Hi Beautiful, if you are reading this, you are probably struggling with dark circles. You tried it all: sleep better, you drink enough water, and more. But nothing is helping with your dark circles. I would like to welcome you because there are a lot of us in this situation.
So, I tested many DIY recipes to get rid of dark circles and I share with you the ones that work in this blog post. You can do these at home and keep them in your refrigerators, but reuse them within couple of days.
First, do not believe the stories about getting rid of dark circles overnight. Your skin might be brighter or the appearance of the dark circles might be better. Also, lots of DIY work best when you have some puffiness; they tighten the skin, but do not get rid of the dark circles overnight.
Second, if you want to see real result, you have to include the DIYs that work in your skin care routine and do them on a regular basis. It is the same with many natural skin care products that give effective results, it takes a little bit of time for them to work.
Third, do not apply any products until you tested on your skin to make sure you are not allergic.
Here are 3 DIY recipes for dark circles:

Dark circles and or puffiness is also due to blood being stuck under our eyes, it is important to massage this area to help circulation. Sweet almond oil contains phytosterols, Vitamin E, and niacinamide (the biologically active form of niacin); these are effective at lightening skin.
For your facial massage with almond oil, mix:
1 Tbsp of sweet almond oil
2 drops of vitamin E
1 drop of Rosemary Essential oil
Mix well and use some cotton ball to massage the skin around your eyes. I love doing with my night skin care routine. I cleanse my face apply this DIY and then apply my moisturizer on the other parts of my face. Use very gentle motion here!
#2: Cucumber honey paste

Scoop some paste and put it on one cotton pad for each eye.
Then, place them over your dark circles for around 10 minutes. When the time is up, wash the area with a lot of water.
I am sure you are already picturing yourself like those women on Hollywood movies who are relaxing at the spa with cucumber slices on their eyes.
