The dark circles around my eyes are getting pretty bad. I've tried using a few whitening creams that are meant for dark circles but they don't work on me. I've also tried getting enough sleep, too much sleep in fact. Does that cause dark circles too?
Do you have any idea how to get rid of these panda eyes I've got? I'm tired of using concealer every time I go out. If you guys could share your ideas, that would be really great. :)
Thanks a lot~!

Try the potato recipe for the dark circles:
"Method [these is a very convenient one and a not-very-convenient one]:
Very Convenient One: Slide the fresh potato; place the slides over the eye areas and rest for 10-15 mins. Then, clean the eye areas with water [just wash off the smell will do!].
But then I think this one is very convenient but the coverage won't be good enough.
Not-Very-Convenient One: Smash the fresh potatoes into paste; put the paste over the dark circle areas and rest for 10-15mins. Then wash off the paste with water.
Can be used daily."
I don't think too much sleep has to do with it but I think lack of good circulation around the area might be the reason. You can try slight massage the eye areas when you put on your eye cream at night so that gradually the circulation will be improved.

Awesome! I never knew this about potatoes... I've always only heard about cucumbers. Have you tried this before? Thanks a lot wondericequeen. I think I'll try both steps. :D

I haven't tried that myself because my dark circles are not that serious and I have glasses on all the time anyway. But I read from some Japanese tips book and they have people try that, it almost doesn't cost anything, so it should be worth a try. Of course the natural remedy takes a longer time and patience. But hope it would help!

Yes, I discovered that from a Japanese beauty tips book!

Yeah, I heard cucumbers work too but I've never tried it before. Maybe I should. I wish I had a lot of money to try out many eye creams. :( Thanks for responding yamskee..
