Undereye circles have pleged me for years, since I remember. According to my cosmetic surgeon (yes I have even consulted one for this), its a cause of thin skin under the eyes which allow the blood vessels to show through. He recommended using AHAVA, Mineral Eye Cream to draw out some of the mosture from the skin in order to shrink and minimize the blood vessels. Just started it, so I don't know if it works, it typically takes 6-8 weeks to see any difference. I also use Keromask Masking Cream as a concealer. Oldly enough, whenever I'm on vacation on the beach, my undereye circles disappear... I think its being in the sun and drying out my skinn that works (I don't tan).

 

Good Luck, I know its a huge pain in the A#$.

That's really interesting Monika, I'll have to give this a try. I get dark circles all the time - it use to get so bad that occassionally people would ask me "what happened" as if I had a black eye! That didn't happen often, but it's definately worse some days and fine others.

I noticed that the sun makes a difference too... and I'm like you, when I go on vacation, I come back just as white as when I left.

Keep us posted in the next 6-8 weeks and let us know how that worked for you! :)

No I don't smoke. My Dr. said its just a genetics thing. He said its fairly common in very faired skinned people. I know it sounds extremely gross but, you can literally see all the veins running in my arm. I wish there was a procedure or laser that could just zap it away. But no.

My mom has them and I do too, so I can see the genetics answer is true.

 

I heard if you put a cold face mask on it helps shrink them as well as cucumber slices. i ahven't tried them but I'm tempted to the day before the wedding.

Ohhhh.. great idea I'll have to try that one! I'm determined at least one day a week to do something nice for myself so maybe this week I'll have to do a mini beauty season and try this. I'll let you know how it goes.

I have really dark circles all the time, too. If I don't wear make-up, people are constantly asking me if I am feeling ok or telling me I look tired! I just never leave the house without concealer and I find it does the trick. I use a MAC concealer now that I really like. The key is to get dark enough coverage, without something so cakey that it cracks and makes lines under your eyes. Most liquid concealers I've tried from the drug store are too transparent and don't give enough coverage. I find the solid sticks are too cakey. But, the MAC (it's a liquid in a tube) does the trick for me.

i have actually tried the MAC concealer and now that I have run out and am using some drug store stuff, I am noticing the difference. The MAC really did cover better. I will have to get some more this weekend. cheer2.gif

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
