Dark skin and circles around my eyes. Anyone know what i can do to make it disappear or lighten the skin?

I have dark skin around my eyes. I have dark circles under my eyes, dark skin above my eyes and dark around the skin between the corners of my eyes and my nose. I think it makes me look horrible, especially during pictures. I was wondering if anyone knew what i could do to make this darkness go away, or lighten it. I know they probably make some kind of cream or something, any home remedies? Thank you so much.|||My friend has very dark circles around her eyes, she has to use a concealer. I am not sure which brand she uses. If I were you, I would go to Macy%26#039;s, or another similar dept store. Go up to one of the skin care/make-up counters, and ask for help. They should have samples for you to try.|||Have your vitamin D level checked.and get some sun ,also get more sleep. remove all your makeup, and clean your face real good each night. use a good moisturizer.|||Dr. Perricone%26#039;s AEAT.|||Rose Hip oil is good.|||I think this may answer your question.





This is a response I received from wannabeblue28:


%26quot;Hi Mukunda M. I have just been rubbing my face with oil using my fingers and hands and It has made a HUGE difference in my complexion after just one night. ...... My skin looks so much tighter everywhere and i no longer have bags under my eyes! Thank you so much for your post, I have been suffering with acne and under-eye circles since i was young.%26quot;





She had seen an answer I gave about how vigorous face massaging with essential oils had permanently got rid of my acne and also removed my bags/circles. The massages greatly tighten skin under and around the eye area and the bags go away.





The most helpful ones are: Using both hands together (1) Do long up and down sweeps close to nose from chin area up to near eyes. (2) Do another up and back at an angle from chin point to cheek bone. (3) Do fast up and down massage close to eye from cheek bones at an angle of 45 degrees (on your crows feet). If do all 3 for several minutes daily - will markedly tighten skin and diminish the circles in the first two days. Use any oil. Olive is good. To avoid skin pulling first make skin taught by partially opening mouth and pulling lips firmly back against teeth(tightens most of face)





Additionally facial yoga exercises help a great deal. Find on Youtube. Do the %26quot;The lion face%26quot; and try to hold for 30 seconds. A variation of that is protruding the tongue as if trying to touch tip of nose with tip of tongue.





YOGA MEDITATION is a great help.and is easy to do. Contact me for more info. It enables you to completely relax and gives you deep, restful sleep. 6 hours of restful sleep is considerably more beneficial than 8 or more hours of non restful sleep.

The usual rules apply with all health and beauty, get plenty of sleep (8+ hours) and good diet 鈥?it may be down to food allergies (dairy and caffeine being the most common - consider allergy tests both for food and common allergies such as pollen and dust), lack of iron can seriously contribute to the problem, excessive toxin build-up can be a factor too (drinking lots of water will help).





There isn%26#039;t that much you can do with dark circles, you can reduce puffiness which in turn helps with dark circles. Have you ever heard of models using hemorrhoid cream to ease off puffy eyes? Well they do, it works because the active ingredient is witch hazel, this deals with puffiness the same way it%26#039;d ease swelling in hemorrhoids or spots - so get some Preparation H or just a simple witch hazel gel. Another tip is using cooled chamomile tea bags applied to eyes for 15 minutes, or keep teaspoons in the freezer to pop under your eyes in the morning.





Use a light concealer, but not too light, try using a concealer with a yellow tint to hide dark circles but be sure to dab rather than rub as if you%26#039;re harsh under your eyes it can make things worse, try using a sponge or your middle finger which will apply less pressure than your forefinger. I find mascara makes things worse as half way through the day it ends up under my eyes, so I avoid that problem by dying my lashes, then curl with eyelash curlers before applying a little oil (coconut oil is best as it soothes tired eyes too) to wipe off powder from my lashes, hold in place and emphasise.
