They start writing songs and performing live for almost a year, when Duffy leaves the band and Duran Duran jump to stardom. Twenty years later the former singer came across an old tape recording of a show. Shortly afterwards, Rhodes and Duffy met by chance at a fashion show, and began talking about the old music and decided it might be fun to re-record some of those original, dark, art-school, pre-Le Bon tracks. The Devils is their incarnation, and Dark Circles the resulting album, created with vintage analog instruments but modern production techniques, while lyrics remained unchanged. This promo video for Hawks Do Not Share is directed by Nick Rhodes. Production by Gary Oldknow at Deepvisual [ www.deepvisual.com ]. Featuring model Raquel Azevedo.

Laser Skin Treatment Removes Acne Scars

Acne can be devastating at any age, but far worse than the condition itself is the scarring left behind. While the pimples and infections will eventually go away and can be treated, many teens are left with the reminders on their faces in the form of unpleasant scars. Fortunately, they don't have to live with them forever.

With laser skin treatment, acne scars are treatable. This process is also referred to as laser skin resurfacing and it can make all the difference in a person suffering from acne or another skin issue.

How It Works

The advancements in laser technology have made it possible to use this treatment to resurface the skin and not only remove acne scars, but also to treat the active cases. After a laser skin treatment, acne is greatly reduced and may even be eliminated after several procedures.

When the laser is focused on areas of the skin, it burns away the top layer and penetrates the skin to stimulate cell growth. This has the effect of producing an entirely new layer of skin, fresh and unscathed. Since this is a rather delicate procedure, it's important that only a trained professional perform it.

What to Expect

This technique works very well on fair skinned people, but requires a little more finesse on those with darker skin, since the laser could cause loss of pigmentation or color. It can be used on a variety of scars caused by pimples and infections. These might include irregular skin, pitting or even raised areas of scar tissue, depending on how the infection was treated.

Before treatment, you'll be briefed on what is going to happen. Your eyes will need to be protected, so the spa professional will cover them. This just ensures that there will be no accidental exposure, though the laser will not be used near your eyes.

The procedure can be slightly painful, so often a topical anesthetic is applied to help with that. Any discomfort after the treatment can be relieved with Tylenol. Depending on the type of laser used, you may have some recovery time and require multiple sessions. The least invasive laser treatment, Fraxel, is virtually painless, non-invasive and requires several treatments in order to achieve good results. For this reason, some people prefer the stronger CO2 laser.

Resurfacing the entire face can take up to 2 hours, but most people only need a partial treatment for specific areas which takes far less time. If you opt for the strongest and most invasive treatments, you could end up with a few weeks of recovery ahead of you. However, at the end of it, you'll have smooth, much improved skin.

Not Just For Acne

While laser treatment is a great way to help acne and remove the scars, there are plenty of other uses. It's been a common way to get rid of fine wrinkles and liver spots in celebrities for several years and now the public has access to this, as well. As an anti-aging treatment, lasers are quite successful. They can also be used to reduce or even remove (with multiple treatments) hair in areas where it is unwanted.

Laser skin treatments can be found at spas that offer more technologically advanced techniques. It's a procedure that should only be done by professionals who have the experience with the equipment, since misuse could cause problems like burns and loss of pigmentation. A properly equipped spa will be able to treat acne and other skin problems without issue, though.

As this acne treatment becomes more common, you'll find that more and more spas offer this option. The popularity also brings the price down, making this a procedure that nearly anyone can afford.


Question...

Are there any at home skin laser treatments on the market?

I've seen all these advertisements for the skin laser treatments at the dermatology office and I just wanted to know if there is something similiar that is available as an at-home treatment...

Where could you purchase that kind of equipment?


Answers...

Answer by lil southern girl
No there are not, and for good reason. An untrained person operating a laser can easily burn themselves with scarring, or even blind themselves. I have had laser hair removal, and if you ever do, you will see that the tech operates with eye protection at all times.

Answer by bubbly
I don't think there is one for at home but I can tell you if you want beautiful skin try arbonne. This is an absolutely amazing line of beauty stuff. i out about it at a local salon and dont know how I lived without it.

