Cucumber is, by far, the most applied home remedies to get rid of under eye dark circles. Many researches have found that cucumber contains various antioxidants such as cucurbitacins, vitexin, orientin and isoscoparin, not to mention vitamin C and vitamin K that help reduce discoloration under eyes. The antioxidants in cucumber seem to help reduce the inflammation causing puffiness under eyes, as well as the dark circles. When you place chilled cucumber slices on your closed eyes, the cool temperature helps in easing out the puffiness by reducing accumulation of fluid under eyes.
Ways to Use Cucumber for Dark Circles
Take a chilled cucumber and cut it in round slices. Lie down and close your eyes. Place a cucumber slice on each of your eyes. Once the slice looses its cold temperature, take fresh slices and place them on your eyes. Do this for about 10-15 minutes. You may also grind a cucumber and take out its juice. Apply this under and around your eyes with the help of a cotton ball. Mix lemon juice with cucumber juice to make it some more effective. The natural bleaching properties of lemon will help reduce darkness of skin under your eyes.
