Washcloth Compress for Dark Circles Under The Eyes

Some of the remedies discussed above involve cold compresses in various forms. If you don't want to use metal spoons or the like, simply soak a small washcloth in cold water, squeeze out the excess and then lay it over your eyes. Keep the compress there for at least five minutes.

Cold compresses work because they constrict the blood vessels and, therefore, turn the skin tissue white (like pressing your finger to your skin and it leaving a white mark). This will help to lessen the dark marks around your eyes but it is only a temporary fix. For long-term results, you need to open the vessels rather than constrict them.
