9. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apply 1 tablespoon under your eyes. Let it dry naturally. Apply twice daily. (It's good for so many other things, too! Rich in natural enzymes, apple cider vinegar helps break up mucus, aids your metabolism and increases the body’s uptake of important minerals and nutrients from our food. It also improves digestion and blood circulation and has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial properties that support healing around wounds and prevent the spread of bacteria. It can also work miracles for your skin, clearing blemishes and tightening skin, and can even serve as an effective hair conditioner.)

Sit for 15 minutes and rinse with cold water. Repeat twice daily as needed.
12. Tomatoes
Mix 2 teaspoons tomato juice with 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Gently apply this mixture on your dark circles and sit for 10 minutes. Rinse off with cold water. Repeat twice a day for maximum results.
