i have really bad hereditary dark circles and nothing seems to be working.
i heard that cucumber juice (the only thing i haven't tried, although i've tried cucmber slices) is really good for getting rid of dark circles.
why? what does cucumber juice do? how long will it take to remove really bad (so bad it goes to the side, and on top of my eyelids up to my eyebrows!) dark circles?
thanks!

It could possibely reduce the dark circles. You know in the movies when people get facials? Well they put cumcumbers on their eyes. And the purpose of that and the facials is to relax your face. Try doing a facial+cucumber.=D

They'll be able to advise you on possible solutions.. I'm not sure exactly but you might be able to get a prescription for something (maybe a prescription cream). You do mention that it's hereditary, but here are some suggestions to at least help minimize dark circles-
an obvious one is to try getting enough sleep..
also, good nutrition is really important. I heard that not getting enough iron can make dark circles worse.
But anyway, the best thing is to see a dermatologist. I also have dark circles, and they usually get worse if I don't sleep enough or am not careful about what I eat. [ ciao77's advice column | Ask ciao77 A Question ]
