These both are tried and tested by me and works.😊

1. Don't throw those tea bags after making tea. Let it cool in the refrigerator and then keep it on the eyes. You can continue this even after getting rid of dark circles as it is good to relax.

2. Apply Almond oil around eyes before going to bed. You can see the results within one month. Remember that the Almond oil should be pure and doesn't contain any walnuts.
