Any good tricks to lighten dark under-eye circles? Nothing works!…?
So about a year or two ago I started noticing really dark rings under my eyes. And then everyone else started noticing and started asking "What's wrong with your eyes?" and telling me "Get more sleep!"... I get about 10 hrs of sleep a day and I've tried everything. I've tried some lower-end eye creams, the chilled spoons trick, the steeped tea-bags, the sliced potatoes, the gel eye mask that you refrigerate, I've started using all sorts of eye creams and nothing works. I don't even have bags under my eyes, just the purple darkness. I've bought a bunch of different concealers and I set it with good pressed powder and the circles show right through. I don't want to just conceal them though, I want to lighten them in some way. I'm only 24, I'm not in bad shape and nothing seems to help... Any new tricks or tips? Or maybe a really good brightening eye cream, or maybe I have a certain vitamin deficiency?... Everyone always thinks I don't sleep or that I'm hung-over or I'm a drug-addict or something, they look horrible... Please help...
I got sunburn!!! ouchh!!???
I hardly ever get sunburn! The last time I got burnt was probably about 3 years ago. Theres a few reasons for this. One is becuase even though I'm white, my skin is on the 'darker white' side... I have a lot of italian and a tad tiney bit of spanish in me (So little it doesnt even count! lol))
but the MAIN reason that i dont usually get burnt is becuase EVERY DAY i use sun screen!!! even in the winter! the lotion that i use after i get out of the shower (full body lotion, face and all) has an spf 30 in it! I'm CRAZY about protecting my skin!!
anyways...i went out in the sun yesterday for about 6 hours!!! and worst of all i forgot to use my lotion!! YIKES!!
I GOT BURNT!!
I bought 'after sun' lotion with aloe and vitamin E in it. It burns a little bit at first to put on but it cools things down a bit. I'm not burnt enough where i'm going to blister and peel.... its just my sholders, nose, and cheeks that got the worst of it. My problem is that it hurts to shower!!
I'm afraid to use soap becuase I know that it'll dry it out more! I have this 'soy milk' soap for sensitive skin but it burns when i put ANYTHING on my skin. It even burns to just be in the shower and have the water dripping down on me.
I'm about to get into the bath tub (Full of cool water!! the hot water hurtss!!)...and I'm just going to wash my hair (i cant bear to use anything on my body!)..
I have baby liquid soap/bubbles that i'm going to pour into the tub... other than that, is there any other super gentle way i can clean myself without spending too much money?
is there any other suggestions as to what to do to ease the pain of this sunburn? I'm wearing loose clothing...I've heard of putting used/cold tea bags on the area..this aloe is working to cool things down a bit. is there anything else i can do to make it heal faster??
How do I make my skin clearer, less oily Im 17 do tea bags work?
Let me just tell you now I have no intent in buying any creams or whatnot (unless it aloha vitamin e i have that at home) Im look to find out some "natural" non-artificial ways to make my skin more clear and flawless.
My first thought was to use green tea bags will it work?
(You know when i say natural i mean anything from nature is there a certain food, drink, vegetable..)
I want to come back to school from spring break with more clear skin. So hopefully I'll see some results in one week.
Vitamin E probaly would make my skin nicer but I don't want to encourage more acne...
In my purse? Just because I'm asking about a question about clearer skin automatically makes me a women?
Hey men care about how they look need proof take a walk outside!
Of course I will assume you thought I was a women because you either assumed it because it was in the beauty section or you must have not read my name.
What are the lines under my eyes (pic included)?
http://yfrog.com/0hdscn2082fj
Some people can't see them at all but if you look closely you can. It's mostly in certain lights. I don't know if they're linesor what..But it's like 3 string-thin little lines from the part of my eye nearest my nose down to the other side of my eye on the left and on the right you can't really see any. That was the best picture I could get of them. Are they wrinkles? Is this from the circles under my eyes? How can I get rid of them? Is it possible to get rid of them? How long would it take to get rid of them? I started taking multi vitamins, sleep 8-13 hours a night, stopped drinknig caffeine & cut smoking to 1 a day (before it was about 4 a day so i doubt that really contributed that much to them, they just came out of nowhere one day and got a -little- better than they were). I also have been putting cold tea bags on my eyes & vitamin E lotion.
Thanks.
Is it bad to drink ice tea with vitamins instead of water?
Some of the vitamins I have say to drink with a full glass of water. I take them with ice tea, is that a bad idea?
I make the ice tea myself from tea bags and I don't use any sugar. I don't drink soda at all. I just don't like the taste of the vitamins so take them with the plain tea to cover their taste.
How can I get rid of the dark bags under my eyes. ?
I get plenty of sleep. At least 8 hours. Problem is, I go to sleep late and wake up late. I drink a lot of water. My dark circles under my eyes are getting worse. I've read about tea bags,creams,lack of vitamin K, leaking capillary, and all kinds or things,but what really is the best?Please keep in mind that I sleep more then anyone I know. Why do I have big black ugly circles under my eyes???
Any natural remedy for dark circles around the eyes?
I would like to know what are the stuff that have worked the best for "you". Some people say almond oil, tea bags, rose water, vitamin E, eye cream, cold spoon.
I am not interested in concealers. I just want to know if there is something that can improve the appearance of hereditary dark circles. Thank you in advance for your help.
I get enough sleep and use a good concealer.
What works best for dark circles under the eyes?
I'm only 12, but my under-eye circles are dark, and embarrassing. I can't go out with makeup or concealer on, and because of it I've became so insecure about my eyes. What do you guys recommend for me to do? Frozen tea-bags? Vitamin k cream? If so, are they any brand names that'll work well, and won't harm sensitive skin? Thanks.
Which vitamins are best for reducing/treating under-eye puffiness?
Hello.
I have under-eye puffiness that, unfortunately is hereditary.
I'm aware of all the home remedies for this ( tea bags, plenty of sleep, cold compress, light tapping, cucumbers, taking daily vitamins/minerals, preparation h, drinking plenty of water, etc).
I have also tried my fair share of creams and serums from drugstore, to high end dermatological recommendations.
I'm fairly young (25) and do not want/need anything invasive.
I would like to "get back to nature" so to speak and start a natural regime using vitamin oils and/or serums ( directly applied to the under- eye skin).
What vitamins are best to relieve puffiness?
I've read:
Vitamin E
Vitamin K
Tea Tree Oil
Anyone have any experience with vitamin oil/liquids/serums in this regard, and what do you recommend?
Thank you.
