Hi H.,
I have the same problem but I had it all my life! It sucks! But I bought this stuff by Lorell for dark circles under the eyes and it makes them a little litter. Also do you have alergerys? I asked my doctor about the dark circles and he told me it was due to my alergerys. Well I hoped that I helped!

I would try to get more rest and eat a healthy diet full of fruits and vegetables, organic when you can get it. It's good if you can plant a garden, or even just a few plants in the summer. Everything they add to food these days hurts us. Esp the meat and dairy. check out this site for more ideas.

Hello H., I'm definitely feeling u on the dark circle situation. I've had them too all my life but they seem to have gotten progressively worse as i got older. There r many contributing factors too why they get dark. 1. If ur a smoker that would bring them on. 2. If u have allergies 3.If u r anememic. Which i have all these factors except for the allergies.and stress will also play a factor in having them as well. My doctor says if i stop smoking because the smoking causes ur skin too darken and blocks ur pores. causing the follicles under ur skin too open and cause blockages that prevent the skin too secrete its natural oil. and for the stress he said that the best thing too do wirh the stress is too get rid of what ever is causing the stress.or learn too not let it stress u! and the allergies can be taken care of by the proper meds for what syptoms u have. i really don't get enough sleep but i don't have the dark circles as bad anymore. so get rid of the stress and get proper sleep,and have ur blood level checked it sure did make a difference. Need lots of iron but just the right amount. Hope this helped.

Use a concealer that is yellow in color. By applying the right color it can cause light to reflect differently and covers it up better. Thats why they have green concealer for red blemishes. Physicians formula make up has a yellow tinted concealer. Always protect your eyes from sun. Consider buying a moisturizer with SPF 15 in it.

I have no idea how to get rid of them but to mask them that is another story get a lighter foundation or concealer (even eyeshadow will do) and put it on under your eyes before putting on your regular foundation or powder

Use concealer under your eye's in one shade darker that you skin tone. I actually just read it in a magazine last night. Odd because I always thought you were suppose to use a lighter shade. Who knew. Hope it helps.
