5. Potatoes

Potatoes really are extremely versatile, and we’re not just talking about all the delicious ways you could cook and eat them either! Potatoes can also be used as a remedy for under eye dark circles (similar to how you would use a cucumber for the same purpose).

Research cited on Livestrong.com says that potatoes transfer antioxidants and vitamin C to the skin surrounding the eyes when sliced and placed over. Since potatoes retain coldness really well, you could also chill them in the freezer for a few minutes before placing them over your eyes. This could help relieve inflammation of the blood vessels under the eyes, leading to a reduction of swelling and lightening the area.
