DARK CIRCLES under eyes


Question Posted Tuesday May 22 2007, 11:08 pm

I've had dark circles under my eyes for a while now, and they've gotten worse over the last few months since I had bad sleep/eating patters (stress from school). I'm wondering, what are some things I can do to minimize the appearence of dark undereye circles? Thanks

Additional info, added Tuesday May 22 2007, 11:10 pm:
Now I've finished the semester, so I can focus on establishing better sleeping schedule, and making sure to have good nutrition. But if there are any other things I can apply to the undereye area, let me know , thanks!.

I have under eye circles 24/7 because of my fair skin- so I have to apply concealer to them every day.

The kind(s) I use work really well- "Estee Lauder smoothing creme concealer", "Almay skin smoothing concealer with kinetin", and "maybelline cover stick" (the last one should be the most common and easiest to find)

just blend it in with your ring finger (it works the best) and put some loose powder over it so it will stay.

Just try to correct your sleeping patterns and eat better- take a multivitamin every day... They should clear up soon anyway.


Hope i helped

Okay. thats great that you can sleep better and eat better. I have 2 tips for you- take two spoons, and put them in the freezer. Take them out when they are cold and put them under your eyes. That helps get rid of the circles.

I don't do that often though because I'm usually pressed for time, so a quick thing to do is buy a tube of under eye concealer. It's got a small brush at the tip of it, and you just kinda "paint" that under your eyes, and then you blend it in with your hands. It works very nicely :)

Also, I do have some under eye cream from Neutrogena, called Radiance Boost eye cream. Its a small tube, and it reduces the look of dark circles and puffiness. It works okay, but I prefer the concealer stuff better than this.

Hope I helped!

hey

i suffer from hereditary dark cirlcles. i usually wear concealer (actually, i don't USUALLY wear concealer. i don't go out in public without it!) and i use a cream to reduce their appearance. i suggest you, for now, wear a little concealer and curl your eyelashes with lots of mascara so when people look at you, they notice your bright, wide-open eyes and not your dark circles. i also suggest going to a dermotologist to get some cream to remove them. also, try cucumber JUICE on the area (just juice it and take a cotton swab and swab the area). i also hear that freezing two spoons overnight and putting them over your eyes in the morning makes them disappear for the whole day :]
