#HealthBytes: Try these remedies at home to eliminate dark circles

They say a good night's sleep is essential to rejuvenate your body and to effectively go about day-to-day activities.

The same is the case for healthy-looking eyes as well.

Lack of sleep causes under-eye bags, thus making existing dark circles more prominent.

Make sure to get 7-8 hours of sound sleep every night, to reduce dark circles and to keep puffy eyes at bay.

Massage coconut oil around your eyes, every night.

Alternatively, applying a mixture of almond oil and honey eliminates stubborn dark circles and works well on crow's feet.

Separately, refrigerate a creamy mixture of milk and baking soda for 30 minutes. Apply around your eyes and wash off when dry.

Your eyes will appear fresh and regular application will fade away dark circles as well.

It is important to dab on sunscreen, every single time you step out.

This protects your skin from the harmful UV rays which cause skin damage.

After applying the SPF sunscreen, moisturize your face and the gentle area around your eyes as well.

At night, remove your makeup, cleanse your face and apply a light eye cream. Top it off with a moisturizer.

Further, antioxidants present in coffee also helps in treating puffy eyes, eye bags and dark circles.

Make a scrub with coffee powder and honey. Gently apply around your eyes.

You can either wash it off in 30 minutes or leave it overnight for maximum results.

You can also refrigerate used tea bags for 10 minutes and place them on your eyes.
