Can toothpaste remove dark circles?

Generally speaking, toothpaste cannot treat dark circles. If used improperly, it may even cause certain damage to the skin and eyes. To remove dark circles, you must take the right approach. In daily life, there are many small home remedies that can effectively remove dark circles. Below, I will introduce to you in detail several more effective remedies for removing dark circles.

1. Alternate hot and cold towels to apply to the eyes

Immediately after waking up in the morning, apply a hot towel that is not much hotter than your body temperature to your eyes, and then switch to a cooled towel. It will take about 10 minutes for your dark circles to fade by half. Because most dark circles are caused by lack of sleep, which leads to abnormal blood circulation around the eyes, resulting in melanin deposition.

2. Cucumber Hydrating Eye Mask

Cucumber eye mask can make the skin brighter and is very suitable for late night use. Chop the cucumber and mix it with yogurt. Then use 2 green tea bags and add the mixed cucumber to them. Put it in the refrigerator for 5 minutes, then take out the ice pack and place it on the upper part of the eyes for about 10 minutes.

3. Do more eye massages and drink enough water before going to bed

People who are prone to dark circles should exercise more, or do facial and eye massages frequently to help local blood circulation in the facial skin, and try to eat less salty or spicy food. Eating too much heavy-tasting food and drinking too much water before going to bed can cause eye edema and bags under the eyes.

4. Apply tea leaves to your eyes

Applying used tea leaves on your eyes can help remove dark circles. Stay up late less often. If conditions permit, after staying up late, wrap two or three ice cubes in plastic wrap, fold a towel in half and cover your eyelids with it, then place the ice cubes on top. Using frozen tea bags or cotton pads soaked in frozen milk can also reduce swelling and calm the nerves.

5. Honey olive oil to remove dark circles

Mix honey and olive oil together and stir evenly. After cleaning your face, apply a hot towel to the skin around your eyes first, then use a cotton swab to dip the mixture and apply it evenly to the skin around your eyes. After five minutes, rinse with clean water. Honey and olive oil can not only remove bags under the eyes, but also moisturize the skin around the eyes and relieve dryness around the eyes. Because drinking too much water before going to bed can easily lead to dark circles and bags under the eyes the next day. Therefore, beauty experts recommend that you drink as little water as possible three hours before going to bed.
