    Drinking more water every day helps your skin in numerous ways, and it can help reduce the appearance of dark circles. You might also find some success with cold compresses or green tea-presses. However, if natural remedies don't work, clinical treatments like a chemical peel and laser resurfacing can help reduce pigment and improve the appearance of dark, tired eyes.
