This problem as the first thing I'm trying to hide when I'm having a date.

If the circles are under your eyes, then cucumber juice is meant to be good, as it is cooling and soothing, and contains mild bleaching agents.

Otherwise you could try an under eye cream that has vitamin K in it. And of course try and get more sleep, as well as drink plenty of water.

For quick fix for a date.....try and good concealer with a shimmer pearl in the product. The Age Rewind concealer by Maybelline is good.

Hope this helps :-)

There are many causes of dark circles, from age, heredity, allergies, cold or sinus infection, bone structure and glasses which are not so commonly known.

If you would like to apply home remedies to reduce dark circles, here are some of my suggestions:
Buy a box of regular, old fashioned unflavored gelatin (e.g. Knox) from grocery store. Take a small cup or bowl and put in 1 teaspoon of the gelatin mix. Add one tablespoon of boiling water & stir for a minute. Test it on your wrist to make sure it is not too hot. Then, using a cotton ball, pat it under your eyes as you would an eye cream or gel. Go lie down and listen to some music, or take a bath & let it stay on for at least 30 minutes. Then just rinse it off.Gelatin is very high in Vitamin K & Biotin. It will not remove your dark circles on the first application (but you will notice a difference), but if you do it daily for a week, and then 2-3 times a week for maintenance, you should notice a drastic reduction in dark circles.

I have the same problem, even when I am not tired I have dark circles. I use Benefit's "ooo la lift" which helps reduce the darkness. Right after I put it on, I smooth in cover-up specifically for dark circles. You could also try dusting gold shimmer at the corner and just barely underneath the dark circles to reflect the light which should help.

Ah, this may not be much help, but I'm suffering from the same problem. Most commercial products have not worked for me.... and powders don't stick to my face very well.

Wearing glasses seems to trigger this more for some reason, but also mineral deficiencies and allergies have caused problems.

If this is a permanent problem, your doctor or dermatologist may have some helpful solutions or alternatives!

~ Good luck, KK.

I was told by a doctor and a naturopath that dark puffy circles under the eyes is a sign of kidney trouble. Eat plenty of lettuce, cucumber and sugar or rock melon type of fruits. And of course plenty of water to flush out your kidneys.

try using L'OREAL WHITE PERFECT Deep Whitening Eye Protector. it also has spf unlike their other product(hydrafresh eye). WHITE PERFECT lightened the dark circles around my eyes. been using it for 3 months now.

or if u want a natural way, use cucumber. u will also have to apply that religiously.

good luck :)
