Most of the dark circles under the eyes is not due to a congenital factor but most probably caused by a postnatal factor. The formation of these dark eyes circles is related to our habits and lifestyle.
People who always stay up late, smoke, improper clean up of make-up around the eyes, or the pillow is placed too low while sleeping are some of the common reasons that lead to the formation of the dark eye circles. Here is some top tips help combat the annoyance of dark eye circles.
Applying honey
After washing your face, do not dry out the water from your face but let it dry naturally. Then, apply some fresh royal jelly honey around the eyes’ areas. Next, gently massage the areas with your palm in a clockwise direction for few minutes; be careful not to hurt your eyes. Wash your face with clean water after 10 minutes. Lastly, apply the chemical free facial cream. Repeat the steps everyday until the dark eyes circles have disappeared from your face.
Applying yogurt
Dip the gauze with some yogurt and spread it around the eyes. Do this each time for ten minutes.
Massaging With A Hot Egg
Boil the egg until it is cooked thoroughly. Take out its shell and wrap it with a soft towel. Lie down and close your eyes. Use the hot egg to massage around the eyes. It helps to accelerate the blood circulation around the eyes. Does this a few times till the dark eyes circles have faded away.
Applying Apple Rings
Cut some juicy apple rings and spread the rings around the eyes for approximately 15 minutes. Repeat it few times till the dark eyes circles disappeared.
Applying Potato Rings
Peel the potato and cut it into rings with a thickness of 2cm each. Spread around the eyes for 5 minutes each time. Repeat the steps if necessary.

These are great tips- Applying cold cucumber slices also help with the dark circles and the puffiness as well.

To Michelle,
Yes, it’ll help to reduce and relieve your heavy eye bags or dark eye rings. Since you’ve suffered from this problem for about 2 years, it’ll definitely take some time to cure them.
I hope this helps. Take care.
