dark circles

[Stinkweed]

Would a good night's sleep make them go away? Or would it take more than that, like at least a week of only good night's sleep? I think I look like a drug addict, or someone going through rehab or something...

You need 8 hours of sleep per night, every night

And be sure you don't lack iron

And sometimes it's genetic and you can't help it.

Well, it wasn't there before this year, so I doubt it's genetic, cause I'm pretty sure it's gone away before when I've had a good night's sleep but I usually notice they're gone only after I've been having like a month sleeping 8-9 hours a night. I don't think it's iron either, so yeah... It's gotta be that I need more sleep. I was just wondering if it would go away fast, cause I don't have as much control over my sleep sometimes seeing as I am forced to work late at nights on school, sometimes.

LOL, I have the same problem.

 

Bottom line is, you need a well balanced lifestlye.

 

No smoking if you do smoke.

Good sleeping habits.

Moisturising the skin

drinking plenty of water

And plenty of exercise.

I always have dark circles and I sleep just fine. Something can be genetic and just show up as you age.

Dehydration can give you dark circles under the eyes, plus not enough sleep etc. Try drinking loads of water, and getting enough sleep, eating properly and all that. Worth a try, because it can be a sign of just not looking after yourself.

Oh I drink a LOT of water, especially when I run in the morning, cause if I don't I feel tired all day and I get cramps on my legs. I'm talking about like 2 glasses every hour, especially towards the earlier part of the day. I'm telling your it's the sleep... I just wish I had more control over that.

Only this week. I'm a health freak all of the time, otherwise, except maybe for my sleeping pattern.

So which is it? Are they gone after a "good night's sleep" or are they gone after "a month of sleeping 8-9 hours a night"?

 

The best predictor of future performance is past performance. You need to set the proper baselines.

 

Yeah, I guess it'll take a while. Well, guess I'll just keep them throughout all of my youth. They might go away over the summer if I don't take summer classes, though. Cause then, even if I stay up late, I'll be able to sleep in.

My mom and all but one of my siblings have the dark circles. Me, my dad and older brother are the only ones with out them. I don't think it's the sleep, well not for me at least. When i was working last summer i was going 6 hours a night for 2 months and i didn't get the circles.

and I also noticed that when I don't sleep well for long periods of time, what I suspect is gynecomastia, gets worse...

Circles under your eyes are mainly genetic, I believe. I have very dark circles and just wear concealer daily - suits me fine. I also use SPF lotion on my face, which helps to some degree, in keeping them from getting worse. At one time I tried some of those high-end creams made specifically for dark circles, but they did absolutely nothing.
