mostly it's due to lack of sleep. using your eyes a lot (of course, by being awake a lot) means you need adequate amounts of oxygen which is transported through the blood. so possible lack of oxygen as well as dehydration (which affects blood volume) are factors for dark circles under the eyes. for a quick fix, if you do drink tea, don't throw the tea bags away. put it on your eyes while having a quick nap. of course, don't put it while it's still hot. if you also have puffy eyes, put some ice on your eyes.

wide dark circles are caused by a deficiency in iron and other nutrients. Pamper your eyes to dark circle creams but if they are really dark (as mine are)know that you will have to get sleep and eat right and when they show up like a mask put makeup on but also check with your doctor to make sure you have no underlying cause that will make them worse if not treated

REDUCE the stress level
ALWAYS eat healthy.
