Some of the natural remedies for dark circles under the eyes that you will read about on the internet should be tried with caution, if at all. Remember, some of these home remedies are people’s own invention. Also remember that just because a compound occurs naturally does not mean it is safe. Menthol is a good example of this.
Menthol is a naturally occurring compound found in peppermint and other mint oils. It is relatively safe in small amounts. But in any amount, it will irritate the eyes.
One of the home remedies mentioned in an internet article suggests using Icy Hot to lighten dark circles. One of the active ingredients in all forms of Icy Hot is menthol. The concentration varies, as does the amount of irritation that can occur. But, plain and simple, the product is not designed for this use. It is designed for occasional use only as directed and the product’s warning labels include avoidance of contact with the eyes and mucous membranes.
Most of the natural remedies for dark circles under the eyes that you will read about are completely safe. But effectiveness varies. Anyone suffering from chronic under-eye darkness should take the time to evaluate their diet. A young person in relatively good health should not experience them. But they can occur due to poor dietary habits, especially in women.
Iron deficiencies cause them, as does any nutritional deficiency that affects the strength of blood vessels. The darkness is actually due to blood vessels leaking waste products into the thin layers of tissue under the eyes. Logically, nutrients that support the strength of blood vessels can be natural remedies for dark circles under the eyes. One of the nutrients that provide that benefit is Chrysin.
Chrysin is an antioxidant found in blue passionflower and other plants with a bluish color. It can be taken orally and is also present in some of the better under eye gels.
Be careful with eye gels that contain fragrances, whether natural essential oils like peppermint or artificial fragrances. They can still cause eye irritation. The irritation will eventually make the circle even darker.
Tea bags, citrus fruit slices and cold compresses are some of the other natural remedies for dark circles under the eyes that you could see. While it’s true that the cooling effect of those things can reduce puffiness and puffiness, it’s not likely to make the darkness go away.
There are some antioxidants in citrus fruits that have been found to be helpful in reducing dark areas by over 60%. But the antioxidants must be extracted from the fruit peels and concentrated to achieve that effect. In other words, you can’t do it in your kitchen.
While there are some products that you can easily make at home and expect more safety, you may want to leave the natural remedies for dark circles under the eyes to the experts. They know what they’re doing.
