1. Cucumber slices put on the closed eyes, for 15 minutes work wonders. A good night's sleep also helps.
2. well have you tried the cucumber thing
3. You can try cold sliced cucumbers. You can also put a couple of drops of visine into a spoon and put it into the freezer. Once its frozen, pop out the little Visine disc and put it under your eye and massage it in until it melts. If you have any makeup, a great color to hide dark circles is a salmon color.
4. cucumber slices
5. I have same problem, so does my mom. It's genetic. Proper sleep and lessen stress help. One tip I got from a department store make up make over is that yellow cancels purple. So if you can find some yellowish concealer it will help cover and disapear them.
6. use a bit of foundation on the area and then pat the area with a powder. and visine is a brand of eye drops ;)
7. There are many causes of dark circles, from age, heredity, allergies, cold or sinus infection, bone structure and glasses which are not so commonly known. http://www.mydarkcirclesblog.com/2006/11/27/causes-of-dark-circles/ If you would like to apply home remedies to reduce dark circles, here are some of my suggestions: Buy a box of regular, old fashioned unflavored gelatin (e.g. Knox) from grocery store. Take a small cup or bowl and put in 1 teaspoon of the gelatin mix. Add one tablespoon of boiling water & stir for a minute. Test it on your wrist to make sure it is not too hot. Then, using a cotton ball, pat it under your eyes as you would an eye cream or gel. Go lie down and listen to some music, or take a bath & let it stay on for at least 30 minutes. Then just rinse it off. Gelatin is very high in Vitamin K & Biotin. It will not remove your dark circles on the first application (but you will notice a difference), but if you do it daily for a week, and then 2-3 times a week for maintenance, you should notice a drastic reduction in dark circles. http://www.mydarkcirclesblog.com/2007/01/01/special-spa-home-remedy-to-reduce-dark-circles/ To hide dark circles, you can use YSL concealer or salmon concealer.. http://www.mydarkcirclesblog.com tips on how to reduce dark circles, the causes of dark circles, home remedies; eye creams reviews, make up tips, and natural healer. http://www.cleansecolonblog.com Cleanse Colon Blog writes about colon cleanse home remedies and review colons cleanse products.

11. Okay sugar! I've tried it all. The potato, the cucumber, the chamomile tea bag, the frozen spoon... even a mix of all three together nothing worked. I tried every over the counter product... nothing. But I did find one solution. Believe it or not the gelatin really does work! I make my own mask and use it all over my face. 1 large spoon of plain yogurt 1/2 spoon of milk 1/2 spoon of plain gelatin (not jello. Knox is the only brand I know of) I whip that up, slap a little on my face, let it sit for 30 minutes everyday after I take my makeup off. Wash away and tada!! It will leave your skin soooo soft and it will get rid of your dark circles in about a week. A bonus for me; it also got rid of my acne scars and spider viens in about a week!! If you have any left, just put it in a storage container and keep in the fridge for the next night/morning.
