    Do you know a good home remedy for getting rid of dark circles under my eyes?
    Community Answer
    You may just have them as part of your genetics, but try a mixture of avocado and lemon juice. Apply it very sparsely and gently under your eyes. This can reduce the swelling and the color. Be careful not to get it IN your eyes. Lemon stings! You can also try a mixture of oatmeal and egg white applied every three or four days. Let it dry before you take your morning shower, then let the warm water rinse it off. Don't scrub! Just gently rinse. You don't want to scratch the already dark area. This just infuses them with blood.

    Can I use ascorbic acid tabs instead?

    Not really, using acid on your skin can really damage it. It may not be right away, but it would damage over time.

    Doesn't the base have to be acidic to allow the vitamin c to penetrate the skin?
    Community Answer
    I use the vitamin powder and mix it with water or plain cleanser from the pharmacy. It tingles on the skin and leaves it very smooth and exfoliated. I can't say whether the vitamin c is going into the skin, but it sure feels like it is.

    How can I use nut oil on my face?
    Community Answer
    Try it on a small patch of skin to make sure you're not allergic and so you don't break out. This could happen as some oils clog your pores. Do a little experimentation on some areas of your face to see how it goes before using more.
