Dark Circles Under Eyes

From what i recall pond's makes a cucumber treatment that soothes & cools the eyes (also it smells really good)

dark circles can be caused by several things:
Allergies--because the small veins under the skin engorge from congestion in the sinus areas.

Lack of sleep--due to poor blood perfusion and swelling from eye strain.

Genetics---darker pigmentation under the eyes can be hereditary

Light toned skin pigment---fairer skinnedindividuals often have dark circles because the blood supply under the skin gives the skin a darker hue.

What to do: Drink plenty of water to keep skin healthy and full of nutrition.
Eat right, get enough rest.
Tea bags, cucumbers and those things can decrease any swelling under the eyes and make the circles less obvious.

For myself I have wicked dark circles--I have allergies, fair skin and lack of sleep.
I use tea bags and cucumbers and night creams but in the end I really have to use a good concealer. I use theatrical eye concealer.

you are not alone

Karen, I also have all of those things...

the only thing I can think of to get rid of them....

...vacation!

Also, Este Lauder has a product called 'Uncircle' - you put it on in the morning and at night!

But I have to agree .. a good concealer is one of your best weapons!
