Answer 2

Skin under the eye is very thin. When blood passes through the large veins close to the surface of the skin it can produce a bluish tint. The more transparent your skin the darker the circles appear. Also if you are exposed to the sun, even in people with darker skin, exposure to sunlight, especially during the summer months, can cause a higher-than-normal level of skin pigmentation (melanin) under the eyes. The same principle applies to the skin under the eyes. Also lack of a balanced diet, the lack of nutrients in the diet can contribute to the discoloration of the area under the eyes. And also fatigue and lack of sleep eventhough i understand we cannot always sleep a lot, but this is a fact, lack of sleep or excessive tiredness can cause paleness of the skin, which again allows the blood underneath the skin to become more visible and appear darker. The skin can also become paler during pregnancy and menstruation, which again allows the underlying veins under the eyes to become more visible. If you have a tendency to have dark circles under your eyes, as you grow older, they are likely to become more noticeable and permanent. The thinning of skin under the eyes will also make dark circles more pronounced. Puffiness or fullness of the skin under the eyes can be due to a number of causes. If mild, these changes are usually temporary and don't require medical treatment. Causes may include changes in your body's fluid balance such as due to weather changes, travel or hormone fluctuations. If itching or redness accompanies the puffiness, it may be due to an allergy. I use and love Arbonne's NutriMinC® RE9 REpair, Corrective Eye Crème, (i buy it online at: http://arbonnepuertorico.myarbonne.com ... under shop online) you will enjoy immediate visibly firming and moisturizing benefits. This formula moisturizes the delicate skin around the eyes and reduces the appearance of dark circles and puffiness, write them and you could receive their samples, anyway the best thing is that they are formulatted with botanical principles and formulatted without mineral oil, animal prooducts or fragrances which all these ingredients are very harmfull for our skin.. Mineral oil is the 2nd worse thing we could do to our skins health for it is like rubbing car oil on our skin and exposing ourselfes to the sun, animal products come from dead animals and these come from rendering plants these plants pick all dead animal and dead animal parts (from meat houses, etc.) and they put it in a huge pot, squash everything and boils it, what ever comes to the top is the oil other companies use to elaborate thier products, gross I know...the lipstick... ewww anyway, that is why i use botanically based products which is way much better because they get absorbed and the nutrients inside the products is what helps our skin look and feel healthy...they are not sold in stores but it is a great way to buy becasue they have this money back guarantee if for some reason there is something you do not like from the products you get your money back guarantee (within 45 days from purchase) so you have nothing to loose, only the dark circles;).... I know the info is too much but hope this is helpfull!!!

Answer 3

The old remedies like cucumber slices and used tea bags are always worth a go. There are also some good under eye creams and gels on the market but can be a bit pricey and sometimes are only temporary. These can be good for a night out.

Answer 4

This doesn't necessarily have anything to do with sleep...I get plenty and still have dark circles.

Go to a department store and seek advice from someone on a make-up counter. There are certain concealers specifically to cover up dark circles

Answer 5

My guess is you probably do get enough sleep maybe your just stress out and need to take a break. Go to the spa for a day and have them massage you face. It works great. Trust me. If that doesnt work There are products from beauti Control That you might like. Like nourishing eye pads and eye serum. I use them all the time. Good luck and if you have any questions please contact me.

Answer 8

It's a hereditary thing and there's nothing much you can do about it. It's because the skin under your eyes is thinner so it shows up more.

Answer 9

Stop fighting so much, or else develop a better guard. I tend to use cucumber slices on my eyes at night. A tip: cut thick slices so that if you get peckish in the night you can eat them.

Answer 10

i am sure you can buy for any colour skin special camouflage cream such as veil or covermark which is usually used on scars and blemishes but if you warm it on your hand first,
you can spread it out more evenly if you contact the red cross you can get this cream on prescription but you have to go for a consultation first where they match the right crem shade to your skin colour

Answer 11

It may be that they are hereditary, but you can always make sure you have plenty to drink (water) and use a concealer 2 disguise those circles.
