Dark circles can dread the hell out of you, especially when you are the to-be bride and there's only a little time left in your wedding. But hey, we always have a rescue plan for all the brides out there. Straight from paying more attention to your skin, to incorporating all those miracle foods in your diet for that much-needed glow and taking at least 8 hours of beauty sleep, a lot can be done to shoo away those pesky dark circles.

We’ve got you some easy-peasy tricks and remedies that’ll surely help you bid adieu to exhausted eyes.

1. Eat Clean

Believe it or not, how your face glows has got a lot to do with what you eat. So if you eat more and more of junk, now you know that those annoying dark circles didn’t just come out of thin air. And the best way to deal with it is eating clean. Incorporate more and more of citrus fruits and leafy veggies in your diet, not just to get that extra glow but to improve your blood circulation too.

2. Take Beauty Sleep *Eyemask on*

With your wedding being around the corner, you often get too busy making all the bookings and carting your wedding essentials that you don’t get enough time to sleep. And inadequate sleep further results in giving you pesky dark circles-which you obviously don’t want days before your big day. So, don’t ever compromise on your beauty sleep.

3. Aloe vera gel is the miracle you need

When you can’t find anything else, try your favorite aloe gel. It’s the ultimate solution to almost all your skincare problems. It contains vitamin-e oils and nourishing properties that can help reduce puffiness under your eyes. All you have to do is not skip and keep trying it religiously for a week.

4. No Makeup in Bed

Sleeping with your makeup on is like punishing your skin. Because when you sleep with your eye makeup, it clogs your pores which further leaves you with bumps and puffy eyes. Hence, it is always suggested to clean your makeup first and then go to bed.

5. Used tea bags for your eye bags

Why throw away your used tea bags when they can very well be put to use? Just keep them in the refrigerator and freeze them for 10-15 mins. Once they’re freezing cold, take them out and put them over your eyes for some time. Repeat the same activity every day for a week and you’ll see the difference.

6. Gentle oil massage

Put some good amount of almond oil and coconut oil in a bowl. Mix them well and then, with the help of your hands, massage it underneath your eyes. Try this procedure every night for a week and see the desired result. FYI, coconut oil is rich in Vitamin E and therefore can moisturize your under-eye skin well. On the other hand, Almond oil is rich in Vitamin K and easily help you get rid of those pesky dark circles.

7. Freshly grated potato for panda eyes

Take one medium-sized potato and shred it with the help of a grater. Collect the grated potato in a bowl and freeze it in the refrigerator for a couple of minutes. Potato contains an enzyme called catecholase that can help in lightening your skin tone and dark spots (since it has natural bleaching properties).

8. Ice pack works great too!

A nice ice pack can give your eyes just the needed relief by reducing the inflammation of the blood vessels. Wrap a few ice cubes in a cotton cloth and gently dab it under your eyes. Repeat the activity twice or thrice. But make sure you go easy since the area around the eyes is very sensitive.

9. Cool down with Cucumber

You remember your mommy turning into a zombie with that multani mitti pack and cucumber slices on her eyelids?  Well, that’s exactly what you’ve got to do. Just take a few slices of cucumber and freeze them in the refrigerator for a few hours. And then cover your eyes with those cool cucumber slices for 5-10 mins. Repeat the same activity over and over for a week and see how your dark circles vanish.
