Problem dark circles under eyes?

Question

I have had dark circles for as long as I can remember. I look ill without make up. But I feel my skin deserves a breather from make up and want to get rid of these circles. My skin is alright apart from this problem, so if I had bright eyes I wouldn't have to wear make up all the time!I don't want to have bags under my eyes before I'm 30 from all the eye make up. I drink loads of water and eat relatively well but this darkness remains!

Answer 1

its a genes thing, trust me i have the same problem, but my only magic tool that i have found to work is a undereye concealer i use two kinds, one yellow tint and one with a pink tone and mix them and my darkness goes nothing else works all these cremes and remedies just help the puffiness but the darkness always stays

Answer 2

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've had dark circles all my life and I use dermablend to cover them up. It's the only product that has really worked for me. Then I put a light dusting of powder on to set it.
But you might want to take a look at a new product I've been seeing around called Hylexin. You can go to Hylexin.com for more information. I haven't tried it yet but I'm going to. Good luck.

Your iron could posssibly be low. I would dry some multi-vitamins with iron. It may take about 2 weeks for the iron to get absorbed into your body. Also take the vitamin on a full stomach or with food. Try drinking 100% orange juice when taking the vitamin. Vitamin C, or orange juice helps the iron to get absorbed into your body.

You could try clinique all about eyes (£20, UK)

They do a concealer All about eyes concealer (UK price is £15 for 10ml)

Hope this helps

Actually, there are two ways you can get rid of them and are guaranteed to work.

1. Put a hot cloth over your eyes for between 1-2 minutes. I have tried this and it does work.

2. Put hemerrhoid (sp?) cream under your eyes. My sister tried this and it worked.

Whatever you feel more comfortable doing.

Try an eye cream with vitamin K in it -cosmetic surgeons use it for this purpose. Something in kiwi fruit also helps, place on your eye like you would cucumber
