Dark circles under eyes
Dear sir/mam,
I have dark circles around my eyes for about 3 years. My face doesn't look good because of this. It looks like I'm seek for a long time but actually I'm not. I'm not facing any health issues so far.
Currently I'm not using any chemical based cosmetics or any face wash. I wash face using chickpea flour.
I've tried several home remedies like Aloe vera gel, applied potato starch around eyes, cucumber slice and tomato juice but without getting any benefit from them.
My skin type seems normal but a bit rough and dry.

There is not a single cause for dark circles. And mostly these can be reduced though not completely faded away. Please consult me privately for prescription

Hello there! :)
Dark circles at your age could be due to various factors - it can be familial, associated with an allergy prone, sensitive skin, certain vitamin deficiencies and a hollowness around the eyes we call the ‘tear trough’
Treatment of dark circles hence depends on the right diagnosis and specific treatment of the underlying issue.
I would recommend a consultation with a dermatologist when you can, or, you can reach out to me for an online consult as well, I’ll be glad to help you.
