Hi Ladies,

has anyone tried using potato slices to lighten dark circles and shadows under their eyes? If so does it work? I am also thinking of using the Prep H thingie too to get rid of puffiness. No I admit I haven't got a lot of sleep lately or been drinking enough water like I should. The insominia thing is really horrible and lately I have felt so bad that it is hard to stay asleep once I get there. So right now I am just looking for ways that make it look like I have gotten enough sleep. I have also heard of tea bags as being good for eye puffiness. Does anybody have any favorite remedies they would like to share?

Thanks everyone

Sherri

Sherri......I have fair skin and very dark circles that seem to be getting worse as I get older and are even more pronounced when I am tired. I haven't the time or patience to lie around with potato slices or tea bags on my eyes. The only remedy I can recommend is a good concealer!! I won't leave home without having it on. Sorry I can't be of much help, but I can really empathize! gardenbear

Hi Gardenbear,
What kind of concealer do you use? I think I have tried everyone of them on the market from the cheap drugstore brands to the cosmetic counter ones. Although I do hear that BE concealor is good.

Hi, Sherri.....I use Maybelline age rewind concealer. But I noticed they have discontinued the one I am currently using, so not sure if the newer one works as well! I guess I will try it and see when mine runs out. I hope it is as good, because I really liked this one. Actually, the foundation from the same line works quite well, too. I use it under my eyes, and then put the cream concealer on OVER it, especially in the corners where the circles are the worst. I then set it with a age defying powder. This works quite well for me, sometimes just needs a touch up later in the day.

Hi Gardenbear:

Have you tried the L'Oreal concealer under your eyes - really works !!!

What kind of L'Oreal concealer do you use? I looked it up and got a headache from so many different kinds. Didn't realize how many there were.
