Those Two Dark Circles

When I was still a student, I hate wearing my glasses. I always remove it when I do not have to read or copy anything from the board. The opposite happens now that I am working. I am forced to wear my glasses because of the two dark circles under my eyes. I do not know what to do with them. Do you know any natural remedy to lessen the dark circles?

I'm not so sure though if it's due to lack of fluids or certain vitamins. Sometimes the hovering forms bother.

@annierose I hope you'll find a way to lose that and I hope Ms. Toni has enlightened you on how to deal with it.

Best thing to do is to see an eye doctor. I also have this mosquito-like forms that hovers in any direction and somebody told me it's because of lack of eye fluids as we advance in age.

I have been seeing my eye doctor but he does not say anything about the dark circles under my eyes. My skin has always been too delicate that is why I think a natural remedy is much better. My mom always told me it might be because I do not sleep much.

@sunrisefan You are right, it's because we are ageing that's why it can't b avoided. I don't have dar under eye circle but my under eye starts getting deeper as i age. It's not because you don't sleep much. It's because of age, sadly. Drink plenty of water, avoid too much salt especially in the evening. And the natural remedy...maracuja oil for dark under eye circle. Don't forget to use an eye cream day and night, it helps too. There are cheap ones at Watson's, it may not work like the expensive ones but it helps.

@annierose That could be the reason. I think @Toni would know best how to hide those circles :)

i currently have The Body Shop but ive used others too. there are a lot of shades but i usually refer them as lighter, natural, and darker to simplify things.. just remember that your concealer must be lighter than your foundation. best if you watch few vids on youtube cause youve got to know how to put it right on your face too.

What brand do you usually use? Are concealers good for all skin types?

You can cover them up with makeup. If you go on youtube.com and run a search for dark circles on the eyes or something similar, you'll find a lot of great ideas. :)

I wonder if it is safe for every skin type. My skin is very white that rashes or scars become very visible.

@annierose I'm not talking about any specific product but a way you can use different types of makeup in different shades to hide dark circles.

You could try some kind of concealer like a pancake makeup on your face to blend it all in.

i hate to wear glasses, and I only wear when I need to see the bus number. My nose is oily, and the glasses always slip down, so I really hate it.

That is my problem as well that is why I do not wear my glasses much. By the way, what else do you do for your dark circles not to be very noticeable?

@scheng1 You are skin smart. My mom always warn me when putting something on my face. That is why I have been afraid putting any cream on it.

@annierose That's easy. I use BB cream together with sunblock and spread generously on my face. That will reduce the dark circles, and make my face with a reddish lint, as if I have just spent a day out in the sun.

You are lucky if you do not have them under your eyes. They said it is the result of staying late at night.

Just cover them up with the stuff people use to cover tattoos. Because I'm sure some tattoos are VERY dark, and if a good concealer can cover them up, I'm sure it will also be able to cover dark circles. Something like this. ^See above^

@Druscilla034 Thank you for all the suggestions. I am not knowledgeable enough when it comes to make up. I always ask for the help of the sales lady. My only frustration is when the sales lady do not know also how to answer my questions.

Aloe Vera gel works like charm. Anything works fresh or store bought but it has to 100% organic. From my personal experience I have definitely seen a visible difference. Although I don't have crazy dark circles but still I can say it works.

Oh. Aloe Vera works? We have Aloe Vera plants at home. Does it mean I can use the sap of aloe vera and put some of it on my dark circles?

@Blue_bubble Wow! Thanks a lot for the information. I will definitely try it out as we have many aloe vera here. How many hours does it need to be on my face?

@annierose Yes you can do that if you have the time and energy to do it. I just buy it . I generally apply it all over my face as it is really good for the skin too!

Yes wearing glasses is important. My doctor suggested me that 6yrs before but I didn't used it. After 3yrs checked again and he said I have some power that can't be cured any how. Now I have glasses but that's very irritating to wear I just wear it when needed to follow board at college. But I feel it's need every moment.

Before I used to have cucumber. I put it in my eyes but I think you have to do it every day. Or maybe its the stress that make it visible.

Two dark circles are better than one. One would mean someone has given you a black eye

It is expensive. I would like to try just natural remedy. Maybe there are.
