I have noticed recently that I have developed some dark circles…not dark dark but darker than before, and puffiness. My eyes also seems to get reddish more quickly in the evening now than before where I could look fresh even up until 11 pm! :hinna:
I’m not that old 
, I eat right and sleep enough. I don’t have any major stress issues. My eyesight is fine and I don’t have any underlying health issues such as kidney related stuff etc. Occasional allergies, yes.
Any advice for moi?
Re: Under eye issues
oh my god. I am having the same exact issue.
Re: Under eye issues
same here!!..well I just use a good concealer. there is really nothing much you can do it about or so I ve heard.
Re: Under eye issues
i have dark circles as well but mine is more a problem of genetics. the cause of your issues could be dehydration. that's really all i could think of, if drinking enough water doesn't work then go out and try some under eye balms that reduce dark circles.
Lady who does my facials said apply cut potato slices/cucumber clices/cotton soaked in cold rose water for dark circles.
People have also found vitamin E oil and almond oil helpful. Make sure that you take a multivitamin.
If it still persists, go to dermatologist. Hope this helps:)
Niksik, sleep on 2 pillows if u can.. this wud drain the fluid from u're face and reduce the puffiness. I soak 2 cotton pads with rosewater and pop them in the freezer for 20 mins then place them over my eyes :)
You shud get an under-eye gel.. Avon's aloe and papaya is a great one, not too expensive either. Massage with vit E capsules will prevent premature wrinkles and improve the discoloration. Drink plenty of water :)

Re: Under eye issues
paabi ji...u get that with three children to take care of and their 24 hr demands. get more rest. and try hylexin..desi chica at my work took my advise and used it, and it was weeks, just weeks in which her heavy racoon eye look was gone. its pricey but worth it.
Hmmmm. 
Hylexin. I read about it all the time. Now it’s time to get it I suppose.
Re: Under eye issues
just so u know, i mean i have seen your pics so u prolly have some temporary thing goignt on, this lady at work had the circles for years, was thinking of going for some kinda peels and what nots or laser thingamabob but this worked.
Re: Under eye issues
nikisk what do you mean by puffiness?? I know of a cousin of mine who was mentioning that she has that and the doctor said that she has some (i forgot the word..and would have to have a small surgery).Did I confuse you more:konfused:
X2..The Hylexin…I mean were the results like really really different…or you know maybe the placebo effect…I don;t know I am always skeptical of these lotion potions…if there is no scientific data behind em…and you know how cosmetics work.
Re: Under eye issues
ask99..yes major difference. night and day..thats why I am suggesting it. I have noted it on gs in the past as well and actually gave her the recommendation after that, and really it was maybe 5-6 weeks that her dark circles disappeared.
in this girls own words, she has never had such even tone under her eyes since like childhood.
Yes i think it’s a temporary thing… perhaps allergies or the recent sinus infection I had.
Asky, the puffiness isn’t all that severe, it’s noticeable because I don’t usually have it.

sinuses will do it, I have allergies and sinus stuff and that causes my circles plus conan the destroyer and conan the barabarian..taking allergy pills and just makign sure i am not congested does wonders.

really that much difference.....is it that she says it or anyone can tell...I am trying to get some facts here....sorry...as I said I am skeptical about these things.Do you know if she still uses it...you know there are certain treatments that basically shrink the veins beneath the skin...and all are temporary and last as long as they keep on using the product..i am going to look up the product..I remember you mentioned it some time back too.
Re: Under eye issues
Ask99, go see the product details on the sephora website, shows the ingredients, how it works, etc.

Oh okay...it must be the sinuses then. I always have the sinus and allergy problem too and so does my little one..in spring.
I hope they get better soon.
I found this website with reviews…doesnt work for everyone..but for those for whom it has worked, really seems to have worked well.What do you think. I havethese really bad under eye circles.,…always had them

i can tell, she worked on my floor, i dont know if she still uses it but her circles are gone, and even if it is one of those things u have to use on an ongoing basis..you kinda have to sart taking care of your eye region in your 30s anyways..so u have to be using something.
btw..need advise on mens stuff, i am almost all out, was using zirh, like it, wondering about lab series for men and clinique for men, kiehls?
reviews, ideas, advise?
Re: Under eye issues
