What can one do to get rid of dark circles under his or her eyes?

According to mayoclinic. Com, the main causes for dark circles under the eyes are: lack of sleep, allergies, eczema, heredity, smoking, drinking alcohol or caffeinated drinks, nasal congestion, pigmentation irregularities, and sun exposure. Since there is such a wide range of causes, you should experiment to see what works best for you.

There are several different things people who have issues with under eye circles can inexpensively try at home. 1. Chill two teaspoons and hold them over your eyes.2.

Cold cucumber slices held over the eyes for at least 10 min. 3. Cool/moist chamomile teabags over the eyes for 5-10min.4.

Saline washes or sprays can help with nasal congestion and sinus issues that may cause undereye circles.5. Use extra pillows to elevate your head and prevent undereye fluid collection. I've personally used a few of these remedies (cucumbers, teabags, and spoons), and the cucumbers always worked the best for me.

I like to let them sit on my eyes while I'm giving myself a facial. Hope that helps!

Sometimes those are formed when you don't get enough sleep so one possible remedy would be to try to get more sleep, though I'm sure this isn't exactly what you are looking for I can tell you that it did work for me. After I left my job I was afforded more time to sleep and the circles disappeared in about one week.

Concealer, concealer and more concealer! Seriously though, if getting more sleep isn't an option (and sadly, for most of us it isn't) concealer and eye brighteners work great to hide dark circles. For the eye cream, look for something with vitamin K and retinol to reduce puffiness.

For the concealer, make sure to use something with yellow tones as that will hide the dark circles better. There are other methods to reduce dark circles....try reducing your salt intake, drink a lot of water, don't rub your eyes and if you smoke, quit. Additionally, you can apply things like cucumber slices, cool tea bags or ice cubes to your eyes.

Like the eye cream, these things reduce swelling.

I'm not a doctor, but here are some tips and secrets @robbrown 1. Start drinking a shot of resveratrol daily, every day of your life. If you can't drink a shot daily, you can get resveratrol in red grapes or red wine.

There are products out there, plenty of resveratrol drinks. One of the products my mother takes is Vivix. I'd recommend you look into it.

If you do not eat or drink it, try taking resveratrol pills. Do a search for these, and you'll find a few good ones. 2.

Drink 8 glasses of water daily and exercise daily. It's good to sweat, or even sit in a sauna to let your body release, and then follow step four of cucumbers or green tea bags. 3.

Always get 8 hours of sleep. This is a good number of hours to get of sleep. 4.

Put cold cucumbers over your eyes or Green Tea Bags. Yes, green tea bags work! Check out this link: davidhayden.com/blog/dave/archive/2005/1... 5.

Take a nutricosmetic vitamin daily. Invest in a AgeOff, Murad, or Dr. PericoneVitamins. Great vitamin to take daily that will help.

Drink water with these vitamins. Dr. Perricone has better age reduction. Research all these products.

The first and foremost reason for dark circles under the eyes is lack of sleep or a disturbed sleep. Secondly direct exposure to sun. There are other causes like allergies , heredity etc... Here is a homemade remedy for the same.

1. Make a paste of gram flour with a teaspoon of curds and apply the same under the eyes . This can be used as a facial also . Leave it for about 15 minutes or till it dries (in case of lack of time).

Wash it clean. Don't use soap. This reduces the dark circles, softens the skin and in a weeks time you could find that the circles have vanished.In short this works as a natural cleanser.

2. Crushing of cucumber along with its skin and applying its juice in the affected area. Leave it for 15 minutes and wash.

Can use soap. Cucumber slices can be placed on the eyes . But applying the juice penetrates through the skin and gives a faster result.

My mother is a horticulturist lacks sleep and is exposed to sun and dirt. So she uses these remedies and it has given a wonderful result. Of all the remedies intake of at least 10 glasses of water everyday is a must and should include spinach in your cuisine at least once a week in any form.

Yes yo can use an eye mask from Mary Kay it works ..

Sun, bad weather, and poor skin habits all combine to damage our skin. Our skin is constantly blasted by life - wind, sun, pollutants. You can effectively rid your eyes of those unsightly signs of aging by reversing those effects with the dermatologist developed Eyelastin.

Eyelastin is the only eye care system that includes Nanoderm technology, which is a proprietary ingredient complex that combines proven anti-aging ingredients with an advanced delivery technology. This specialized technology improves the performance of helpful ingredients by getting them deeper in the skin and more successfully hitting trouble areas. I was suffering from eye puffiness,wrinkles under eyes,dark under eye,dark eyes circles this all problems which many women face now.

I have consult one beauty consultant. I took Eyelastin for Aging and I got superb result. It really works, it has no side effects.

The word 'cure' is where the trick lies. There are a multitude of so-called 'natural' 'cures' for dark circles out there on the market or information forum, but there truly isn't just one specific thing that will take this problem away. There is hope though.

Dark circles stem from a person's internal health rather than their exterior appearance alone. They may also be a genetic inheritance. Usually there is a lack of oxygen and or water to the blood.

This in turn manifests itself in a physical way. The most common area is the face and particularly the under-eye area. This is due to it being the area on the face with the thinnest skin.

Therefore masking the problem externally usually leads to a more temporary fix. The most effective 'cure' or result-oriented treatment that I have seen over the years as a professional skin therapist is in added water intake, regular restful sleep, daily relaxation techniques, deep breathing, a balanced diet, and healthy skincare habits. Some helpful tips are: baths instead of showers( increased relaxation which promotes blood circulation and cell rejuvenation), hourly deep breaths( brings more oxygen to the blood which increases cell reproduction which in turn strengthens the skin under the eyes), wearing sunglasses when in bright light, rest from prolonged computer use which can strain the eyes causing stress to the under eye area, and certain topical treatments such as frozen/chilled cucumbers, vitamin K, and cool teabags have a cooling and hydrating effect.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
