dark circles

I have very bad dark circles under my eyes or a 25 yer old female, i sleep the recommended amount but find that over sleeping tends to make them worse. I have also found that by putting an extra pillow under my head when sleeping reduces puffy eyes in the morning. mostly i think its genetic. lots of concealers tend to make it stand out more or cake it up. i find that using green or yellow as a bases colour first beore adding a light powder works better and looks more natural. Boots pharmacy do an excellent one called banana split with both green and yellow base coats. of course we all know the importance of drinking plenty of water, this is key to healthy bright eyes :) Green tea is an aquired taste but it really is the master of the detox world. if you simply cant drink it or are on a caffine free diet or if its beore bed try nettle and mint. V relaxing and cleansing. Hope this helps. Kerrie
