Treatment of dark circles around the eyes in 3 steps:
1. Eliminate the causes
-There are several causes behind dark circles. Follow the below instructions to protect and prevent yourself from dark circles, but the instructions are not effective in case of dark circles due to heredity or aging.
-Take enough sleep and always remember that sleep efficiency is determined by quality rather than quantity, meaning that 6 hours of deep sleep is better than 12 hours of intermittent or non-deep sleep. Also remember that the regularity of the time of going to sleep and that of waking helps to control the internal clock of the body, which allow for a deeper sleep.
-Allergy may be the cause of the appearance of black circles. Sinus problems should not be left untreated. They are considered one of the most common causes of black circles. If you are not diagnosed yet, see your doctor.
-Adhere to a balanced diet rich in minerals and vitamins while taking into account drinking enough water.

Also, you should reduce your daily salt consumption, increasing the salt may cause the retention of fluids in the body leading to the appearance of dark circles.
-Quit Smoking if you are a smoker, it affects the blood circulation and the veins under the eyes, so it leads to dark circles.
