Bags/Dark rings under eyes! Urgh!

For years now I've suffered with these dark rings/bags under my eyes, and I don't know what to do, I've tried under eye creams, getting lots of sleep, drinking lots of water etc but they wont go away! My girlfriend doesnt seem to mind, and no one has ever made a comment about them, but looking in a mirror, its the first thing I see, and i wish they would go down just a little bit! It always makes me look so tired in my opinion and I hate it! I see people and they just dont have any, it annoys me tbh. Any suggestions? :tsr:

I have really bad dark circles nothing I can do but clinique airbrush is amazing and gets rid of them enough for me not to feel too bad in public.

According to: You are what you eat

' Dark circles under eyes usually indicate food allergies and possible weak kidney energy.

Solution:
*Do not eat the same foods everyday.
*Drink cranberry juice (2 glasses daily for a week) '

reference: You are what you eat, book version.

and where the hell do you buy cranberry juice? I've never seen that for sale ever...
I think there are different causes so there are different solutions depending on the cause. If it's genetic there is not much you can do, no diet will change that. If you've always had these and they are never really better, then it's probably genetic.

You what? Every supermarket I've ever been in has it on sale right next to the other fruit juices.

Believe me I've tried everything, diet what I drink but makes no odds whatsoever.

Do one or both of your parents have the same dirk rings under their eyes? If yes, then you might have inherited it from them.

If you haven't inherited those dark bags under your eyes, then there must be some way you can get rid of it. In my opinion, you should try herbal medication.

In the UK... cool! I'll be there soon :biggrin:

Here they don't have cranberry juice in the supermarkets - never seen it there. Not that it will help me, the skin under my eyes has always been very translucent. :redface:

neither of my parents do but I have totally different colouring than both of them. I've even been to the doctors about it ages ago. Its nothing medical if I sleep about 10hrs a day and never drink caffeine then they look marginally better but its not worth it.

Try Holland & Barrett health stores in the UK for cranberry juice, I work there and I can tell you that they sell them.
