Dark circles under your eyes can be quite the eyesore. Fortunately, there are a number of remedies you can use to help minimize the appearance of those pesky dark circles under your eyes.

1. Switch your Sleep Position

If you notice that your dark circles are most prominent in the morning, consider switching your sleep position. Sleeping on your side or stomach causes fluids to collect under your eyes because of gravity, try to sleep on your back using an extra pillow.

2. Protect your Eyes from UV Rays

Dark circles are sometimes caused by increased pigment from sun damage. Overexposure to the sun can also make the skin around your eyes wrinkle or sag. When exposure to the sun’s UV radiation is unavoidable, use sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats to protect the skin under your eyes from these rays.

3. Reduce Salt Intake

A tell-tale sign of a sodium-high diet is puffiness around the face — especially under the eyes. Salt causes your body to retain water, and water retention subsequently leads to puffiness around the body, usually affecting the extremities, belly and face. The skin under your eyes is particularly susceptible to swelling as it is very thin.

 4. Use Retinol Cream

If the cause of your dark circles is thin skin, consider using a retinol cream. Retinol, also known as vitamin A, helps stimulate the production of collagen that will make the skin under your eyes less thin and dark.

5. Take an Antihistamine If You Have Allergies

Many people don’t realize that their dark circles are because of allergies. Allergies and puffy eyes often appear together. If you have allergies, try using an antihistamine to dry up those puffy eyes.

6. Sleep More

The cheapest of solutions for dark circles is more sleep. This might also be the most effective remedy as fatigue is the most common cause of dark circles under your eyes. Turn in early and aim for 7-8 hours of sleep a night.
