Dark Circles

I have the same problem.

I do get enough sleep. Even after a week's holiday when i have had loads of sleep they are still about the same.

Multi-vitamins help somewhat for me, but they are still there just not so bad. Drinking plenty of water helps too. No real solutions though, just things that help a bit.

So I'd be interested to see the suggestions here too.

 

I heard that you can put the spoon which was exposed to cold water below your eyes.Didn't try it though.I remember I had the same problems but I don't remember how it suddenly disappeared:eusa_doh:It will remain a mystery...

 

The first thing that you should do it rule out a physical cause- anemia and allergies are among the illnesses that have dark eye circles as a symptom.


Some people have just have pigmentation or a pad of fat under their eyes- often it's something than is hereditary. A concealer can often hide the pigmentation when you wear make-up.

There are also bleaching cremes that a dermatologist can prescribe that sometimes help lighten the pigmentation in the area. If the bleaching cremes do not resolve the pigmentation, there are some new therapies like phototherapy that can also be used to lighten the area.

 

I've heard cold cucumbers, potatoe slices, cold spoons, ice in a paper towel, and sleeping with your head elevated helps.

I tried the cucumbers and it worked but I ran out of cucumber so it just went back. The head elevated worked for me a bit too but its just really uncomfortable for me so I stopped.

 

I have the same problem, and I think it really makes me look unattractive and younger than I am. Though, I believe my allergies to dust mites cause it, considering I wake up with inflamed eyes everyday.

 

I used to have that problem when I was depressed while trying to discover my sexuality. Maybe it's emotional, or maybe it's just me.

 

Oh God I hate those. I have them too. I get a little above average amount of sleep, so I doubt that's the problem. I used to be stressful so maybe that's the reason. Also, I don't eat enough (we don't have enough food D=) so that may also be a factor.

 

Yes they are annoying...for me normal amounts of sleep help it out, but when you over sleep it does the same thing as making it seem like you haven't slept. Did that help?

 

This is interesting. My 4 year old nephew always has dark circles under his eyes. His mother has the same problem although hers aren't quite as bad. He also suffers from asthma so maybe they are from allergies. I was wondering if he was vitamin deficient in some way.

 

I have the same thing. I've had them forever - you can see them in photos of me when I was about 4 or 5. I've had chronic sinusitis for most of my life, and get bad hayfever and some allergies, maybe that has something to do with it?

 

I used to get these quite bad. Lack of sleep makes the skin around the circles paler, as old age also thins the skin. These both emphasize dark circles. I don't know what causes them though.

Make sure you are eating plenty of vitamins, and drink enough water. Also make sure you sleep enough.

I have had them for as long as I can remember and nothing has gotten rid of them for me. I've just kinda gotten used to them, they have sort of become the thing that only I notice about myself.

Had them my whole life. Just either a hereditary trait or it can be a deficiency.

 

Try changing your pillowcase every day, and wash your sheets as often as possible. It's a little bit of hassle at first, but once you get into the routine, the benefits are totally worth it.

 

hey,i've got them too, try drinking more water, and i think i read somewhere that they can be caused by an iron defficiency.. hope this helps
