Racoon Eyes!

Man for the past 2 weeks I've had really bad bags and dark circles under my eyes, I look like fucking rocky racoon. I can not get rid of them I've tried face cream, cucumbers, cucumber mask. It's driving me crazy!

 

sleep? moisturize before bed?

i googled some stuff for you:

I use Bare Minerals make up and they have this powder that is a really light tan that you put around your eyes to cover circles - it works miracles! For my dark circles though, I use eye creams-really good stuff. Another thing that can be causing them is diet - I know when my iron is really low, I get really bad circles. Also, avoid rubbing your eyes EVER because the tissue is so sensitive around the eyes and that can cause really bad circles.

 

thanks ladies that was a really big help, yeah I sould probably start eating better and my sleeping pattern is all of wack, and not to mention my depression so yeah.

 

edit...



someone else already mentioned the iron factor...

 

i've never had circles. my face wilts under the weight of it's own babiness.

 

They takes AGES to shift. I get em if I miss a few hours sleep and they take forever to leave again (well ok, a week or so) Ride it out and get good rest

 

Exactly you are right. Sleep, moisturizer is very important. I would like to add some options and they are proper diet and under-eye cream.

 

cucumbers do nothing.

 

Cucumber is helpful but it takes longer time.

 

I've heard that a lot of times dark circles are made worse by dehydration.
drink water! it definitely can't hurt!

 

TEA BAGS, WARM. caffeine tea.. Not decaf.. The caffeine will ativate blood cells and the normal color will return
.You want tea that has plenty of tannis and caffeine in it, as well as copious antioxidants. (The caffeine helps remove excessive moisture, while the antioxidants soothe the skin.) Green, black or white teas are usually the most beneficial, but stay away from herbal teas, which aren't helpful to treat dark circles. (An exception is chamomile, which has anti-inflammatory properties.)

PREPERATION H.. reduces swelling.

 

wow. ftw.

 

The most important thing to remember is that you need to know the reasons behind the dark under eye circles to get the better results.

 

metro..ftw..

 

i recently bought this garnier fructis roller eye gel with caffiene.. it seems to really work.

also, a good mineral concealer can make you feel like a new woman!!

 

I tried the tea bag thing, works pretty good, thanks

 

Remember whatever you do it is important that you be persistence and don't give it up in the middle. It is better that you first determine the reason to undergo proper treatment.

 

A friend of mine has thyroid problems and when she is under a lot of stress she gets dark circles and a brown tint to her upper lip. Once the stress levels return to normal her natural skin tone returns.

 

i could carry groceriesin the bags under my eyes. i used to wear glasses that covered it up, but they broke and i can't afford new ones yet. so i look like a squinty raccoon most of the time.
