Dark Circle–Lightening Peach Treatment

¹/₂ medium ripe peach

1 teaspoon aloe vera gel

Under-eye circles tend to make you look more tired than you actually are and can be pretty difficult to treat and conceal. Luckily, the high levels of vitamins A and E in peaches are amazing for combating darkness. This eye treatment is surprisingly effective and is beyond refreshing to tired, puffy eyes.

Dice the peach, including the skin, and then mash it into a paste using the back of a spoon, a fork or the blunt end of a knife. Stir in the aloe vera gel and combine thoroughly. Spread the mixture underneath your eyes and even on your lids if you like . . . just be careful not to get it in your eyes! Let sit for 20 minutes, and rinse thoroughly.

This treatment is incredibly gentle and can be done several times a week.
