Another cause of dark circles is the natural aging process. As you age, there is a loss of fat and collagen that causes your skin to thin.

Use aloe vera

What I prefer is to use the gel extracted from the plant itself because it is fresh. If you have an aloe plant at home ( if you don’t, try growing one!) take a bit of the leaf and scoop out the gel gently. Apply this gel directly with a drop or two of water around your eyes. You will find instant relief for the tired eyes. Aloevera is soothing. Dab just a bit around the eyes and let it dry before you sleep. and if you really lazy you can also try the products I have mentioned above.
