Under eye dark circles!!!
im only 14.. i shuldnt have them.
but i do and it sucks.
remedy??

2 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp flour
6 drops tomato juice
1 pinch turmeric powder
1 liquid vitamin E capsule

pierce the capsule and mix the juice with all of these ingredients. it should make a paste. apply to your face and leave on for 10-20 minutes. rinse off, alternating warm and cold water.

ive also heard of these ingredients working wonders to those bags and circles:

banana, vitamin K, vasaline, fish oil capsule, yeast, honey, unflavored gelatin, milk,cucumber, potato, oatmeal powder, almond oil

its not a bad idea to try to make your own personal recipe.

dark circles
Most people don't know this, but sometimes the cause of dark circles around the eye may be caused by WORMS. I recently experienced the same, and I realized that it was time for me to take a worm out. Any worm medication can be used for this but I use Zentel or Sena pod tea is effective as well.

Remedy for Under Eye Dark Circles
I tried the almond oil on my eyes for the past 3 months and the results are not as good as I had hoped. Around my eyes the circles are gone however, the inner corner of my eyes are still dark. I will try the tomato juice, lemon juice, tumeric and flour next and report back after 2 months.

Home Remedies for Dark Circles under Eyes
I have suffered from extremely dark cirlces all my life because of anemia which is a common cause of dark circees expecially in women.
The below is a home remedy I created myself and it does work.

1. Wash the face with a mild soap using warm water and gently pat your face with a face clothe ( do not rub the face or dry completely leave face moiste.

2. Use an exfolient and gently with a cotton ball cleanse above the and below pat dry with a dry cotton ball ( do not dry completely leave top and bottom of eye moiste.

3. Use a facial moisterzier under both the top and bottom of the eye and gently rub in a circular motion.

4. Take 5 slices of cucumber apiece of 1" long Aloe and 2 green tea packets ( empty the tea ) and put all into a blender.

5. Add 1oz of rosewater into the blender and put blender speed crush. Crush until is find then blend for 30 seconds.

6. Take ingrediants and gently apply to bottom on the eye rubbing in slow circular motions.

7. Leave on eyes for approx 30 minutes.

8. After the 30 minutes are up use warm water to rinse off and gently pat the eye dry.

NOTE: This works for me and others I have recommend it to but please keep in mind that this is something that needs to be done when you have the time and atleast 3 times a week for several weeks. You will however notice a slight change in the darkness of the cirlces to be a little lighter.

APPLYING CONCEALER, COVER-UP AND POWDER
When applying make up.
1. Use a concealer that is a shade lighter than your cover-up and gently blend in a circular motion.

2. The use a yellow and a blue concealer under the eye and gently blend in a circular motion.

3. When putting your cover-up on do not blend in by your eyes. ( being the cover-up is darker than the concealer if you blend in under the eye you will make the cirlces darker because of the cover-up.

4. Lightly dust the facial powder onto your face and under the eye.

DRAWING ATTENTION TO THE UPPER PART OF YOUR EYE AND NOT THE BOTTOM
1. Use a liquid eyeliner on the top eyelid not the bottom. You need to use black and black only.

2. Do not use shades pink and purple eye shadows. By doing do will then enhance the dark circles under your eyes.

3. Do not put mascara on your bottom lashes once again this will draw attention to the bottom of your eyes

Dark Circles Under Eyes
Ive had dark circles under eyes for as long as I can remember.
Im 15 now and they are terrible.
No matter how much I sleep they dont seem to fade.
I have tried ice, and keep spoons in the fridge but they just get rid of the puffiness not the actuall dark circles.
I go through a concealer a week and its becoming quite expensive and it doesnt stay on throughout the day.
I also read that its genetic but no one in my family has them.
Is there a cheap, effective way of getting rid of them as they really make me lack confidence.
And whats the best food which contains a lot of fibre as i lack that too.

Thanks.

#12 - anonymous - 01/09/2008 - 18:37
ugh I have had these dark circles since I was about 3. I still haven't figured out the cause of them but a few things i have tried that i do NOT recommend are the cremas from avon and revalon i've used them for twice a day for just over year and have seen absolutley no results. I am now trying this remedy of putting COLD water in a ziploc bag and putting it on your eyes until you fall alseep
#13 - Nathalie - 01/09/2008 - 20:52
Im 26 and I have had dark circles and hugh bags under my eyes for years. growing up I was accused of being on drugs, staying up for days, and being depressed because of the way my eyes look. And none of those things was true! I wish I had tried finding a remedy for my prob much sooner. would have made my life a little more pleasant. To the younger ones that have posted on this site, please. please. please keep trying everything you hear or read about. I have tried the cuccumbers and the tea bags and they both work great. Although I have had this prob for so long I have to do the remedy every night before going to bed. But the end result is I feel better about myself.
#14 - april - 01/15/2008 - 13:38
I'm 17 years old and of Italian heritage so I know how much this sucks. I've had them as long as I can remember. the best thing really is to get enough sleep and drink ALOT of water. I also found that Using a mint tea bag helps too. If you use one thats warm then super cold it helps alot.
#15 - Emily - 01/19/2008 - 09:20
anyone out there that needs a quick fix, look no further for dark circles and bags that is ha ha...... all you need is heamoriid cream only a tiny bit though, leave for ten mins and wash off completely . yes i know that cream is grimey but a girl depends on her good looks. good luck.......... Emine
#16 - EMINE - 01/19/2008 - 12:17
Well.. since i hit puberty i'v had this problem of dark circles.. and i know it can really put your self asteem and confidence to rock bottom!

