I was not worried about them much that time. Couple decades years older, I would like to get rid of them. I have been searching around, and I decided to but Avon product

I have been using it for couple of weeks, I can't say it's a miracle, but it helps a bit.
Do you have any other product you like
Thank you <img src="/images/graemlins/king.gif" alt="" />

I used to use some Avon product afew year back, and a multitude of others but I have now found a product line that truly works for me called Arbonne. I love the fact that my husband was the first to notice the difference with change to the dark circles under my eyes cause usually some men don't ever notice a change. By the way, I really liked your site.

How do these creams work to remove dark cicles? do they bleach the skin?

What works for the dark circles and puffiness is the combination of ingredients used: Bio-Hydria which is a blend of seven plant nutrients that soften and condition skin, Vitamin C (a biologically-active form helps support collagen, elastin and helps strenghten the elasticitiy of the skin. Kojic Acid which is a natural skin lightening agent that reduces the the appearance of long-term sun and environmental damage, Copper because it visibly smoothes, softens, and firms skin, Alph & Beta Hydroxy Acids that activate healthy cells, Peptides which decrease the roughness of skin and lessen the apprearance of wrinkles. Other key ingredients are Licorice and mulbery extracts, sesame oil. All these ingredients together soften the skin, and help retain much needed moisture to help reduce puffiness and wrinkles allowing the natural whitening agents to lighten the dark circles. I hope this explains it clearly. Thanks for asking.

What is the cause of dark circles? is it not that the fat reduces below the eyes and that causes this?

Dark circles under the eyes can be caused by candida overgrowth, meaning too much yeast in your gut. Doing a yeast detox will help to get rid of the dark circles if this is the cause. Candida overgrowth can be caused if you consume a diet high in sugar or use antibiotics.

Hello everyone,

An all natural remedy for getting rid of dark circles under the eyes, is to pat a small amount of honey under the eyes and leave it there for as long as you can stand it (do a test on your arm first to make sure your skin is not allergic to honey before doing this).

Also, beat an egg white with a small amount of lemon juice and pat this under the eye (or over the whole face) to lighten any dark areas or pigmentation.

Cheers!

How to know if one has candida overgrowth?

Hi JazzyLiz,
I just watched MTV today, cause my daughter had it on. There is a show on there called, Beauty Make-over. After the show I went and tried what the artist did and it worked for me.

A lady had wrinkles under her eyes, and dark circles, and crow's feet. He uses all brushes to apply all make-up. He said that it gets in all crevices to hide flaws. He examined the shade of her skin and put the lightest highliter to conceal the areas where she has problems. He put it on thick, but not too heavy and blended it with the brush till everything blended in perfectly. Her foundation was her skin color. He used a light bronze as eye shadow and black mascara, some blush, and lipstick. Wow, she is 56 years old and she looked fantastic. The make-up artist said that one wants to always apply and blend in a very light foundation, as light reflects away the flaws. She looked years younger and all the lines and black circles were covered.

Also, I am 50 years old and use natural products on my face. I have sensitive skin, so I have tried many products just to found out my face would get raw. I use ALBA Products. They are all natural and I lost all my lines under my eyes and the crows lines also. The products I use are cleansing milk, seaweed toner, and all natural cream that has a variety of herbs and vitamins. My skin has never been better. Certain products work for certain people. If you would be interested in getting it. Go to: http://www.drugstore.com

Then in the search box, put ALBA PRODUCTS

Thanks for the info.
