dark circles

So does anyone out there have any advice on how to get rid of dark circles under the eyes? I can't seem to sleep & I cry half the night, so I am starting to look pretty bad.

Thanks

Doctor told me that crying wearing out tear ducts. I need stronger glasses, eye drops. I use green tea bags, for me they work better. As for dark circles try use any eye cream with vitamin K.

Well the solution is to get more sleep :) I had a friend who had a lot of trouble sleeping thru the night and she only got better when the stress was removed - yeah, not a good way to do that.

I had trouble getting more than four or five hours of sleep the first few months. Exercise did not help at first, but eventually it did and now I'm up to about 6.5 hours each night.

But really short term there is not a good suggestion outside of some magic lotions to put on the affected area. Some do help ( my wife used something like philosophy).

I've heard cucumber can help but haven't tried it. My approach is to try and be well groomed and well turned out and just say I haven't been sleeping well if anyone comments. When I get exhausted enough I sleep through. Maybe makeup?
