Dark spots under eyes

Moms View Message Board: General Discussion: Archive May 2004: Dark spots under eyes
By Roxie on Wednesday, May 19, 2004 - 03:08 pm:

Hi,

Can't seem to get rid of the bags and dark circles under my eyes!! I'm only 20 years old, and they're so bad..like I've been beaten up.
I get plenty of sleep (usually 9 hrs a day), I never stay up late, I exercise, I don't smoke, or drink alcohol or caffeine, I don't have allergies, where is it coming from?? With my luck it's probably inheritance...I never inherite anything good, all my genes are bad.
Is there anyway to get rid of them??
I've tried drinking a lot of water to alleviate swelling and puffiness, cucumbers, ice, herbal tea bags on my eyes, vitamin e contents under my eyes, I've tried so many remedies and nothing works! I can't cover it up with make-up, is plastic surgery the only option for me??

Avon has a concealer that works well for my dark circles.

Mary Kay's Lunimeyes Dark Circle Diminsher with Vitamin K. I used to get puffy dark eyes more often than I care to admit. I've had a stressful month yet you would never know it looking at my eyes now. I swear by the stuff! :)

Lancome has an amazing under eye concealer, it's waterproof. I think it's called Effaciles - I'll check for you.

I've had dark circles all my life - since I was a teenager. I don't know what they're from, either. They've seemed to lighten some and then get darker again. I wonder if it could be vitiamin or hormone related?

The way you apply the concealer and blend it into your make up has a lot to do with whether or not it works.

Go to a major dept. store and have one of the girls at the make up counter show you how to use the concealer with wither a powder or liquid foundation. I like Lancome and Clinique. They're more expensive, but when it comes to something I'm going to put on my face every day, then I want it to be good. And I want it to work.

Good luck, it's no fun looking like you've been up all night.

go to Clinique that is where i go. my face breaks out sooo easily & that is the only thing that i have found that does not break out my face ! they will show you how to apply & most of the time they will give you a free sa,ple to try to see if it is for you ! :) Good luck I have had them since i was 21 (i am not almost 26)

Flaxseed Oil. I read it right here- I don't remember who said it. It takes awhile to get in your system, but it works.
