Dark Circles Underneath My Eyes - How To Get Rid?

I used to have a problem with having bags under my eyes, but I believe it must run in my family because one of my brother's also has the same problem. I personally use makeup to hide them, because I wear makeup everyday. They aren't as bad as they used to be, less purple and less bags. There are a few different things you can do if you don't want to use makeup.

You could place a wet washcloth in the freezer before bed. Even if you are only going to sleep for a little while, you should still do this. When you wake up, take the washcloth out of the freezer, place it on your forehead and eyes and lie down. Leave the washcloth on for approximately five minutes.

Another thing you could do is place cold tea bags on your eyes. Rinse two new teabags in cold water til they are completely wet. Place the tea bags over your eyes for about 10 minutes, then throw the tea bags away. The tea bags might stain your eyes, so wash your eyelids thoroughly with water after taking the tea bags off. The tannins in the tea bags will reduce swelling, and the moisture of the wet tea bag will absorb into your eyes.

You can also put aloe underneath your eyes. Before putting on makeup or any moisturizer, apply a small coating of fresh aloe to the bags under your eyes. Just take a little bit and rub it under your eyes until it's completely rubbed in.

One of the things that helped me the most was moisturizing under your eyes. I'm not sure the exact name of my lotion, but it's not specifically for bags it's just a moisturizer for skin, but it does help.

I hope this helps! Sorry it was so long!

Sleep.

MAC makeup! LOL and sleep! I have the same problem!

( I hate makeup too but wear it when I go out sometimes)

i used to put Vaseline when i had dark bags back in the day when i had severe eating issues, sleep problems and drug abuse. looked like a real hot mess. but the Vaseline did help it look better. good luck to you.

Look into Juice plus! I take those too and like it so far!

i have the same problem- one eye worse than the other- I think it's sinus/ allergy related for me, although i'm looking forward to trying teabags and such! The nettipot helps for me.

This under Solutions Vibes Wake Up Eye Roller from Avon is great!

I am using ROC Multi-Correxion Eye Treatment (for dark circles and wrinkles) and I have also found on really bad days that a cotton swab dipped in cold milk and applied to tired puffy eyes works wonders. Mine is hereditary but sometimes (when I consume alcohol the night before) it is worse.

Cover them with salmon colored concealer applied before your foundation. Neutralizes that bluish undertone tone of the circles (I know, I'm Casper colored too, same issue but this seems to work well for me!)

Lots of water, Eating extremely healthy, cutting out all junk food or white flour! And exercise

I am always curious to this information. I also have dark circles under my eyes. Mine is hereditary from my Mother, and Grandmother, and my daughter also has them. Allergies/sinuses also affect them. I use makeup but sometimes when the sinuses are acting up, nothing helps. I even have patients ask me sometimes if someone punched me in the face.
Thanks for some of the suggestions!

Lots of rest and water. There are many eye creams that help that, or those new eye rollers for dark circles are good.

I have always had dark circles under my eyes even when I was skinny and in shape when I was younger (HS). I was always told by dr ect that it was a vitamin b deficiency, coupled with other vitamins but mainly vitamin b. I used to take tablets of them and I guess it might have helped but I was also in a lot of AP classes and ROTC and working so I slept very little as well and that can also cause it.

To this day I still have dark circles. I don't have a completely fair complexion but I have never worn makeup, I just kind of ignore them. Maybe try a darkish eye shadow like purple or blue or grey and it might bring the attention away from under your eyes if you don't like concealer.

You are within your BMI and toward the lower end. Your goal weight is slightly below the recommended level (BMI-17.5) . There may be reasons that would be desirable in a specific case so I won't talk about that here... Dark circles underneath your eyes can be a sign of several things. At this level of nutrition (1000-1200 cal q.d.) , I would suspect that this may be a vitamin deficiency. This may be easily taken care of by adding a multivitamin to your regimen. Otherwise eye creams and such may work but I don't know much about those. My thought is take care of whatever the underlying problem is (in this case I suspect vitamin deficiency) and you should feel better as well as look better. Best wishes.