Thu, 03 Jun 2010 18:14:34 -0700 Dark Circle http://skinbeauty.posterous.com/dark-circle http://skinbeauty.posterous.com/dark-circle Dark Circles - Popular Home Remedies for Dark Circles

Dark circles under your eyes might reveal a couple of "dark truths" about your personal health. They usually occur when you're overtired or developing an illness or an allergy. They can also result from losing a lot of weight. But the discolorations--the result of engorged blood vessels around your eyes--are themselves medically harmless. In fact, sometimes they're not even an indication of physical problems. "They may be frightening, but probably the best thing you can do is to stop worrying about them," says Merrill M. Knopf, M.D., an ophthalmologist in Long Beach, California, and an officer of the California Association of Ophthalmology.

Almost everyone gets dark circles under their eyes from time to time. Dark circles under eyes usually are temporary and not a medical concern. The most common factor is heredity, but any irritant that causes chronic tissue swelling (allergy, fluid retention, eyelash infection, rubbing, sun exposure, metabolic imbalance, medications such as birth control pills, etc.) may contribute. In cases of increased melanin deposition, blepharoplasty or fat grafting surgery will neither improve nor aggravate the discoloration.

Causes of Dark Circles

• lack of sleep

• iron or other vitamin deficiencies

• sickness

• hyper pigmentation

• "excessive" visualization (due to medications such as Retin A)

• visible blood vessels due to fast loss, thin, aging skin or hereditary thinness or superficial vessels

• fat loss in general which causes a sunken look

Home Remedies for Dark Circles

Dark Circles can be removed by applying peeled and grated potato overnight at least three times a week.

Avoiding use of bleach or peels to make the dark circles around eyes light.

Apply vitamin K cream. Although studies haven't looked at the use of topical vitamin K for dark circles under the eyes, preliminary studies have found that vitamin K may help with bruising.

A complete step-by-step nutrition guide to improve your diet thus reducing dark circles.

Take a teaspoon of tomato juice, a few drops of lemon juice, a pinch of turmeric powder (if you are not allergic to it) and a little flour, enough to make a paste.

Massaging eyes with almond oil is of great help. Massage at bed time daily, and in two weeks you will see the difference. It is also a good remedy for dark circles.

Mash a cucumber, with the skin still on it, and apply the juice to your face. Leave it on for at least fifteen minutes, and then wash off. Also, make sure you drink enough water, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep.

Apply a paste of lemon juice, tomato puree, orange lentil flour (masoor dal ) and turmeric powder (if you are not allergic to it) on under eye dark circles. Leave it for 15 minutes and wash it off.

Every morning, after washing your face, gently apply mixture of equal parts of tomato and lime juice; wash after half an hour.

Apply plain cool teabags over closed eyes. Don’t use herbal teabags because most aren't as effective.

Yoga can also help you to get rid of dark circles. Do pranayam for atleast 5 minutes everyday.

Almond helps to remove dark circles and is an excellent "skin food". Remove the cream applied around the eye after 10 min. No cream should be left on the skin around the eyes for long periods.

Thu, 03 Jun 2010 15:56:25 -0700 Laser Surgery for Dark Circles http://skinbeauty.posterous.com/laser-surgery-for-dark-circles http://skinbeauty.posterous.com/laser-surgery-for-dark-circles






Festoons-the "Bags" Below The Dark Circles Under Your Eyes

The area of your face surrounding your eyes is the first area to show signs of aging. Correction of eyelid hooding and removal of bags and dark circles under the eyes using a technique called Blepharoplasty is one of the most frequently performed Plastic Surgery operations in the United States.


Many people however have excess puffy skin on the cheekbone just beneath the eyelid, called a festoon or malar bag, which a blepharoplasty or face-lift will not correct. In fact, after a lower eyelid blepharoplasty, festoons can actually look worse, because after the removal of the puffiness of the lower eyelid above the festoon, the festoon stands out and is much more noticeable.


