Re: dark circles
Thu, August 7, 2008 - 8:10 PMI'd love to hear a good treatment if anyone has one - other than "more sleep" which is what many people say, though it doesn't work at all.
I use a yellow colour-corrector for under foundation, which works better than a heavy skin-toned type of concealer to reduce the visual effect. And I'm happy to notice an improvement - I don't expect miracles. -

Mon, August 11, 2008 - 10:22 AMClarins makes a nice eye cream called Eye Revive Beauty Flash. (the whole line is herbal based) I find it really helps with dark circles and puffiness. Also dab a blue or mauve toned corrective concealer over the dark area, then apply a yellow or olive flesh toned concealer or foundation over it. I know MakeUp Forever makes one called Mauve #18. -

Mon, August 11, 2008 - 10:04 PMYou know how they tell you to dot your makeup concealer moisturizer etc with the ring finger? that tapping is actually lymphatic drainage...the color you are seeing is blood pooling in that area...so doing that light tapping will help.
I also heard abou this product on XM radio and ordered...it seems to actually help. I have noticed a real change...but it is one of those things you order one and they want to send it to you every month...so careful how you order...you won't use as much as they send you...unless you slather like crazy!!!
It is called Hydrolyze

Tue, August 12, 2008 - 7:10 AMOooh...that would be called 'tapotement' (if I'm remembering how to spell it). It's a massage technique that's used all over the body but feels especially good on the face...and yes, it does help with circulation...you can do it all over your face, kind of in a method like drumming your fingers...but a little faster
I've got a bit of the same problem...I'm not real dark, but I do have an olive complexion and I've always had a bit of darkness under my eyes...plus my general bone structure doesn't seem to help...I've always found that keeping hydrated helps...and I do use tea bags, too...sooooo many wonderful uses for tea...it cures about anything...:-D
Oh, well...I can't complain overly much...I think I'm doing pretty good to be almost 42 yrs old...
