extract the juice of out. Mix 3 teaspoons of mint leaves' juice in this. Add 1.5 teaspoons of sweet almond oil in this potato juice. To this add 2 teaspoons of cucumber gel. Now mix this well and your under-eye serum is ready that will reduce your dark circles, puffiness, hollow eyes, and sunken eyes. Yes, even your fine lines and wrinkles. 

Now apply this on your under eyes and massage it slowly. Potato juice has a mild bleaching property that will reduce your dark circle. Mint leaves' juice will boost your blood circulation and reduce puffiness and hollowness under your eyes. Almond oil has skin lightening properties that will reduce your dark circles and fine lines. After massaging, keep it overnight and let it sink into your skin completely. Wash this in the morning with normal water. 

Eye Serum Option 2

Take 2 teaspoons of sweet almond oil. To this add, 2-3 teaspoons of coffee powder. Caffeine present in coffee is a great antioxidant that shrinks the blood vessels under your eyes and reduces the puffiness and discoloration. Now add 1/4 teaspoon of wild turmeric powder. Turmeric powder is great to remove discoloration under the eyes. To get better and faster results, you can use turmeric essential oil. Turmeric essential oil will not only remove your dark circles faster and will be very effective in brightening up your skin. Now add 2 teaspoons of cucumber gel and mix all the ingredients very well. 

Your second serum is now ready to apply! This works great for dark circles, puffiness, lines and wrinkles, and hollowness. Now apply this serum under your eyes using your ring finger and gently massage it. 

Basics Before You Go

You can pair any mask with any serum mentioned here but the key to achieving great results lies in the following:

1. Consistency

Home remedies take months to show results. To see a visible difference, apply it every day for at least 3 to 6 weeks. 

2. Have a Sound Sleep

If you are not sleeping till late at night and spending most of the time in front of the tv or laptop or phone, this will impact your output. You need to sleep early and at least for 7-8 hours. Stop using your phone/laptop/tv one hour before you sleep so that you can sleep well.

3. Stay Hydrated

Drinking water is the most important step here. It will help you flush out all the toxins and provide you with all the minerals that your body needs.

Home remedies can seem tiresome to many out there. Making them fresh every time these have to be used is also a challenge at times.