Festoons, or malar bags are a very difficult problem to solve. The most common complaint about festoons arises after a blepharoplasty has been done to remove puffiness or bags from the lower eyelids. Following a lower eyelid blepharoplasty the festoons often look worse, and patients notice them for the first time.


Direct excision or surgical removal is the contemporary standard however the scars are unacceptable.

There have been experimental results with laser resurfacing using the CO2 laser-but the recovery requires 3-4 weeks of redness and a difficult recovery. In addition although the festoon is tightened, long term the treated area is hypo pigmented, of a lighter color than the surrounding untreated skin

A newer method we are using and have had encouraging results with is "skin tightening" with Infrared or radiofrequency energy-there is no down time but 4-5 treatments are necessary spaced 4-5 weeks apart and a final result takes 6 months.


There is a new Radiofrequency skin-tightening machine, the Aluma that is designed to allow us to treat this specific small area of the face.


If you are considering facial or eyelid rejuvenation be sure to check for the presence of malar bags or festoons. If you have festoons and undergo a blepharoplasty there is risk that the festoons will look more prominent. Be sure to discuss the possibility of skin tightening or other treatment of the festoon with your plastic surgeon.

Question...

Will surgery for dark circles affect me.?

Well, first off I'm 14 years old and about 5 feet and five inches. I have a moderate case of dark circles (what my dermatologist said), but they seem pretty bad, and most definetly affect how I look, so If I get laser surgery or what ever it is to remove dark circles, will it affect me? Thanks-you!


Answers...

Answer by Lucy
If you choose to use laser surgery to strengthen the undereye skin and muscles, thereby improving the look of undereye circles, then it is time to seek out plastic surgeons who might be able to perform the procedure for you. Narrow your choices down to two or three physicians and make an initial "free" consultation with each to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure, how much it will cost, and any other information you require. Be sure to go in with a list of questions that you need answered before you make your decision. Choose the surgeon who best meets your needs, expectations, and budget. Be aware that laser surgery can be extremely expensive, ranging into thousands of dollars and will likely require re-treatment within a relatively short amount of time (three to five years, depending upon your individual situation and your lifestyle, health, diet, and other factors).

Our eyes are one of the first places that show signs of aging. As we age we develop redundant skin on the eyelids which unfortunately makes us look tired. Eyelid Surgery Blepharoplasty which is a simple outpatient procedure can reverse these changes and restore a more youthful and rested appearance. The eyes will appear more rested and vibrant after Los Angeles Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery. Most often the results are so natural that friends and coworkers will comment on how great you look, without realizing that Los Angeles Cosmetic Eyelid Surgery was performed. The incision for Eyelid Surgery Blepharoplasty is hidden in natural creases of the eyelid, and it heals extremely well. Lower eyelid bags and dark circles are two of the most common reasons patients see me for a Eyelid Cosmetic Surgery consultation. Each patient will have a different story and presentation, although most patients have the same common complaint, over the past few years Ive noticed these dark circles and bags, which I didnt have before, and they make me look and feel tired. Another common complaint is that Im tired of people telling me I look tired. As you will see in this section, there are multiple reasons for the development of dark circles and lower eyelid bags.

Thu, 03 Jun 2010 04:23:02 -0700 Dark Circle Treatment http://skinbeauty.posterous.com/dark-circle-treatment http://skinbeauty.posterous.com/dark-circle-treatment Best Dark Circles Treatment Options

Be warned: not all dark circles treatment options are created equal.

As with everything in life, there are options for you to treat the dark circles under your eyes in a cheap way, in a natural manner, in a fast method, and in an effective technique.  But you can be sure that not all of these cures promise the same efficacy for the same price and the same ease of use.

There will be always methods that are easier than others, products that are cheaper than others, and ways that are more effective.  If dark circles are a problem for you, then you should find a way to treat them in the most effective, efficient, and budget-friendly manner.

A lot of people find themselves unsatisfied with the results of their chosen treatment precisely because they choose them for the wrong reasons – the packaging is cute, the medicine’s name has a nice ring to it, the method is the current craze that everyone is following.

