I have dark circles

Question

Dear User,
Though some may attribute the dark circles under the eyes to the ageing process, it can be removed and avoided. The more important reason for dark circles is lack of sleep, being anemic and not taking nutritious food. The best remedy is to ensure you get at least 7 hours? sleep and to drink fruit juices regularly as well as large quantities of water daily. The food you take should be healthy and nutritious.
