My eyelids are dark compared to the rest of my skin, is there any way to make the color of my eyelids harmonize with the rest of my face or make them lighter?

Thank you brotherHome remedies
Home remedies are the first step you can take to reduce the appearance of dark eyelids. These remedies are relatively free from side effects. They’re also low in cost. You may try the following:
1. Cold compresses
This remedy is especially helpful in addressing dilated blood vessels and swelling from inflammatory condition. It can also help minimize bruising from broken blood vessels.
You can use a cold compress from a drugstore, but a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a clean towel to protect your skin can also do the trick.
Use for five to ten minutes at a time.
2. Elevate your head
Instead of lying down flat when you go to sleep, sit in a recliner or use extra pillows to keep your head elevated. This can help your blood flow better and reduce inflammation.
3. Get more sleep
While this remedy doesn’t necessarily cure dark eyelids, a lack of sleep can make them look more pronounced. Not getting enough sleep can make your skin look paler, which, in turn, may make dark spots appear even darker.
4. Wear concealer
Instead of matching your skin color, try a concealer that’s designed to minimize pigmentation changes. If you have light skin, opt for a pink concealer. If you have dark skin, try a peach-tinted concealer to minimize dark eyelids.
You can purchase pigmentation minimizing concealers at most makeup stores. You may also find them in the cosmetic section at many drugstores.
Over-the-counter (OTC) treatments
Home remedies may reduce the appearance of dark eyelids and stop them from worsening, but they don’t usually treat the condition entirely. This is where over-the-counter (OTC) treatments may help.
Anti-aging ingredients, such as kojic acid, retinoids, and hydroquinone can helpTrusted Source reduce hyperpigmentation. However, many of these ingredients are too harsh for everyday use. Often, these products are designed for your face, but not your eye area. It’s important to look for related products that are intended for the eye area only. Consult with your doctor before putting any of these products near your eyes.
Dermatological procedures
Dark eyelids that don’t respond to home remedies or OTC treatments may be aided with dermatologic procedures. These may include:
- chemical peels
- laser resurfacing therapy
- surgical removal of tumors or accumulating melasma on the skin
- other surgical procedures, such as eyelifts
No worries my man.Thank you brother
