does anyone know how to get rid of dark eye bags??
everytime i look in the mirror i notice my bags. it's so dark and ugly it freaks me out... any suggestions? XP
1. get a bowl of cold water and put in some ice. Then, get a washcloth, soak it in the bowl of water and put the washcloth over your eyes.
2.put a slice of cucumber on both of your eyes.
3.use two cold tea bags and put them on your eyes.
4.soak cotton wool pads in cold water then place them on your eyes
5.wash your face with cold water
I read in a magazine that there is a new product being sold in department stores that gets rid of eye bags immediately. I don't remember what the brand was called but I'm sure that you can find out by asking if you plan to buy it. [ Peachgirly's advice column | Ask Peachgirly A Question ]

Most people think that their behavior is somehow linked to dark under-eye circles.
Well, most people are dead wrong.
Your shiners, your raccoon eyes, your blue luggage... whatever you call your dark under-eye circles, here's what they really are: oxidizing hemoglobin.
Dark under-eye circles begin in the capillaries, the tiny blood vessels that web the delicate skin around the eyes. When something hits you, blood vessels are traumatized and sometimes broken. Blood leaks out into the surrounding skin. Your body begins the mopping-up process, and you see a dark, purplish or blue-black discoloration.
So, as you can see, dark under-eye circles are very similar to bruises. The same mechanisms produce them.
**HOME TREATMENT**
1. Thin slices of cucumber applied to your eyes not only helps to lighten the skin, but also soothes and cools the eyes.
2. The caffiene in tea bags acts as a remedy for dark circles by diminishing puffiness. Caffiene in tea helps to diminish water in the tissues around the eyes.
