Oh, I used to have huge bags... A moisterizing face mask would probably be the best but some more suggestions if that's not available:
-Go out in the sun more
-Eat and drink more items containing citrus. i.e. oranges, kiwi, Mellow Yellow, Sprite, tea.
-Drink a lot of water. When I say a lot I mean TONS. As much as you can hold. It's very good for your system and should clear a lot of stuff up.
-See your doctor. He can diagnose you with synas (sp) problems and prescribe some Nasonex and such. It's amazing and works wonders.
-If you read, watch television, or Internet at night or in a dark room you need to cut that out. Turn on a lamp or don't do it.
-When you're concentrating on something such as a text book take a minute and look out a window and focus on something far away.
-Don't ever pull at the bags or rub your eyes.
Hope this helps.

You probably are having a mild allergic reaction and cover-up wouldn't help anyway so don't lament the makeup thing. My advice is to get some vitamin E oil (usually available at most $1 stores so no need to over spend either) then using your pinky dot under your eyes at night. After about 3 to 5 days you will see a big difference then in about 10 it will be gone entirely. If you reapply 1x a week after that you shouldn't have the problem again. Good Luck!

I think the prob is your getting too little sleep during the school year and too much during summer. The average sleep period for a teenager should be 8-10 hrs a night. Give it a try see if it makes a difference.

Teabags apparently might help.
Also drink lots of water.
The eyes are connected to the kidneys, so not enough water dehydrates the eyes, causing puffiness and dark circles
Hope this helps :-)

Use a potatoe peeler to peel some skin off the potatoe. let it sit under your eye for a few minutes. That should work.

If you want to try a lotion underneath them, use AVON. They have several creams for dark circles and they really work. If you don't want to try that, try freezing a spoon and when you first wake up, press the spoon under your eyes. It works on a lot of people.
