1. Address the issue:

You may want to rule out any medical problem that may be causing your under eye area to become dark and puffy. Keep in mind that there are some medical conditions such as allergic reactions which might be causing the problem. If you also have fever, skin rash or difficulty in breathing you MUST CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY. If you know it is some kind of allergy then try eliminating it from your diet. Common food items which could be causing allergy are commercial pasteurized milk from hormone-treated cows, processed grains, fruits and veggies with residual pesticides. Watch out as allergies can also be caused by under eye creams or some mascaras. 

2. Enough sleep:

We all know that lack of sleep can cause your eyes to appear swollen, puffy and not so appealing! The science behind it is that lack of sleep can make your skin appear paler thereby allowing blood vessels to be more prominently visible through the skin giving the appearance of bluish or dark circles. So try to get yourself 6-7 hours of undisturbed sleep.

3. Natural remedies:

Fortunately there are a lot of natural remedies for dark circles and puffiness present at your home. And the best part is that these are super easy and very less time consuming so you can take a few minutes off from your busy daily schedule to look beautiful:) You may wana try some of these and I hope they will be helpful:

• Cool Cucumber slices
• A cotton ball dipped in potato juice
• Crushed mint leaves
• A teaspoon of tomato and lime juice
• Leave small amount of castor oil overnight
• Cool teabags

Just apply any of the above on your eyes and hopefully you will see the dark circles reducing and finally gone.

4. Iron deficiency:

You may sometimes notice a bluish tinge underneath your eyes due to iron deficiency. Other symptoms of lack of iron in your diet include pale skin, shortness of breath, increased heart rate, fatigue, dizziness etc. If you have any two of these symptoms you MUST visit your doctor ASAP!

Don't stress, drink plenty of water, avoid oil based cosmetics, don't sleep with your makeup on and eat more alkaline foods such as green vegetables, cilantro, mint etc. Keeping these few simple points in mind will surely help you to reduce your under eye dark circles and make your skin look young and fresh!
