Dark Circles Under My Eyes
I always have bags and dark circles under my eyes, even though I sleep a lot. Why? How can I get rid of it?
You want your sweatshirts to be baggie, not your face. If your complexion is dark, the problem tends to be worse, but even light-skinned people can have this problem. This is all genetics’ fault, but stress, lack of sleep, dehydration, and poor diet can cause dark bags, too, says Dr. Ariel Ostad, a New York city dermatologist. So drink lots of water, eat fruits and vegetables, and keep getting plenty of sleep.
Meantime, try different concealers to even out darkness. For puffiness, place a wet tea bag over your eyes (uh, close them first) for 10 minutes in the morning. Cucumber slices contain a puff-fighting enzyme that helps, too. I
If you want a long-term bag-reducer, try dabbing on an antioxidant cream with vitamin A, like Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Nightly Renewal Cream, every evening. Hopefully, you’ll soon have other kind of bags (like shopping!).
