any ideas for dark circles around the eyes ?

Question

Tried all sorts of things including every sort of concealer - nothing seems to work.

Answer 1

try this concealer Maybelline Age Rewind and of course get some sleep. Google on the web. I believe it's from lacking something in your diet. There are expensive items to try, I just can't think of them right now. Good luck to you.

Answer 2

Often times dark puffy circles are a clue that you have some type of allergy. You should have that checked out. If it's just from lack of sleep or stress then try putting some cold cucumber slices on your eyes and get some sleep. High stress and a lot of crying will create those dark circles....take an honest look at your life and see what situations need to be addressed.
When you can reduce the stress and get sleep, and take care of allergy situations you will find that those dark circles will go away.

Answer 3

I have the same problem. I have tried every cream and vitamin combination there is. For you who say "get more sleep and drink more water" --boo!. If it was that simple she wouldn't be asking.

Obviously these things can better or worsen the situation, but if you are naturally inclined then I have to believe there is another solution.

I have recently been looking into the possibility that it may be an endocrinic imbalance. Apparently it can be claused by poor liver function or an underactive thyroid. I know that it has to be something genetic as my neice is already showing signs.

I haven't found an answer but if I do I will let you know.

Answer 4

try to get a really good nights sleep by sleeping with multiple pillows. Cucumbers are the most cheapest fastest way if you have the time. Use cold cream such as ponds or avon when removing makeup because i was told it can lead to dark circles? but just try the cucumber slices and a revitalizing mask and you should be ok.

Answer 5

Ok so its really expensive but YSL concealer is actually a miracle in itself. I dont even get bags or circles around my eyes and my god i look so much better when i put it on! It completely gets rid of circles-or any marks or blemishes for that matter instantly. It pretty pricey but its very reliable, has lasted me years and just incredible. Very very highly recommended.

Answer 6

YSL Touch eclait (spelt wrong I know) is the best. It's about #17 but lasts ages. If too dear try Collection 2000. That's around a fiver and not as good but nearly.
Concealer will be to thick around your tender skin - you need something light.
Hope that helps.

Answer 7

Darphin do an eye serum especially for darkcircles. I swear buy it. It goes under your eyecream morning and night. It cost £44 but lasts months. Also drink loads of water and don't use face moisturiser around your eyes as they are to rich and can cause the darkness.

Answer 8

Have you tried YSL Touche Eclat? Id give it a try, perhaps after using some of the techniques the other answerers have said

Answer 9

Have you tried Touche Eclate`by Yves Saint Laurent? Its really good, been rated in all the magazines and lots of stars use it inc Victoria Beckham!

Answer 10

Many would say a good night's sleep. Sometimes this is hereditary and you can't do much about it but it could also be a problem with toxins in your body. Try a detox for a while and see if there is any improvement.
