Patanjali co-founder says almond oil can erase dark circles
One kitchen oil, five minutes a night: Can it really erase dark circles? · thestatesman.com

A man named Acharya Balkrishna, who helps run a big company called Patanjali, shared a tip on Facebook.

He said putting almond oil on the skin under your eyes before bed can make dark circles go away.

Dark circles are the darker or bluish color that some people get under their eyes.

They can happen when you don't sleep enough, when you're stressed, or when the skin there gets dry.

Almond oil has vitamins that keep skin soft and healthy.

Skin experts say the oil can really help when dry skin causes the dark circles.

But there isn't much scientific research proving almond oil fixes dark circles all by itself.

Getting older or having certain genes can cause dark circles too, and oil can't change those.

It's smart to use only pure almond oil, test it on a small area first, and ask a doctor if the circles don't go away.
