What to do about dark circles under your eyes.?
Posted on February 22nd, 2010 by admin
Im only 14 and I have really bad dark circles under my eyes and I have no clue why. Im very healthy and Im not on drugs, so why are they this way, and how can I get rid of them?
Dark circles are down to thin skin under the eyes where blood passing underneath can show through, it’s often just genetic but other factors come into it such as lack of sleep, illness and bad diet. The usual rules apply with all health and beauty, get plenty of sleep (8+ hours) and good diet – food allergies (dairy and caffine being the most common), lack of iron can contribute to the problem, excessive toxin build-up can be a factor too (drinking lots of water will help). I know from personal experience how important iron is as I have freakishly heavy periods, I always find as a result my eyes become very dark underneath.
There isn’t that much you can do with dark circles, you can reduce puffiness which in turn helps with dark circles. Have you ever heard of models using hemeroid cream to ease off puffy eyes? Well they do, it works because the active ingredient is witchhazel, this deals with puffiness the same way it’d ease swelling in hemeroids or spots. So look for products or home treatment recipes that contain witchhazel, another tip is using cooled chamomile tea bags applied to eyes for 15 minutes, or keep teaspoons in the freezer to pop under your eyes in the morning. Use a light concealer, but not too light, try using a concealer with a yellow tint to hide dark circles but be sure to dab rather than rub as if you’re harsh under your eyes it can make things worse, try using a sponge or your middle finger which will apply less pressure than your forefinger. I find mascara makes things worse as half way through the day it ends up under my eyes, so I avoid that problem by dying my lashes, then curl with eyelash curlers before applying a little vasaline to wipe off powder from my lashes, hold in place and emphasize.

I know it sounds gross but I know someone who used hemroid creme for hers & it worked or sleep with cucumbers under your eyes. until then get an orange conceiler (its not really orange) & that will cover it

I use Bare Minerals foundation, using the concealer brush. You can buy it at the Sephora section at JC Penney’s

Cold Cucumbers Circles over the eyes, A cold washcloth usually help. Maybe you’re tired or it could be allergies and/or sinus. If not, you could put a little extra foundation under them about 5 minutes before you put on the rest. Go to someplace like CVS and look for this cucumber gel thingy for dark circles under the eye.

If you are getting dark circles under your eyes the leading cause could be lack of sleep, which usually is the cause of my dark circles.
Make sure that you are getting lots of water on top of the healthy lifestyle that you have. If all else fails, use some moisturizing creme under your eyes with a light foundation until the circles fade.
Take care of yourself, and that includes lots of rest. At least 9+ hours for your age.

Dark circles can treated with regular and gentle care.Cover your eyes with cotton soaked in warm milk for 15 minutes everyday to remove the dark circles around your eyes or dip cotton pads into freshly extracted mint juice, flatten them and place them on closed eyelids for 10 to 15 minutes.
