Anti Aging Skin Tips

What is the cause of dark eye circles, what are the remedies / creams to help?

I get enough sleep. I drink water, I exercise. I dont smoke. Still, I have black/purple rings under my eyes. Yes, I use ysl cover up stick and touch eclat but i still have dark circles under my eyes, and want them to be less visable with out the need of makeup. If I have dark circles, does this mean that i am lacking something in my diet? Does it mean that my body is toxic??? Any evidence/sources of this? Thanks.

1. It can mean many things, lack of sleep, allergies... improper diet. Check out sephora.com philosophy has some good products and so does l'occitane.
2. I have some stuff that I got from HSN. It is a blue creme that you put under your eyes and then your foundation on top. It works really well to remove the appearance of the dark circles. I know this isn't answering your question, but I am in the same boat as you. I try to do everything right and still I have those dark circles. This is my best solution. :-)
3. God they're annoying aren't they? I think it depends on your genes as well, everyone on my dads side have dark circles around their eyes. Sounds like your doing everything right. Check your diet, if your lacking in any vitamins and minerals you might benefit from taking a multivitamin. Also when you apply your moisturiser gently massage the area around your eye to stimulate blood flow. Also i saw an advert in a mag once about an eye cream specifically for this, it was about £90 an only available in Harrods. Sorry i can't remember the name. Expensive but worth a try if your desperate.
4. Those dark circles under your eyes are called bags. It's mainly because your lacking sleep,( are you getting the full 8 hours that your supposed to ? ). Also, you should be eating healthy. Like, don't be eating fast food alot and stuff. All you need is good sleep my dear.
5. Dark circles can treated with regular and gentle care.Cover your eyes with cotton soaked in luke warm milk for 15 minutes everyday to remove the dark circles around your eyes or dip cotton pads into freshly extracted mint juice, flatten them and place them on closed eyelids for 10 to 15 minutes.
