Suggest Treatment For Periorbital Dark Circles

I seem to be developing darkness below my eye lids
...I tried putting cucumbers with a little dab of lemon juice, however it doesn't help, and the darkness seems to be getting worse. I don't think it is due to age, I am 55 yrs old, however I am a little concerned. Is there a home remedy that might help?

Hi,

As per your complain periorbital dark circles can occur due to causes like:

-Excessive stress
-Malnutrition
-Overuse of mobiles and laptops
-Sleep deprivation
-Allergies

I would suggest you to first of all reduce stress by doing meditation and breathing exercises. Take sufficient sleep, and avoid excess use of gadgets. You can start applying creams containing Kojic acid and Vitamin E. Grapeseed extract containing creams are helpful.

You can also put pieces of cucumber over the closed eyes as it has soothing effects. You can also place grated potato over the eyes. Take multivitamin supplements. Drink plenty of water and take a nutritious diet. In case of no improvement consult a dermatologist and get evaluated and he can also advised laser treatment for removing the dark circles.

Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further

Thanks and regards,
Dr. Honey Nandwani Arora