It is not enough that you just pick a treatment for dark circles in random or based on hearsay or weak reasons.  Dark circles appear in your skin, and your skin is the largest organ in your body. It has a big effect on your overall health, so take treatment for this condition with more care.

There are a lot of dark circles treatment options available now, and it is only important that you weight all your options carefully.  There are some issues with laboratory-prepared solutions.

First, they mainly contain substances that may actually do more harm than good.  Remember, these solutions will be applied to your skin that has dark circles, and whatever is applied to the skin will eventually be absorbed and will enter into our bloodstream.

Second, most if not all eye creams for dark circles and other medical solutions are not friendly to your budget at all.  Remember, products available in the market are manufactured, along with all the good intentions of well-being and health, for a profit.  

Manufacturers will always find a way to insert occasions to raise profit in their products – whether it is in the packaging, additional “natural and organic” ingredients, diluted ingredients, among others.  Make sure that you get your money’s worth with whatever treatment you choose.

Lastly, some medical and all cosmetic methods (except surgery maybe) do not really give permanent relief from dark circles.  By applying make-up, you are not really solving the problem of dark circles, you are just concealing it.  Dark circles treatment including eye creams can only deliver results as long as they are used.

So, you might have to go back to step 1 if you stop using these products.  You have the option of using natural solutions for dark circles.  Natural remedies are often not taken seriously because they are not prepared by people in lab gowns in buildings.

Mostly, if not all the time, you will be preparing these homemade, natural solutions.  They will cost you very little and you can use ingredients readily available in your house.  You can be sure that you’re not putting anything harmful in your system and you’re not hurting your wallet.


Question...

Are there any good dark circle eye creams?

I have hereditary dark circles. I drink plenty of water, and get enough sleep. Tea bags and cucumbers don't work, yadda yadda. My eyes aren't puffy, I just have dark circles. Does anyone know of a good dark circle treatment that works for chronic dark circles?

Wed, 02 Jun 2010 18:11:46 -0700 Black Circles Around Eyes http://skinbeauty.posterous.com/black-circles-around-eyes http://skinbeauty.posterous.com/black-circles-around-eyes Black Circles in Eyes - What Are the Causes and Cures?

Having dark circles around the eyes are a big no-no when it comes to beauty and aesthetics. These dark circles around the eyes are sometimes called "eye bags" or "bags under the eyes". These dark colored eye bags do not appear attractive and usually cause longer stares and questioning looks even from strangers. All of us do not want to be in any of those situations. We want to look young, fresh and attractive in our own eyes and we definitely want others to think the same way too. There are many possible causes to having dark circles around the eyes which will be dealt with in this article. If you have tried out numerous ways which do not seem to work at all, then, reading this article will definitely be the answer for you. We will be revealing anti-aging products which really work and beauty steps to ensure a healthy, young looking skin.


Causes


The dark circles we sometimes see surrounding our eyes are caused by different reasons. The most common cause is actually traced back through genetics --- it is hereditary. When we say it is hereditary, it does not simply mean that your parents pass it on to you but actually made up of different factors.. Some people have naturally thin and more transparent skin than others. The blood passing through the blood vessels often create a bluish color that may be seen through the thinnest skin: around the eyes.


The next cause of dark eye circles is stress and fatigue. If a person lacks sleep or is over fatigued, then the skin acquires a pale coloring thus making the blood underneath more visible through the paled skin.


Age is also another natural factor for eye bags. As one ages, the amount of collagen is our skin cells are significantly reduced, thus making the skin more translucent. Remember, the more translucent skin is, the easier blood vessels show.


Allergies like eczema and asthma may also be likely causes for dark eye circles. The dark color around the eyes may even be worsened if scratched or rubbed.


Lastly, dark eye circles may also be symptoms of medical conditions like bad blood circulation or excessive dehydration. In these cases, extra attention should be given.


Cures


The good news about dark eye circles is the fact that t can be cured. Although the exact level would be different for different people, it is very possible to significantly reduce the darkness especially with the latest and most effective anti-aging products.


