If you're getting dark circles because of lack of sleep, you should sleep more, and when you get up wash your face with cold water. This works most of the time.

Um well I dont know about a scientific explanation for why you get them or how to get rid of them, but make sure you're getting enough sleep and drink plenty of water!  There are some eye creams you can use that disguise the black circles.  Also, try cutting back on caffeine for a while too and see if that helps!

Do you often hear the question "Feeling tired?" Are there shadows on your face - when you're not out in the sun? Do you look like you've been hit by a baseball?\n\nAlthough undereye circles are annoying, they're not the worst things you can get. In fact, nine out of 10 people have darkness around their eyes at one time or another.\n\nWhat causes them?\nMany factors contribute to undereye cycles. Sometimes the darkness around your eyes is partially hereditary, so if you're parents have them, chances are you will too. But there are culprits that can make the situation much worse - such as smoking, sleep deprivation, poor nutrition and drinking coffee, soda or other caffeine-containing beverages. \n\nAllergies, overexposure to the sun, menstruation or pregnancy can also aggravate them. \n\nNow if your undereye circles have a bluish tint, then what you're seeing isn't really darkened skin but engorged blood vessels. Because the skin under your eyes is thinner than the skin anywhere else on your body, blood vessels there are more noticeable - especially if you're fair-skinned.\n\nAnyway, once you've got 'em, how can you hide 'em? Fortunately there are many things you can do to alleviate and conceal undereye circles.\n\nStep 1: Diminish the problem\nFirst, use an undereye cream that contains both antioxidant vitamins (like vitamin C) and light-diffusing particles that can help draw attention away from dark circles. The key is to use this type of product morning and night. \n\nVichy Laboratoires offers some good options. Their Thermal S Yeux is great for diminishing signs of fatigue, puffiness and dehydration lines. You could also try Dermalogica's Total Eye Care, which reduces puffiness and disguises dark shadows.\n\nStep 2: Conceal, conceal, conceal\nThere is no way around it - the fastest cure for dark circles is to use concealer. Apply it around your entire eye area using your fingers (that way it will be easier to blend). You'll want to choose a concealer that matches your skin tone exactly. The most common mistake people make when applying concealer is that they select a colour that is too light, thinking it will work better. But if the concealer is too light, then you'll get the 'reverse racoon' effect. \n\nPrescriptives makes a good concealer, called Camouflage Cream, and the beauty experts at their counters are trained to help you find the perfect match. Otherwise, try Yves Saint Laurent's legendary Touch Eclat - the new best friend of everyone in the beauty industry.\n\nSet the concealer with a light dusting of powder so that it stays put. If you feel that the powder is going on to cakey or thick, then buff it by tapping over the eye area with a makeup sponge or a cotton ball. This removes excess product and blends what's left behind. \n\nStep 3: Distract attention\nA cream shimmer or white shimmer pencil, applied on the inner corner of your eyes (which tends to be the darkest area of the undereye circles) will also help diminish their appearance. Check out The Body Shop's Eye Definer or Clinique's Quickliner for Eyes. \n\nAnd always avoid lining or applying mascara to your lower lashline, because that will only draw attention to the area and make it look much darker.\n\nA final trick\nOne short-term cure used by models is to apply cool cucumber slices or tea bags to the undereye area. This will help reduce swelling - on days when you've get out of bed after a late night of partying and find a shocking surprise when you look in the mirror.\n\nBy Renee LiButti\n(c) iVenus Limited.

Take a flannel - and ordinary face cloth - close your eyes and gently clean your eyes with it. You can use a tiny drop of baby shampoo if you have any. I once had a condition called blephoritis (a kind of excema around the eyelashes), and this is what the hospital doc told me to do.\n\nI think you'll find it works very well. Good luck! x

For tired or puffed eyes, place a cotton pad soaked in chilled rose water. Keeping thin slices of cucumber ready in the refrigerator beforehand is ideal. \n\nGrated cucumber, by itself or mixed with carrot juice, can be spread under the eye, to reduce black circles and sagging skin.

Before going to bed at night, wash your face with an all natural soap.  You can pick up a glycerin bar at any health food store for like $2 or less.  Make sure you use a clean face cloth.  When you dry your face, just dab it with a clean towel, don't wipe your face with it.  Then just apply a little bit of rubbing alcohol to each blemish.  Do this for at least a week and I guarantee you'll see results.

1. You need to cleanse and lightly moisturise your face\n2. Apply foundation to the areas that need some coverage. Dot the foundation on with your fingers and blend it downwards, not up into your pores.\n3. Apply foundation to your eyelids, just a little.\n4. Dust some face powder on.\n5. Apply your eyeshadow in strokes from the inner eye to the edge. Try a medium colour on the eyelid and a dark colour finely and closely near your lashline.\n6. Apply 2 coats of mascara, its a good idea to wipe the brush with a tissue first.\n7. Apply a small amount of blush to the apples of your cheeks, the easiest way is to smile and apply to where your cheeks sort of 'puff up'\n8. Apply a hint of lip gloss or lipstick and you are ready to go.\nHope this helps!\nYou can get help from places that sell make-up like a pharmacy or department store.

dark circles under the eyes are usually cause by blood clots... there's creams that you can buy at the pharmacy or you can consult a dermatologist....if the lines just appear it could be due to the lack of moisturizer.. or maybe if you spend to much time in the sun and dont' apply sunblock...good luck chrys

there are some over the counter products that help, also taking a multi vitamin,, as dark circles can be due to many things, including lack of certain vitamins,, allergies, make sure when taking off/putting on eye makeup you are gentle, as the sking is fragile in that area, tea bags wet then placed on the under eye area are suppose to help, so are cucumbers, but i didnt notice a difference when i used them

I am into natural skin care and the only thing I can think of that is in your HOME would be lemon juice.Lemon juice works great to naturally bleach out skin so it should reduce the apearrance of those spots Use juice on a cotton ball or Q-tip to rub into spots before bedtime with a clean washed face-no lotions-and let it stay on all night. Do your regular facial routine in the morning.  If irritation begins, discontinue.

try jergens, or another lotion that darkenss the skin. these look totally natural cause they darken your skin tone, not paint something on it. also, if you need to tan quickly, try natural airbrush enhancement (not airbrush tanning)

Dark circles are caused by blood vessels showing though the thin skin around your eyes. Most of us can't prevent them, but you may be able to make them less noticeable by not rubbing your eyes and staying well hydrated. At least that works for me.

try applying curd on your face and leave it to dry.. rinse it with water after 15 minutes.. this should keep ur skin glowing and take off the unwanted chemicals.. moreover, u need to drink plenty of water to avoid the oily excretions from ur skin.. avoid all the cosmetic creams since they only add to the problem.. let me know if this works..
