Eyes
Eyes are the most important and the most used organ of the human body.
If you work on a computer, it is also suggested that you look at

soothing colours after every few minutes (Green and blue are soothing colours).

Since squinting can cause a lot of wrinkling under the eyes, always
wear sunglasses.
Do not use face packs or astringents around the eye area. They
can cause severe wrinkling.
Pamper your eyes often by placing cotton pads soaked in cold
milk/ potato slices/cucumber slices/tea bags soaked in lukewarm water on them. 
Avoid reading in poor light as this causes unnecessary strain to 
your eyes. This can also lead to dark under-eye circles. If you work for long hours on a computer, rest your eyes every hour or so by "palming" them (gently press down with the heel of your palm on your eyes). 
When removing make-up, apply the make-up remover with gentle
strokes on the eye area, wait for 10 seconds and then wipe off with damp cotton wool pads. The ideal technique to use when wiping off the remover and make-up is: Press the damp cotton wool down on your eyes very gently and wipe upwards and outwards in one simple motion. 
Don't stretch or rub the skin under your eyes. It is extremely
delicate and very susceptible to wrinkling. 
Dark circles can be caused for several reasons. 
Constantly straining you eyes in front of a computer or a TV.

Remember to splash your eyes with cold water whenever you get a chance. 

High blood pressure. Control the cholesterol levels in your food 
and control your weight.  
Do not use face packs or astringents around the eye area. They
can cause severe wrinkling.
Dark circles under the eyes are sometimes caused by hereditary.
In this cases, it is impossible to cure them. But one can hide them using makeup. Constipation is also another major cause of dark circles. It is highly suggested that you drink lots of water during the day. This helps you get rid off the toxins in your body. Insomnia also causes dark circles. Make sure to get your beauty rest.
Deficiency of Vitamin C. Supplement your diet with a Vitamin C 
tablet everyday. 
How to reduce dark eye circles:
Add 2-3 drops of lemon juice to some icy cold milk and soak cotton
pads in this mixture. 
Apply on your eyes and relax for 15 minutes.  
Apply potato slices on your eyes and keep on for 15-20 minutes. 
Apply cucumber juice on your eyes and leave on for 20 minutes.
Orange juice also works wonders for dark circles when applied 
daily.