The first remedy for dark eye circles is to apply anti-aging products like a cold cream. The components of cold cream help soothe the skin and vessels while increasing skin health. Another home remedy for eye bags is to apply anti-aging products with almond oil and honey around the eyes and gently massage for a few minutes. This method is done to lighten the skin around the eyes.


Another effective home cure for these eye conditions is to use moisturizing anti-aging products especially those with natural ingredients that directly contribute to the skin's benefit. Such ingredients are avocado oil, sesame, vitamin E and vitamin K.


Aside from anti-aging products that can work wonders for your eyes, it is also important not to forget the natural methods to take care of eyes and skin. Remember to drink plenty of water (ten glasses is advisable to those who want better skin). Sufficient and restful sleep is also necessary to provide the body enough energy to recuperate thus producing new cells. Eating healthy foods especially those rich in vitamins and minerals also do the trick. Remember, anti-aging products can do wonders for your skin but sleep, rest and good food will bring out the best in your skin and health.

Wrinkle Cream Eye Review - Does Any Wrinkle Cream Really Work?

You will find this brief wrinkle cream eye review more helpful than some of the others.  Instead of telling you how this or that under eye wrinkle cream worked for me.  Let me tell you about some that you should avoid due to hazardous ingredients.


Avon Wrinkle Cream Eye Review


Cosmetic companies include lots of hazardous ingredients in their creams and lotions.  Because the skin beneath the eyes is extremely delicate and thinner than other portions of the face, you should never buy under eye wrinkle cream that contains known irritants or allergens.


It is also important because the creams are to be used so close to the eyes and are likely to get in to the eyes.  The Avon product contains six different ingredients that are known to irritate the skin and eyes, as well as methyl-paraben which is prone to cause allergic reactions.


But, worse still, they include an anti-caking agent called Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, a compound that is known to be toxic to the human nervous system.


Jack Black Wrinkle Cream Eye Review


As far as hazardous ingredients are concerned, Jack decided to include most of them in his under eye wrinkle cream.  Maybe, he thought that “tough guys” could handle it.


Out of 31 different ingredients, only four of them are non-hazardous.  The worst one is an emulsifier known as PEG-8 STEARATE, a known skin irritant that is toxic to human organs.


Klein-Becker Wrinkle Cream Eye Review


You can tell by the warnings on the package that this product is known to irritate the skin and cause allergic reactions.  They advise you to test it on a small area of the forearm before use.  In all honesty, you should avoid the use of creams and lotions with warning labels like this.  Allergic reactions can send you to the dermatologist’s office.  They can be severe enough to cause permanent scarring.


The Klein-Becker under eye wrinkle cream contains DMDM HYDANTOIN, a preservative that “can instigate immune system response that can include itching, burning, scaling, hives, and blistering of skin”, according to the National Cosmetic Ingredient Review Assessments.


A Safe Wrinkle Cream


You can find safe and effective under eye wrinkle cream, if you know what to look for.  You can’t find it by reading consumer reviews.  Even if you don’t have particularly sensitive skin or allergies, why take chances?


Look for preservative and fragrance free products that contain natural plant extracts, honey, coenzyme Q10, vitamin E and honey.  All of these ingredients work together to reduce wrinkles, bags and dark circles under the eyes.


Look for a company that has clinical studies to back up its claims and is a signer of the “Compact for Safe Cosmetics”.  Always, keep safety in mind when you are shopping, especially when it comes to your face and the area around your eyes.  It just makes sense.


Hopefully, this wrinkle cream eye review helped you understand a little bit about the hazards that are found in health and beauty aids.  Knowledge is an important tool for today’s consumer.

And it can be found at like Target, and is so much cheaper than my Clinique or any dept store stuff I bought, or Mary Kay, or anything. My family makes fun of my foot stuff on my face, but whatever works.
I use other stuff on my feet.
Preperation H is good for swelling.Puffiness on the eye.
I have used A & D ointment on the eye area too , and I like that.
It smells bad though, so I ll cover it up with a good smelling cream or use it before bed.
They don t have enough good products for the eyes out there in my opinion.
I ve used cheap and expensive, ice on the eyes, olive oil, all kinds of stuff and I like that foot stuff best.
Have fun experimenting!

