Massage with a natural oil

Almond oil, castor oil and coconut oil all have skin-lightening properties that work like a charm on dark circles. Take a small amount of any of these oils and massage with your fingers in a circular motion. This helps regulate blood flow and brighten the eye area.

 

Make a cooling eye mask

Grate a cucumber and half a potato and squeeze the water out it. Mix some aloe vera gel to it and apply on your eyes. Potato and cucumber juices do a stellar job in lightening the dark circles and soothing eyes, while aloe vera provides moisture and de-puffs sore eyes. Apply this mask for 15 minutes twice a day. Putting cold tea bags on your eyes for 10 minutes works wonders too.
