Staring at your mobile phones, computers, and laptops do not only affect your eyes. Long hours in front of gadgets can suffer your eyes, which can lead to eye stress and dark circles. If you cannot avoid this habit, you will need to relax your eye muscles and improve blood circulation. Simply cup your eyes in your palms for 5 minutes every hour to lessen the stress of your eye muscles.

Dark under-eye circles cannot be treated overnight. But it does not also take a month to get rid of it. The results of beauty remedies at home for your dark circles under your eyes can have a lasting effect if you will avoid the factors I have mentioned.
Incorporate a balanced diet and regular workout to free your body from stress. Yoga or meditation a few times a week, is my resort to change my lifestyle gradually. It does not improve the dark under-eye circles but the overall physical, emotional, and mental health.
