Ladies....any advice?

No advice here but I hope you find a simple solution soon!

Thank you Sam! You're a sweetie

They have some eye creams that you could look into. I tried Amore Pacific Revitalizing Complex (go to their website and get them to send you a sample) and some girls swear by it. I've also heard La Prairie (I think) is good... both are pricey tho.

Id be interested in this too!!
I have the same problem, but its more like a family trait, we all have dark under our eyes and red skin argh!
Id be interested to see if anything can help

Ari, I will definitely look into your suggestions. is not a HUGE deal as I am desparate now! But to be safe...any more ideas? Home remedies? Anything? Anything?

Maybe you should look into a different concealer? I recently got a sample of a MAC concealer (wish I could tell you which one) and I LOVE it... it does such a great job of hiding my undereye circles!

Dermalogica is great stuff. I just tried some samples from work, and I really like it. I have only tried the skin care, but I bet the concealer would be worth trying. Unfortunately, there were no samples of that.

I know there is some deficiency that causes that sometimes, I think potassium. I haven't been able to find any good concealors for it yet myself.

Soak cosmetic pads or cotton balls in witch hazel, lie down and apply them to the under eye area. Leave for 15-30 minutes, once per day.

if money is not a huge issue, visit a dermatologist. if they can remove tatoos and scars they can clear dark circles.

Amy invest in one of those concealer pens by YSL called "Touche Eclat".

Models and actresses swear by it, and a girl i work with suffers from dark circles but you can't tell because she uses it as well

I thought it was work stress for the longest time, but it turns out this is something I have to deal with on an ongoing basis.

I used to use Clinique All About Eyes and that worked wonders on my eyes - I have dark patches because my skin is so transparent around my eyes! It worked really well for me!

Thank you so much for your advice everyone
They all sound like great products and I'll probably work my way through them (starting cheapest first!) 'til I find one that works.
Cindy, I will DEFINITELY try your witch hazel recommendation. I've heard about the wonders it does for skin!
Again, thank you so much guys This is why I LOVE TCS so much- you can get so much great advice from so many great people!

I have the same issue and I can't remember where I read this but, I think it's partly a circulation issue. So gentle massage can work as it stimulates the blood and keeps it moving. I found my undereye area looks best when I'm drinking the right amount of water each day and getting regular exercise.

since i had kids i have dark circles under my eyes, and the only thing that works is a yellow concealer, under my foundation, the yellow hides the dark circles really well!

I love Demablend conceler. It comes in a small white round container with a black lid.The stuff is awesome and lasts forever, I've probably had the same one for over a year and not even 1/2 way through it! It covers everything from scars to reddness and bruises.

well i hope some of these work for you.



Ive started getting wrinkles under my eyes
