New Year's Day brunch with the family is a sweet tradition—until you're reminded every year that you've agreed to pick up Grandma just a few short hours after you plan to hit the sack. Replenish your energy with plenty of water, bananas, and eggs, but (skip the hair of the dog treatment—you'll only feel worse later) and perk up your skin with these at-home remedies for dark under eye circles:
- A used, cold tea bag (this is soothing, too)
- Cucumber slices
- Mix lemon juice, cucumber juice, and lanolin cream; apply under eyes for 15 minutes
- Freeze cucumber juice and hold the cubes under eyes
- Crush mint leaves and apply for 20 minutes
- Mix tumeric powder and pineapple juice; apply under eyes
Getting rid of dark circles in the long term means getting enough sleep and including plenty of iron and vitamins E and C in your diet; regular applications of the recipes above will help, too.
