You can try applying cold compresses for ten minutes daily to reduce puffiness and immediate darkness. Using an eye cream containing caffeine, vitamin C, or mild retinoids can gradually brighten the skin and improve circulation. Apply a high-factor sunscreen on your under-eye area daily to help prevent further darkening from sun exposure. Additionally, get adequate sleep, stay well-hydrated, and maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins and iron.

You can help reduce dark circles by getting enough sleep, staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet, protecting your skin from the sun with sunscreen, and using a moisturiser regularly. If they persist, a dermatologist can suggest topical treatments containing vitamin C, retinoids, or niacinamide to help fade the darkness over time.
I have developed a rash under my eyes. What could be causing it, and how can it be treated?
Dr S Aneela

A rash under the eyes can be caused by several factors, including allergic reactions to cosmetics, soaps, or pollen, irritation from rubbing or environmental factors, or infections. Try to avoid known triggers, keep the area clean and moisturised with a gentle cream, and use over-the-counter antihistamines or mild corticosteroid creams if recommended by a doctor. If the rash persists or worsens, please consult your doctor for targeted treatment.
I have had dark circles under my eyes for the past six months. I have been taking Khadirarishta, Kayakalp Vati, and applying Moiste aloe vera cream for 45 days, but there is little improvement. What should I do?

Dark circles may be caused by lack of sleep, stress, allergies, iron deficiency, or genetics, and your current medicines may not address the underlying cause. Maintain good sleep, a balanced diet, and proper hydration, and use sunscreen and a moisturiser regularly. If your dark circles persist, it is best to see a dermatologist who can evaluate the cause and may recommend vitamin C or retinoid creams to help brighten the skin.
