Re: 16 and with eye bags :/I sleep lots and my diet is healthy n all that jazz, but I still get dark circles reaaaally easily. I guess there's nothing we can do. I've read somewhere it's genetic, so maybe we are just this way and we can't change it(Original post by The_Soul_Patch)

Re: 16 and with eye bags :/I heard through the grapevine that placing hot/warmish teabags on closed eyelids for about 10 minutes daily reduces the appearance of dark circles.
good luck... or if that don't work, go down to MAC/your local drugstore and purchase some concealer. -

Re: 16 and with eye bags :/Sometimes they are genetic and there is very little you can do about it, I'm 18 and have really dark circles and it seems to run in my family. The only thing that has slightly improved mine is moisturising (and a really good concealer helps me too).

Yeah mine is hereditary also.
You should try it, like I said it doesn't improve the eye wrinkles but it does help the darkness slightly
But what can I do for my wrinkles, natural or some eye cream :/

Re: 16 and with eye bags :/I use a roll on eye ball thing... It's made by Simple but I think you can get Garnier ones too. I don't get the dark bags but I get really puffy bags under my eyes
I think it says on it you can use it for dark bags -

Re: 16 and with eye bags :/Could be genetic, also think about allergies too. Do you have allergies?
I have dark circles too since I was like 13. Combination of genetics (I have Mediterranean olive skin) and allergies. Just have to live with it. My skin looks great when I have a tan though and they basically just blend in. -

Re: 16 and with eye bags :/After going through pictures of when I was younger, I noticed in them I started to get very faint discolouration underneath my eyes starting from the age of around 6-7.
I've had numerous tests done and nothing seems to indicate that these are health related, they are just hereditary. They are more pronounced when I'm ill or tired, but even people who don't have 'bags' under their eyes when they are fine get them.
If you're concerned about them, by all means go to your GP and they can run some tests to see if there is anything wrong with you that might be causing them. Being anaemic to tends to cause them and your GP can find that out by doing some blood tests... but other than that, they are most likely hereditary... Also they probably don't look as bad to other people than they do to you... -

Re: 16 and with eye bags :/I've had the same problem since i was a kid, im pretty sure its genetic when i look at my dad and grandparents siblings etc... i find using cold cucumber helps reduce it and using ice on my eyes as it constricts the blood vessels.
'benefit' the company did a really good cream which helped, im not sure if they still do it in the UK -

Re: 16 and with eye bags :/I have that and to be honest it could just be genetic. My cousin and sister are exactly the same. Finding a good concealer helps a lot (the No7 one is great!) but there isn't really anything you can do about the shape. It sucks(Original post by The_Soul_Patch)
