Current Events > Yo, anyone ever successfully get rid of their racoon eyes/dark circles?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I consider myself pretty average looking, but I legit think I could look like an 8/10 if I got rid of these damn things and stopped looking like I haven't slept in 2 weeks. There's a billion home remedies out there like teabags and potato juice and turmeric and stuff, but I'm only interested in trying one that actually has the possibility of working.

Creams are expensive, though if it were one that works, I'd be interested. Anyone have any experience in this kind of foppetry?

Do you actually get enough sleep? I know mine were worst when I was only sleeping every other day.

I like to think I do. I usually get about 6-8 hours per night on work nights, and then probably 10-12 on weekends. I used to get VERY little sleep years ago though, when i was in college. They're not hereditary either, I'm the only one in our family with 'em.

Allergic shiners; take an antihistamine daily. See if they improve after a week.

Aren't you clever.

Bags and dark circles under your eyes are a result of some combination of stress, lack of sleep, or dehydration.

And genetics. I've had dark circles under my eyes since I was a child. Luckily women have complimented me frequently that they accentuate my light blue eyes. Not sure how that works but i'ts been said too many times for it not to be true.

I think mine are from dehydration. I consume a ton of booze & very little water. Chicks complain about my "stuff" being the consistency of Elmer's Glue more than the dark spots though.

try getting 8.5 hrs per day. 6 hrs is below the required amount of sleep

Dehydration is absolutely not the cause since I drink nothing but water, all day. I probably drink close to 2 gallons daily.
I've had the circles since I was in middle school though, so I don't think it's due to my sleep patterns either. I used to get something like 4 hours of sleep most nights in college, and they didn't change.
Only thing I can think of is it being hereditary, but no one else in my family has them. I do get allergies fairly often so that might be part of it.


I could actually rock the gothy dark eyes look really well if I wore guyliner everyday, since the few times I've worn it (my girlfriend thinks it's hot) the two looked great together. But I don't really want to commit to wearing it all the time :|

That is seriously such a hot look. I've done manscara a few times and I loved it. I get not wanting to commit to it because people inevitably give you that stare, but damn it's a good look.

I'm actually pretty good at not caring about stares, my problem is more I have a blue collar job, so the look wouldn't work well in my work clothes haha. Still though, maybe I'll try it out and see how it works.

Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream

I've heard good things about it from reviews and even a CEman made a topic raving about it few weeks ago.

Also, FTR, here's me wearing guyliner:



That was on Valentine's Day, for my girlfriend. I will admit, I don't dislike the way I look with it.
