I guess it really depends on where you go to get this info, because many people are going to have different stories. I personally have not found an over the counter product that helps to eliminate mine, and I have researched on the web for various at-home remedies and the only one that I found to help a bit is tea bags.
Dampen a tea bag with water and place on closed eyelids. I usually let it stand like that for a good 20 minutes. Its good to place a paper towel just under where the tea bags hit the top of your upper cheeks (place it over the bridge of your nose) because depending on how wet you get the teabags, you don't want tea dripping on your face!
So yeah 20 minutes and I usually listen to a movie or CD to keep me occupied during the time. Hope that helps
Cucumber does good a lot to any part of the skin it is put on, but the process is very slow; so slow that it won't even be able to prove itself for getting the credit it deserves.
The skin under the eye is thinner than the rest. Hence blood passing through veins under it gives it a blue tinge which appears as dark under eye circles.
Also the skin under the eye is more vulnerable to sun tanning than the rest of the skin on the body elsewhere.
Rubbing or scratching the eye too tends to darken the skin under it.
Medication causing the blood vessels to dilate allow increased blood flow through the veins which shows under the eyes the most, in the form of dark under eye circles.
Lack of nutrition causes discoloration of the area under the eyes.
Lack of sleep or excessive fatigue causes skin to turn pale and as it does so, the blood under the skin below eyes shows more as a dark patch than anywhere else on the body.
The same do the pregnancy and menstruation to show the dark under eye circles more pronounced than anywhere else on he body.
Age seems to sag the skin, drooping the eyelids - both upper and lower; and generating bags over there, making dark under eye circles even more pronounced.
But there is a way that not only lifts-up the drooping eyelids, removes the excess eyelid skin along with the excess fat-tissue, removes dark under eye circles, and turns back the eyelids that have gone turned-in or turned-out; but also gets a total face-lift for you without going for an anti aging eye cream or an anti wrinkle eye cream, or any surgical procedure.
Just open your eyes FULL in their TOTAL WIDTH by putting a slight smile on your lips, and you will have got it!
And then this only is the right way you should always open your eyes in while you are awake.
If you are 'really interested' in whatever you are looking at, it automatically happens so.
umm I wouldn't know... I am EXTREMELY allregic to cucumbers. Weird, right? but i think it gets rid of wrinkles or soemthing... but Something By friend told me, because i have really bad dark circles, is get eye shadow that matches your skin tone and put it arounfd the corners of your eyes. Well, That's what she told me, I am not sure if it works or not.

They dont eliminate them but they do lessen them and reduce the puffiness and they're easier to cover up with concealer
