Does putting cucumber's and moisturizer on your eyes help the dark circles(or bags. Either, or) or is it useless because that's what i'm doing because under my eyes are very dark. And i'm only 11, turing 12 next month.
And please don't tell me to sleep more. What do you think I do every night?

Cucumbers help with puffiness. If your dark circles are due to shadows from puffiness, it will work. If your skin is just thin under your eyes (like mine is from being fair skinned), some of the darker tissue will just show through your skin more than those with more melanin. I hate to tell you, but in that case you are stuck with concealer. Its also possible that you have dark circles from an excess of pigment/melanin around your eyes. There are eye creams that will help with that, talk to your mom or dad (whoever you think will be best) about how this bothers you, and ask her to help.
Yeah, isn't it annoying how when you have dark circles, they actually can be WORSE after a good night's sleep? I hate getting those comments about being tired when I've slept like a bear. Girl, concealer is your best friend. Try cover girl, and only use a tiny bit.

Well, I think the whole cucumber thing is just a cliche (the one where you have a mud mask and cucumbers on). The tea bag thing really works, but slowly, you have to do it consecutively. I'd use a cream from the drugstore, to be quite honest. Also, you may hear that cold spoons help, they don't. I have this problem too, and I'm only 16. I think it may be our eye shape. Don't worry about it. Do you have a concealer stick? When your covering up your zits (I was in an accident and have scars so I cover those also) go ahead and draw under your eyes. Then with your finger rub it in, the follow up with your base/make-up. Please e-mail if this helps for you.

well my deary I am 40 and yes my eyesballs are refreshed in the morning I do a mixture of teabags paste just take the insides of the tea bags out and drain the water out and use it cold and just mush it on top of the eyelids and around the bottom of the eyes where you put the eyeliner. then place the cukes on top and relax for about 20 minutes or more. Do some meditation therapy and stop doing activites that will keep you awake at night like reading or dancing or listening to your MP3 player. I have a 15 yr old daughter and if she could sleep until 1pm everyday and not go to school she would. You sound like a very educated wonderful young lady.

I agree with putting soaked tea bags on your eyes. it shud help. Drink plenty of water too. Here are some other home remdies you could consider trying:
*Apply a paste of lemon juice, tomato puree, orange lentil flour (masoor dal ) and turmeric powder (if you are not allergic to it) on under eye dark circles. Leave it for 15 minutes and wash it off.
*To reduce the puffiness and dark circles of the eyes apply freezed cucumber juice.
*Almond oil is considered best in removing the dark circles. Massage the area with the oil at night before going to bed.
*Application of cream with vitamin E and C also helps in reducing the dark circles.
The results won't be immediate. You'll have to stick to which ever remedy you chose for a while.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
It might help, you can also soak tea bags in warm water and try that for 10 mins or so. I have dark circles and it mainly is bad luck and comes from family history. When you are older there are lots of clever make up tricks you can try. Get plenty of sleep, drink lots of water and try not to worry about it.

i dont think it works, just a waste of time and cucumbers But try other things that you can buy at the store, i think they help a lot better.
