Water and rest, yes, but here's a little trick I use. Before bed dip a few q-tips in water and then put them in the freezer overnight. When you wake up in the morning, sweep the q-tips gently back and forth under your eyes. It helps wake you up and to decrease any swelling and discoloration. I've done this for years.

First, start with a clean face and then take thin slices of cucumber and lay them over your eyes. Lay back and relax for about 10 to 20 minutes and remove them. This should reduce the puffiness that often comes with dark circles and make them seem a lot less noticeable. Rather than actual makeup, you can take a tinted moisturiser and dab a bit around your eyes which will help blend your skintone and make them veritably invisible.

Dark circles are either hereditary, or due to lack of sleep or dehydration, or all of them. So if it's hereditary for you, then cosmetics for dark circles is what you need. But if it's due to lack of sleep, then you'll need to get yourself on a schedule; Go to bed and wake up at the same time everyday. If it's due to dehydration though, then you'll need to step up your water, fresh fruit, and vegetable intake. In regards to using cosmetics to cover up the dark circles, what you'll need is a yellow concealer to block the dark colour. A concealer two shades lighter than your skin tone to 'lift' the colour under your eyes, and powder to set. Apply the yellow concealer 1st to the dark area's of your eyes. Next, you'll want to pat on the light concealer. Don't rub it on, or you'll remove the yellow concealer. Finish off with a good, but light dusting powder to set everything off. As for eye creams/gels, i would suggest going with a lightweight cream. Avon has got an excellent kind. And yes, using concealer everyday can effect your skin. If the concealer is too dry, and you're pulling on your skin to get it on, then you're actually wrinkling your skin on your own. The skin around the eyes is very thin, and should be treated very lightly. No tugging to get make-up on or off. No rubbing or pulling either. When applying products, use a patting motion. Not a rubbing motion. The best cream i've found so far is, Lighten Up Plus (undereye treatment) It's only $9.99, but most of the time it's on sale! Just visit the link below, and search for it.

I have them too and was told they are hereditary as well as: low iron, not enough water, not enough sleep. I have done the sleep, water, iron..they are still there! I do know the hemoriad pads take the puffiness down but not the black. Although it is make up, a concelar stick mixed with a little lotion is the best trick I have done.

OK there is some stuff at Wal Mart and it's not make up it's some drops and you put it under your eyes and it reduces your blackness or it could be cuz you have low iron and need to take iron supplements that makes it better

Pile cream is only useful, as an anti-inflammatory, if you have eye bags. For black under the eyes, use Touche Eclat by YSL.
And try and get some more sleep.

this is broken or damaged vessles. I have rubbed my eyes for years now I have the same thing. I wear my glasses all the time because people tell me how worn out I look. cold packs pushes blood away from an area, this helps short term. Do not rub your eyes at all. creams for hydrating the skin around eyes help. Cosmetic surgery can fix it,
