What works best for dark circles under the eyes?  |
|
I have inheritted my mom's Mediterranean complexion - including the dark circles under the eyes. The older I get (and more kids I have...LOL) the worse they are getting. There are so many different products but which actually works? How long before you see results? What works best for concealing them? Thanks.
Additional Details
I appreciate everyone who says sleep. I'm sure that for 9 out of 10 people that's all it is. I don't have occasional dark shadows under my eyes. I have permanent dark pigmentation under my eyes as is common with people of mediterranean descent. I do get 6-8 hours sleep and I do drink plenty of water and I do eat very healthy. I do not party or smoke or drink. Thank you to all though.

| Nonierox12480 (3) | 3 years ago | I have a similar problem. There are a couple of products that you can use. I use a product by Benefit, they are usually in Macy's, it's called a "mini fake-it kit" which have fun names like "ooh-la-lift" you put that on the bottom first and let dry for a few minutes. Then there is "lemon-aide" that you put on your eyelids and that immediately makes them lighter. Once the bottom dries a bit, put the "lemon-aide" over it (it mixes) and then there is a brown concealer to put over which helps it blend. The kit isn't too expensive, let me know if you tried it or what not.

2. aimee750 (997) | 3 years ago | I have the same problem and have been trying to find something that works for years. I am very fair skined so the dark circles looked absolutly horrible. I have tried everything I could get my hands on and nothing really worked. Until about 6 months ago I found a skincare line called Wei East. I use 2 products called Youth Recapture and Eyes Alive. They cost me $30 for the two and last me about 2 months. But the best part is after the first 30 days I had about 50% decrease in the dark circles under my eyes. It is the only thing I have ever found that works. Good luck to you in your quest.

johnmanohar (453) | 3 years ago | Dark circles are famously annoying and unfortunately, there's no way to get rid of them. However, you have 3 basic options for concealing them:
Option 1: Use a proper concealer. Test out the best colors at a department store counter or at Sephora. (Tip: Tell the makeup artist you are looking to correct the undereye circles and are testing several different types before purchase). Choose concealer that's a shade lighter than your foundation. And if your circles are very dark, go 2 shades lighter. You might be choosing a concealer that's too light if you are getting a 'raccoon look.'
read more here http://beauty.about.com/o... you get dark circles Dark circles are caused by one of three primary reasons. Here's the quick and dirty on which solution works best for each type.
- Bone structure. If you have deep-set eyes, shadowing contributes to the dark color under the eyes. Your best bet: camouflage. Look for concealers with yellow undertones, which counteract the bluish cast to under-eye circles.
- Pigmentation. Genetic hyper-pigmentation is the most treatable form of dark circles. Your best bet: Try a lightening cream or talk to a dermatologist about chemical peels or laser resurfacing.
- Vasculature inflammation. Late nights, allergies and nutritional deficiencies can enlarge the blood vessels beneath the thin under-eye skin. Your best bet: Take care of yourself! Sounds cliché but drink that water, get your beauty sleep, eat a healthy diet and avoid cigarette smoke (easy enough, right?).

5. runsgame (1879) | 3 years ago | the best natural medicine for this dark circle is to do the SURYA NAMASKAR IN THE early morning. Just grasp the rays of SUN in the early morning around 6.30 am to 7.30 a.m. consume fully the rays in your eyes. and also take more green vegetables. Just in 20 days the black cirle will fly off

7. tutul0045 (1267) | 3 years ago | I think drinking lot of water helps. Good sleeping habbits abd eting habbits will defiantely remove it a bit. I think its hereditary also. I have seen people having dark circles whoose mom or dad also having dark circles. I think taking too much tension ar fatigue also causes it. happy ang jolly people have less dark circles in their eyes.
Cheers, Tutul

9. emilieespino (664) | 3 years ago | I have a similar problem but the dark circles and puffiness under my eyes are only that bad when I lack sleep. I recently bought an eye cream from New Zealand which I apply in the evening before bed time and it seems to help, even with lines (crow's feet). Also I make sure I wash and clean my whole face before I go to sleep. Perhaps you can also try a whitening cream but you will need to be careful in applying it because it might get into your eyes.

Bee1955 (3224) | 3 years ago | I used to laugh at this until a friend of mine said she did try it and it worked. I thought it was a joke so I did used a very litte bit under mu puffy and darkened eyelids and after about 20 minutes the color was faded and so was the puffiness. It lasted for most of the day! Who discovered this?
