AHH! So thats what cucumber slices are used for... I knew they had some beauty application but I hadn't a clue what, specifically!

I know your post said "don't say sleep" but I think sleeping more is the easiest, painless and relaxing solution. best wishes.

I heard somewhere apparently putting cold spoons underneath your eyes will help also... no idea how in the world it would help thought...

I tried the cucumbers, the only think i received was a whack to the shin wen i tried to walk to the door (i bumped into my chair)...

just the coolness (of spoons or cucumber) soothes them. it really does work

I heard cold raw potatoes are meant to work too?! If you want to use make up to cover them, I suggest using Yves Saint Laurents- Touche e clat...........I think its spelt vaguely like that! :biggrin: It is very good at covering dark circle, it's about £20 but well worth it!!!

If they're hereditary (like mine are) then there isn't much you can do except buy a good concealer. :frown:

But I find that having a really hot bath helps get lighten them...just steam em out. :p:

i use one about twice a week and it does it's job. i guess it varies from person to person- depends on your skin and it depends on which one you use
