I am noticing lines around the corners of my eyes and am not liking them at all. Also the area around my eyes feel dry. Are there any good eye creams anyone can suggest that also may help with dark under-eye circles?

my aunt is a dermatologist and she told me that while cucumbers are good solutions you could also use potatoes. you cut the potatoes (just like you do to the cucumber) then put them in the freezer for a couple of minutes. you can use them in the same manner that you use the cucumber. but this is a temporary solution. you should couple it with a good night's sleep. but just to be sure that it is not just caused by stress and lack of sleep, i suggest that you go see your dermatologist. she can tell you what to do and prescribe the best remedy. as much as possible, refrain from buying over-the-counter creams because they may not really be effective and might cause bad side effects. by the way, try to find out if anyone in your family experience the same coz based from my readings these dark circles under the eye are usually an inherited trait. ^^,)

i dont know how to get rid of those but i will give you one tip, or two. iodized salt and olive oil, rub it on your face then rinse. do it once a week then drink 8 glasses or more of water it can help those dry skin.

Dark circles aren't always due to lack of sleep, some people just always have them. It's not fun, but true. There isn't much you can do, sometimes an eye cream will diminish the circles slightly, but usually you just have to use some concealer to cover them up.

Hi gsgonzalez2007! Dark circles do really look bad on fair skin. I so far do not have such a problem. As a temperory solution you can use a concilor to hide it. You also should sleep properly and rest your eyes using cucumber or cotton dipped in rose water.

I've got the same problem too..I tried using cucumber but I was not that consistent using it so nothing happened. I'm using an undereye cream nowadays. I just have not achieved the results yet. I guess the best thing to do for this is to go to bed early. Sleep at least 8hours to keep yourself away from experiencing dark undereye circles. ;)

Dark circles occur due to lack of sleep...If you sleep adequately, everything will be fine i hope. Otherwise, you can try a few creams...I do not what creams are available in your country, so i cannot suggest anything.
