Dark circles are a major cause of concern for many people. Dark circles under the eyes can be seen in both men and women. Dark circles can not only add a few years to your face, but it is also a sign of fatigue and less sleep. So if dark circles are a major cause of concern for you, here are some ways you can definitely reduce them.

How to reduce dark circles?

1. Beauty sleep

One of the easiest ways to reduce dark circles or get rid of them is to get enough sleep. Sleeplessness is one of the biggest contributors to dark circles. So a minimum of 8 hours of sleep can definitely be the best remedy to get rid of dark circles.

2. Apply a cold compress

The application of a cold compress is another solution to reduce those dark circles. Take a washcloth and add a few ice cubes and wrap it up. Take this cold compress and gently ad it under the eyes. This will reduce the puffiness and eliminate the dark circles. You can also do the same with a washcloth dipped in cold water instead of ice.
