Long-term use of spectacles tends to create dark lines under eyes. These lines make the area puffy and make your overall face look dull. The first thing to do to prevent this condition is to choose a comfortable frame that won't create these dark lines. You might not realize it, but nose pads do play an important part in preventing this condition.

1Use potatoes. Potatoes are perfect for treating marks because they're commonplace in homes. Peel one raw potato and then grate it well. Add some pure rose water to it and make a smooth paste. You can also add lemon extract or pure honey for improving the strength of the remedy. Apply the mix and let it sink in. Wash with water after 15 minutes and repeat regularly. Potatoes have bleaching properties which will reduce dark circles.[citation needed]
