i have always had them ..since i was a kid.. its not lack of sleep..

any help ?

Answer 1

Dark circles are either hereditary, or due to lack of sleep or dehydration or all of the above. So if it's hereditary for you, then cosmetics for dark circles is what you need. If it's due to lack of sleep then you'll need to get yourself on a schedule; go to bed and wake up at the same time everyday. If it's due to dehydration, then you'll need to step up your water, fresh fruit and vegetable intake.

In regards to using cosmetics to cover up the dark under eye circles, what you'll need is a yellow concealer to block the dark colour, a concealer two shades lighter than your skin tone to "lift" the colour under your eyes and powder to set. Apply the yellow concealer first to the dark areas of your eyes. Next, you'll want to pat on the light concealer. Don't rub it on or you'll remove the yellow concealer. Finish off with a good but light dusting of powder to set everything.

As for eye creams/gels, I would suggest going with a lightweight cream and they are out there. The Body Shop has a good one. And yes, using concealer every day can effect your skin. If the concealer is too dry and you're pulling on your skin to get it on, then you're actually wrinkling your skin on your own. The skin around the eyes is very thin and should be treated very lightly. No tugging to get makeup on or off. No rubbing or pulling either. When applying products, use a patting motion not a rubbing one.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

I have the same problem, and my mum, who's a doctor, told me that sometimes it's genetic and gets worse by lack of sleep. In that case, I think you should just try to cover them up and sleep better.

Answer 3

Are you anaemic or do you suffer with eczema these tend to give people dark circles, just get some eye cream vitamin e reduces it but you need to use it every day.

Answer 4

I had the same question and i ask my dad and he said "Its lack of water. You aren't getting enough water, its not sleep."
So yeah... He is into organic stuff and health so I think he is right. He reads books about it all the time.
