i have cirles under my eyes that are really gross and dark..i'm only 14 so i don't think its from age and i get like 10 hours of sleep a night so it's not that either. I try to put conseler on them to cover it up but that doesn't work.
Is there any way i can get rid of them??? (prefferably under $30)
The other person had some great homeopathic solutions to this problem, which have shown to work, but I would also try an anti- histamine eyedrops too. They do have prescription ones that a doctor can give you but you may have success with the over the counter types.
I had the same problem when I was younger and the drops really did help me- unfortunately, now my rings around my eyes are from lack of sleep.

I think drinking lots of water helps, and getting a lot of vitamin C and vitamin E, which are antioxidants.
Some experts believe dark circles are caused by veins and capillaries showing through the thin undereye skin--why vitamin K, which seems to constrict capillaries, seems to help. So, look for gentle eye creams that contain vitamin K and the natural skin-lighteners kojic acid and licorice extract.
Finally: Use tea bags and cucumbers! Both tea bags and cucumbers reduce inflammation and decrease swelling. Tea bags are especially good to use for dark swollen circles because there is tannin inside of the tea that helps with eliminating the puffiness. [ madem's advice column | Ask madem A Question ]
