Possible Ways to Manage Dark Circles
While the management of dark circles largely depends on the cause, simple lifestyle changes may result in improvement. Proper hydration, staying out of the sun and eating a well-balanced diet may have some effect but isn't conclusive.
Other methods to manage dark circles can include chemical peels, surgical implants of fat, laser surgery and medical tattoos. In these cases, only the symptoms can be managed. Masking the dark circles with concealers may be a person's best recourse if medical intervention isn't possible.4‘Dark Circles Under Eyes Causes.’ Mayo Clinic - Mayo Clinic, www.mayoclinic.org/symptoms/dark-circles-under-eyes/basics/causes/sym-20050624?p=1
