Dark circles

[Andy008]

What are the best products for banishing dark circles/puffy eyes?

Hi Andy. You can get 'Fade Away' especially for under your eyes now. My mum bought a tube from Boots last week. Not sure if it works yet though x

The cheapest way is by putting slices of cold cucumber or chilled used tea bags on your eyes whilst lying down for about 15 minutes - 30 minutes.

The luxurious way is to buy Radiant Touch by Yves Saint Laurent. It is expensive, but lasts forever, does the job, hides (not banishes) dark circles, softens lines and is used by all the top models, beauty therapists - and me!

Hi Andy ... Hooray a man with the same problem as I had.

I had dark circles and puffyness, as well as quite a few more lines that I should have for 26 (because i always seem to squint when I laugh- yes I know I should stop laughing) BUT I spent months using all sorts of stuff from garnier and avon. I found the stuff they have at www.medik8.com worked a treat for me. I used the Medik8 Prelift X4 for my eyes, and then after about a month I went on to Medik8 Pretox 3 htp... a non injection type of botox for �80 and it is brill....100% worked on me

Hylexin? Expensive, but it's what all the celbrities allegedly use.

I was told that in men dark circles (or the appearance of them) is largely due to the bone structure of somebody's face i.e. the actors Daniel Craig, Nigel Harman and musician Mike Skinner both have naturally deep set eyes and there is very little that can be done to conceal this.

On the other hand Mackenzie Crook deliberately starved himself of sleep to play Gareth Keenan in The Office.

Hi Andy - I had this problem for years and was sooo self conscious of it.Then I found a cream called Dark Eye Bag Doctor from a website called Bewti.com .It costs about �14 for quite a big tube which would last months and months.I didnt tell a sould I was using it,and after two weeks I met my friend for lunch and she asked me how on earth I had got rid of the dark circles and bags - she just couldnt believe the difference.

Almond oil is another natural ingredient which is very beneficial for the delicate skin around your eyes. All you need to do is to apply a little almond oil over the dark circles before going to bed and wash it off with cold water the next morning. Repeating this for at least a month will make your dark circles disappear almost entirely.
