Your eyes shine so bright, but these dark circles beneath, robs you off your beauty. Do you think that putting up late to finish the quarterly reporting, or watching late night movies, or working on the laptop for a long time is the reason, then you are very wrong.

Mostly these dark under eye circles are nothing but mere bruises. To elaborate it biologically is our skin under the eye is thinnest and we have innumerable blood capillaries passing through it. The red blood cells line up and often result in leak capillaries causing the bruise. It is the combination of capillaries near the surface and the translucent skin that makes the discoloration so apparent. And that is the reason why your dark circles stare back at you in the mirror.

However research suggests that dark circles can sometimes be hereditary too. The lack of basic nutrients and balanced diet too might cause discoloration of the skin under the eye.

Some of the handy tips to reduce these dark circles:

• You can put slices of cucumber on the eyes and keep lying down for some time. It helps in reducing the blemishes and also gives a feeling of freshness.

• Often use of tea bags on the eyes help a lot. Take a used tea bag, squeeze them out and put it on the eyes. It helps in reducing the puffiness and reduces the dark circle.

• Gentle massage with almond or saffron oil before going to bed to get good results.

• Dip cotton pads in rose water or cold milk, then put it on your eyes. Lie down straight with the cotton pads on the eyes and the feet raised higher than your head for 10 mins. It often gives good results.

• Usage of various night creams and under eye ointments sometimes proves useful.

Practice them in a combination of one or two; you will definitely get rewarding results.
