any way to get rid of dark circles under your eyes?

RaceCarRiot · 03-14-2003, 11:55 AM

...other than sleep?

seriously. i'm so busy with work anymore, it seems like no matter how much sleep i get (i still manage 7-8 hours pretty regularly at the expense of having a life), i still look like ed norton when he visits the doctor in fight club.

Nick Nolte recommends laying off the 3 day coke and vodka benders.

put ice on em. It actually works if you have baggage under ur eyes.

I think there's chick stuff you can apply. My wife gets some Lancome (sp?) stuff that she likes...

But you will be ghey for using make-up.

Sleep
Cucumber slices
Tea bags
Preparation H !!
Surgery to put a layer of fat between skin and dark blood vessels - $2-3K/eye !!!

i don't think lack of sleep is the issue...i think it's just being overworked. i'll try throwing ice on them for a while to see if they go away...

chick stuff is an option...as long as it actually DOES something to make it go away, and isn't a foo foo cover up...i'm sure there's a less fruity off the shelf equivalent you can get at target or something. i don't give a damn, i'm secure.

i just want results.

I believe it's called pancake (cause it looks like pancake mix?)

IN one of my men's health I got a free sample for dark-circle stuff for guys. I don't remember what it was called, but they do make the stuff for men.

See a physician. Concealers don't address the root cause of your dark cirlces. It's most likely a health/wellness issue. You have too much stress in your life, and you need to manage it better. That may mean more sleep, yoga, meditation, healthier eating habits, etc. These changes are all difficult, but at least you're not wearing make up.

get punched... it'll complement the black with subtle hints of blue...
also helps even out the distribution... you'll have a dark circle over your eye too

Get a tan?!

Seriously, no real "quick fixes" out there besides getting more rest/sleep. I'm sure you've heard of the old girlie trick of putting cucumber slices on your eyes before turning in at night (they even sell faux cucumber patches at your local drugstore). Not sure if they work but guess it's worth a shot if you're really self-conscious, pretty boy!

Peace

wear them with pride.

People will think you're dark and mysterious.

Could be allergy. Your sinuses could be clogged. I have a coworker who gets it when his sinuses are clogged.
Check with your practitioner.

Use the Hillary Clinton method. Get plastic surgery then lie about it later on if anybody asks.

Amazake · 03-15-2003, 10:19 AM

i suffer from rings around the eyes. i was told by a dermatologist to use either.

lab series eye treatment formula or

clinique all about eyes i woula have to say the clinique works better. what i do is buy it when filene's or macy's is having a promo and then give all of the free make-up to a girlfried or family member.
