ReplyDeleteMaybe what happened was because of allergies. My mom gets allergies because of chicken and she gets huge things on her face that look like mosquitos. I get lots of red dots all over my face when I throw up. Maybe you have allergies, ask your doctor. They can give you prescriptions and tell you what you are allergic to.
ReplyDeleteYou can use a bleaching cream with 2% hydroquinone.
ReplyDeleteYou can find it at most drug stores and in some grocery stores.
I also have dark circles too. It's usually because of allergies, stress, or you have not been getting lots of sleep you need.
ReplyDeleteWhen they are hereditary or due to allergies, the only answer is make-up! I've tried expensive dark circle-lightening eye creams with no result. You're better off finding the concealer which works best for you- I love Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat and Helena Rubenstein Extreme Concealer. A combination of both gives me the best results!
ReplyDeletecut 2 circles of a POTATOES and put them on your eyes for like 10-20 minutes, its like when u put cucumbers on your face, it really works my brother tried it and you could barely see the blackness!!!
ReplyDeleteRemedies For Dark Circles
ReplyDelete* An instant dark circles remedy is to use the correct concealer. The shade should be lighter than your foundation. If circles are very dark, choose 2 shades lighter. Great choices can be Revlon New Complexion Concealer, Estee Lauder Smoothing Skin Concealer, Cover Girl Smoothers Concealer, or Neutrogena Smoothing Skin Stick.
* Apply a good Vitamin K cream. Vita-K Solution gel or Peter Thomas Roth Power K Eye Rescue help strengthen capillary walls around the dark circles to make them less visible.
* One should go for laser treatment only if the case is chronic. Lasers can increase production of collagen thereby thickening skin to make dark circles less visible.
* Home remedies for dark circles can include the following:
1. Drink plenty of water to combat dehydration.
2. Wear at least SPF 30 sunscreen to prevent more sun damage.
3. Get enough sleep.
4. Leave cold teabags, cucumber or potato slices, or washcloths with ice cubes on eyes for 15 minutes regularly.
5. Take iron supplements if anemic, but consult your doctor first.
6. Identify the allergens and avoid them. Whether it be pollen, food, whatever, avoidance is the best solution to this. And avoid rubbing your eyes.
* Hylexin is the first dark circles eye cream developed for serious dark circles. Featured in several magazines such as Marie Claire, FashionWeekDaily, The Wall Street Journal , Star and Luck.
