| dark circles under eye!! Does anyone happen to know anything that gets rid of or lessens dark circles under eyes?? I have tried everything from using fruit to drinking tons of water to all kinds of creams but nothing has even helped... I've had dark circles for years now and right now I'm 22 and I really hate it!! I'm sooooooo sick of putting on layers of coverup under my eye everytime I go out... any (non-surgical) suggestions that actually work or help??? |

| Do you have allergies? People with allergies get "shiners". I don't know how to get rid of them, but that might explain why the other things aren't working. Just a thought, I could be way off on this one. I know I have them, but because of allergies.

| I have the same problem due to a medical condition. This info is from a pamphlet I got at the dr. I hope it helps. The Vitamin E and Cod Liver Oil really do help alot. Causes Dark circles are often caused due to sleeplessness or disturbed sleep. If you find yourself developing dark circles, you need to first catch up on your sleep. Genetics too could predispose you to developing dark circles. Other factors causing dark under-eye circles include: Drinking an excess of beverages that contain caffeine. Smoking Allergies Thyroid problems A lack of iron in your body during menstruation. This often contributes to dark circles, which is why some women have a tendency to develop dark circles during their period. Remedies First of all, try and figure out the reason you have developed dark circles. Have you always had them? Are they a recent occurrence? Does your mother have dark circles under the eyes as well? Once you can pinpoint the cause for dark circles, it would be much easier for you to get rid of them. 1. Are you allergic to something? If yes, work on avoiding the allergens. 2. Apply Vitamin E to the area under your eye. You could open up a Vitamin E capsule, and apply a little oil. Swallow the rest of the oil. This not only helps you get rid of dark circles, but also reduces puffiness around the eyes. In addition, regular application of Vitamin E delays the onset of wrinkles. 3. Apply creams that contain Vitamin C. 4. Swallow a capsule of cod liver oil everyday. It strengthens eyes. 5. Take a teaspoon of tomato juice, a few drops of lemon juice, a pinch of turmeric powder and a little flour, enough to make a paste. Apply this paste to the under-eye area, and wash off after fifteen minutes. 6. Drink at least ten glasses of water everyday. There is no stressing this enough. If you do not drink at least eight glasses of water everyday, you are not providing your body with as much water as it requires for flushing out toxins. Do not wait until you are thirsty before drinking up. By the time your body cries "I'm thirsty!", you are already severely dehydrated. 7. Avoid stepping out in the sun, especially between noon to four, when the sun is at its strongest. Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes, and the delicate skin around it, from the harmful effects of UV radiation. 8. Apply a cold, used tea bag to your eyes. You could also applied used, cold, herbal tea leaves to your eyes, to sooth them. 9. Apply a concealer to the area under your eyes, to hide dark circles. Use a color that is every so slightly lighter than the shade of your skin. Apply the concealer gently; do not stretch or pull the skin from this delicate area. 10. Lie down, close your eyes and apply cucumber or potato slices to your lids. Leave on for ten minutes and remove. Wash the area with cold water. This soothes tired eyes instantly, and helps boost blood circulation in the under-eye area. 11. Try out dark circle remover creams available in the market. Make sure they are of a recognized brand before applying them to your face.

| Same here.... hereditary! I've wasted more money in my lifetime on "remedies" than I care to think about. Some people just don't have as much fat under the eyes which is what should be between the skin and the veins. If you don't have it, the veins are more prominent. My eyelids are really dark too. And I've tried ALL the concealers. I've just had to suck it up and realize that concealer is my best friend!

| What kind of cover up do you use? I sometimes get bad circles and its best to use a yellow based under eye cover up- it takes out the purplish color from the dark circles.
