How to Remove Dark Circles Permanently
- 1). Revise your sleep schedule to ensure six to eight hours of deep uninterrupted sleep. Without adequate rest, the skin cannot heal and revitalize itself. Lack of sleep also results in an increased level of stress hormones, which may cause circles to swell and darken.
- 2). Remove excess caffeine, alcohol and sweets from your diet. Large amounts of these three items may deplete healthy hormones (namely aldosterone, a balancer of sodium and potassium levels) produced by your adrenal glands and increase the puffiness of your face and circles. Choose unrefined, organic and sugar-free items instead.
- 3). Take a ginseng supplement. Ginseng helps revive adrenal glands and increase the production of aldosterone and other skin-improving hormones.
- 4). Make natural compresses. When placed over the eyes for 15-20 minutes, chilled potato and cucumber slices will help reduce swelling and increase blood circulation. Rinse your eyes with cool water and pat your face dry when finished with the application.
- 5). Stay hydrated. Well-hyrdrated skin is healthy skin, so be sure to consume at least 64 ounces of water a day--more on the days that you are physically active.
- 6). Apply a naturally pigmented concealer to help fade your dark circles until they disappear. This will help cloak your circles until the remedies listed above begin to show effect.