But this fantastic solution worked for me.. and i want to share it with you also! Because it really does work =P

---->

Mix honey and flour to form a sloppy mixture.. along with a few drops of lemon juice! Add water to allow it to become just that little less solified and apply below your eyes! Keep it on until the flour hardens and starts to crumble. This should be about 10-15 minutes. Once its off.. wash your face with warm water! Apply every day- have a fixed time! I used to do it every evening =D.. And you'l have the WOW-FACTOR in no time!

Look beautiful.. Feel beautiful [X]

To #19's comment....
I bought Hylexin for $100 and used it for 8 months now and it did not help one bit! So home remedys are the way to go. Until you've done them all don't waste your money.

#26 - Frank White - 02/24/2008 - 21:23
:-o:-):-P:-[]

is there a way to get rid of them with out putting gross stuff on your eyes????
#27 - hi - 02/25/2008 - 15:28
:-) frank white try grated potato or cucumber if it doesn't work then drink water 6 glasses per day or simply when you go to sleep, i did try it, it really works. i mean when you go to sleep just crush one potato on the blender and put some on the dark circle under your eyes and let it overnight. when you wake up you will see some changes. Best of luck !
#28 - noory - 03/05/2008 - 07:22
Dark Circles under the eyes can also come from severe allergies. Things like dust and pollen get into your eyes and can cause your eyes to be worn and tired and scratchy and get dark circles under them.
#29 - Vsl - 03/19/2008 - 23:25
i use COFEE. dab a little under the eye and leave it on until its dry and wash it off.

(the coffe mixed with cold water)

its a quick fix though, and not permanent.

Gd luck

#34 - Natalie - 04/19/2008 - 18:17
For those of you who haven't had any luck with the home remedies, I have a little make-up trick that will help you cover the dark circles up!
A yellow tinted stick concealer (best is Physician's Formula Gentle Cover Concealer Stick in Yellow). Apply it as much as needed to cover any dark areas. Then apply a slightly lighter shade (than you would use on the entire face) of liquid foundation over the under eye area and blend. Next, take a mineral foundation (I use Physician's Formula Talc-Free Mineral Wear Loose Powder) and dust it over the under eye area (this mineral loose powder also works wonders on the whole face and gives it a nice glow). If after those steps the under eye area is too light to match the rest of your face, simply take your bronzer and lightly sweep it under your eyes but make sure to blend the bronze color to match the rest of your face for a nice summery glow and no dark circles! Hope it works for ya'll!
#35 - LeaMarie - 04/22/2008 - 10:50

Ok,I'm 12 and I have had dark circles very badly for about a year or 2 now and i wear concealer and powder but I would much rather just get rid of them for at least a period of time.I'm going into 7th grade and this is getting ridiculous. I think they may be hereditary because my dad and mom both have them only not as bad as me.I heard that it's very hard to get rid of hreditary circles but they look like the kind you could get rid of.So does anyone recomend anything for me?I will try the other remedies too so wish me luck :-) Good luck to everyone else too!
#40 - Layla - 06/05/2008 - 20:43
Dip betel leaves into boiled water with salt and wait until you can drink , eat the leaves and it works well . Easy to do , no expensive at all !
#41 - CIci - 06/14/2008 - 06:31
Hey everyone, I'm 14 years old and I've been struggling with extreme under eye bags for MANY years. They're in my genes. There isn't much you can do about them. Popped blood vessels are hard to overcome... especially if you have sensitive skin. So each morning when i get up and wash my face, I apply a bit of lotion to the area and dab some soft sheer cover concealer over it. (NEVER rub your concealer, ALWAYS dab using your ring finger or you'll get serious crows feet in a matter of years.) Sometimes I like to chill my eyes with high tannin tea and ice water. But mostly, just get more than enough sleep and drink lots of water. There is no cure. It's just in your genes. It pretty much sucks... hope this helped!
#42 - Shannon - 06/16/2008 - 15:51
Ive had bags for a couple years, right after my mom and dad broke up, but whats sad is that im only 13 and dont old people only get this kinda stuff, im realli sad because no guys realli like me because of the bags under my eyes, and ive came home crying about them, so will someone PLEASEE HELP ME WITH MY PROBLEM please:-(>-(