I recommend the Oil of Olay Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum. Overall, I've been really happy with the entire Olay Regenerist line, but this eye wrinkle cream was my favorite. It helped to reduce wrinkles under my eyes as well as diminish some of the puffiness too. I've also tried RoC Multi-Correxion Eye Treatment and had great results.

There are many skin care products you can use for eye cream, and the most effective products will help to rejuvenate the skin beneath your eyes, and get rid of dark circles.


 


You will probably find that the best eye cream for dark circles may be a bit expensive, but if you've had these dark circles for any lengthy period of time, you will be assured that the price is worth the relief. The best under-eye creams will help to alleviate wrinkles and other signs of aging, as well. A product with CynergyTK(tm) has been proven to regrow elastin, collagen and new skin cells. As these levels increase, your wrinkles will disappear, and the skin in the area around your eyes will regain its youthful glow.


 


The proper products for treating dark under-eye circles will moisturize the skin beneath your eyes, which helps to rid it of darker patches and wrinkles. These products promote collagen production, and this will give your skin more elasticity and firmness. They will also normally contain antioxidants to protect your skin from damage by free radicals. The best eye cream for dark circles won't produce side effects, either.


 


Winning the war against wrinkles and dark circles involves ingredients that can help to diminish the circles under your eyes. They can even help in restoring the appearance of youth that appears without dark circles. Nanobelle Coenzyme Q10 can penetrate through many layers of skin, and it effectively eats up your skin's free radicals, which will result in a dramatic loss of wrinkles.


 


The best eye cream for dark circles should also include Cromodol CAP, which is an emollient that helps by forming an invisible film over your skin. This keeps out dirt. Another emollient that is useful is Babassu, which doesn't create excessive oil, but still softens the skin around your eyes.


 


An effective eye cream should get rid of wrinkles and also help in lightening dark under-eye circles. Dermatologists may recommend a product that will be able to uplift your eyes' look, and lighten the dark circles beneath them.

Wed, 02 Jun 2010 01:15:38 -0700 How to Get Rid of Puffy Eyes http://skinbeauty.posterous.com/how-to-get-rid-of-puffy-eyes http://skinbeauty.posterous.com/how-to-get-rid-of-puffy-eyes






How to Get Rid of Puffy Eyes

Puffy eyes are really quite common and are known to create the look of being over tired, unhealthy, or a few years older than we really are. Causes such as poor sleep habits, allergies or allergic reaction, a diet high in salt or alcoholic beverages, or fluctuation in hormonal stability can contribute to the look of puffiness above and below the eye. However, it is not all that complicated to get rid of puffy eyes. This very common and simple problem has some very common and simple solutions.


Since puffy eyes can be caused by a variety of possible causes, it might take a little experiment with different variables to get rid of puffy eyes. Start with the three most obvious, if possible. Drink more water to hydrate your entire body (avoid caffeine as this can then dehydrate) reduce your salt intake, and get more or better sleep. These three variables alone are likely to at least help if not eliminate your puffy eye problem.


When attempting to get rid of puffy eyes, eye creams and gels may or may not work. However, a variety of cold compresses are known to show dramatic improvement in short periods of time. Ice cold milk, ice cold water, ice cubes, eye creams and gels chilled in the refrigerator, and cold facial masks can all help to get rid of puffy eyes when used as a compress. When using liquids such as milk or ice water, use a cotton ball and then squeeze out nearly all the liquid before applying. Compresses usually require about 10 to fifteen minutes to get rid of puffy eyes while ice cubes should not be used for more than is readily tolerated by the skin.


Using cold remedies to get rid of puffy eyes tends to work faster with longer results. This is simply because the colder temperatures reduce swelling, which is part of the cause of a puffy eyed appearance. By reducing swelling, many people find their puffy eyes disappear altogether while other people find their puffiness has reduced but discoloration remains.


