Since last 16 years I have dark circles around my eyes.Which is bothering me a lot.When I was in my 20 s I neglected eating as I was indulged in smoking empty stomach I used to eat once in a day.Even now I skip lunch but couple of years ago it disappeared though there is stress in my job because it is an Marketing job and I have to be in the field. I also wear spectacle. For remedy I have used under eye gels and sometimes used cucumber but temporarily it vanished.Kindly advice what to be done.

Hi there...Mild to moderate dark circles often respond well to simple and inexpensive treatments...Try a cold compress, two chilled teaspoons or a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a soft cloth to temporarily reduce dilated and discolored under-eye blood vessels....Elevate your head with two or more pillows to prevent puffiness that develops when fluid pools in your lower eyelids.....Although short nights don't usually cause under-eye circles, a lack of sleep makes you paler and more hollow-eyed, so shadows and circles you already have become more obvious...Consult dermatologist for further help.
