Answer 1

Reason for circles: Blood does not flow very easily through the eye are and because the skin is much thinner here the dullness is more apparent. Remeber, the eye is a socket after all and there is nothing much behind it.

Why are yours so dark compared to everyone else?: Unfortunately, as long as you are getting adequate sleep it is basically your mum's fault. Yep, it is genetic.

Fix: Dark circles, (particularly on those who have had them all their life) will never completely fade. However, you can make it less visible.

1. Always use an eye cream - this will nourish and plump the skin, and while you are patting and circulating the cream around your eyes you are stimulating blood flow.

2. Plenty of sleep

3. Internal Hydration. Drink at least 8 glasses per pay. Dehydrated skin is thin and fragile and will show the circles more.

4. External Hydration - Your eye cream should suffice but you could always carry a hydrating spritz with you if you work in air conditioning. You may drink adequate water but be dehydrated on the outside.

Puffy Eyes

This is usually a morning thing, because the blood has to try and pump around again and remove the fluid build up from last nights sleep. If it is regularly puffy, you may have an allergy to a local pollen. Try this simple quick fix (good for if you have no cucumber). Place a cold teaspoon over the eye, voila! Reduced fluid build up and a calming releif on tired sore eyes that have been staring at a computer all day!

Good luck.

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.