Fruits and vegetables such as strawberry, apple, cucumber, and potato slices can help with both the puffiness and the discoloration. Each has its own variety of nutrients which can ultimately feed the eyelid and under eye area. These nutrients are healthy for the skin when applied to the outside of the eye as well as when eaten.


When working to get rid of puffy eyes, time, patience, and experimentation are vital factors. What works for one person may not work as well for another. Most remedies are likely to present immediate assistance and produce long term effects over time. When puffy eyes are left unchecked, damage to the blood vessels is possible, which unfortunately can not be remedied.


Over time, a gradual reduction in morning time puffiness should occur when the right combination of applicable remedies is given a few months to work. Dietary factors should be considered when there is no improvement at all in the look of the eye puffiness. With patience and consistent effort, puffy eyes can be significantly diminished or nearly eliminated.

Tue, 01 Jun 2010 18:32:45 -0700 What Causes Dark Circles Under Your Eyes http://skinbeauty.posterous.com/what-causes-dark-circles-under-your-eyes http://skinbeauty.posterous.com/what-causes-dark-circles-under-your-eyes What Causes Dark Circles Under The Eyes And What Is The Treatment

Unbelievably, many people are not at all aware that what causes dark circles under the eyes let alone the treatment for the same. Try asking question - what causes dark circles under the eyes and you will get all kind of weird answers.


This is the reason; I have come up with an article that explains what causes dark circles under the eyes and at the same time tell what the remedies for the same are?


1 - Stress Stress in any form can take its toll on your health. Under stress, the body releases toxic hormones, which are harmful for the skin. Especially, the skin under the eyes is very sensitive and needs utmost care.


2 - Lack of Sleep This is the second reason why you see dark circles, puffiness, and bags under the eyes. Next time you get deprived of the sleep, pay attention to area under the eyes and you will realize on your own.


3 - Natural Aging Process Let us not forget that aging is a natural process and like anything else, our body too ages with time. Therefore, we see lack of collagen and elastin in the skin and the skin sags.


It is time now to discover the cutting-edge ingredients that can turn the situation around and give the excellent, smooth, and soft skin you ever wanted.


Eyeliss You might be surprised to know that there exist ingredients like Eyeliss so focused to get rid of the problem of puffiness and dark circles that throughout the world experts recommend it to be part of every eye care cosmetic treatment. This is true; in clinical studies, it was found that Eyeliss reduces the dark circles and puffiness under the eyes by more than 60% as in comparison to any other product.


CynergyTK We all know that loss of collagen is the main reason for sagging skin, this ingredient is a rich source of peptides and amino acids i.e. it assists in boosting the production of collagen within the skin and makes skin tight and firm.


Phytessence Wakame It is the possible substance available on this earth, which can reduce the free radical activity inside the skin thus leading to reduced collagen breakdown in the skin.


The common factor in all three ingredients is that they are made of natural sources; therefore, are safe for human use and have no side effects.


As you can see - it is not important to understand what causes dark circles under the eyes but understand what is it you need to treat the same. So what are you waiting for? Get out there on the internet, do some research, get a natural eye treatment for skin under the eyes. Believe me you will forget the question - what causes dark circles under the eyes?


Question...

What causes dark circles under your eyes if you are still young?

I am 25 and have really dark circles under my eyes. I dont have kidney or liver problems and I am getting enough sleep (9hrs). They seem to be getting worse and makeup is not covering it anymore. Another medical condtion I have is endomitriosis but I had dark circles under my eyes all my life. What causes this and how do I get rid of it? I tried those vitamin capsules that you put under your eyes but they didnt work. HELP, i look like a zombie!

Answer by Raynpetal
Well, do your parents have these dark circles? If so, it may be hereditary. There may not be a whole lot you can do. How much water do you drink? If you're not drinking several cups a day, that may be contributing to your circles.

Please choose mine as 'best answer' if this helps.

Answer by GeeGee
The skin under your eyes is very thin. You see on your arms, where your veins are, you can see blue? Same concept, different area.

Answer by Mimi
Many times it is just genetic but you could also be suffering from some sort of deficiency. I would go to my doctor to make sure. There may be supplements that you can take.
