What works best for getting rid of dark circles under the eyes?

Question

They're not dark from tiredness, it's my pigmentation. Is there any way to lighten them?

Answer 1

Put raw potato slices over your eyes. I know it sounds silly but it works.

Answer 2

Most of the time they are due to a person's heritage or genetics. There is really no safe way to get rid of dark circles. Bleaching creams should not be used around the eyes, and most products don't do what they promise in this area. the best you can do is to use concealer lightly applied to diminish them and be sure to balance with eyeshadow, liner and mascara. Then people will look at your eyes and not your dark circles under your eyes. And don't forget your lipstick....

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

To diminish under-eye circles, apply a warm Eye Gel Mask to the area. To diminish puffiness and sagging skin, use a frozen Eye Gel Mask. Follow by applying Eye Rescue Formula to the area and always get your recommended allotment of sleep each night.

Answer 5

you can have your skin bleached but that is costly and you would have to go to a plastic suregeon. But you need to make sure that you have a really nice eye cream that you are using twice a day. Clinique has a really great eye concelar called all about eyes. It has yellow undertones which cut blue and purple from underneath your eye, it is very creamy and has long term benefits, it works well in conjunction with all about eyes eye cream. I worked for clinique for a number of years and in cosmetics in general so I knowledgeble on the products. Also estee Lauders advanced night repair eye recovery complex is great too.... good luck
