Dark Eye Sockets

Posted on Sunday October 9, 2005 in Life

I have very dark rings under my eyes. When I am extra tired, the darkness spreads to my eyelids and even to the sides of the bridge of my nose. Gross.

Googling around for a cure has given me the following tips:

• Buy a good concealer (I refuse to wear makeup for something I can fix with a change in diet or sleep patterns)

• Sleep more (I missed a lot of sleep in my youth due to partying and I havent yet caught up)

• Eat a lot of vitamin C

• Put cold teabags or cucumber slices on your eyes (just like in the movies)

• Buy an eye ointment with vitamin K which strengthen capillary walls and make the darkness less visable

The easiest option would be to regularly swallow a fistful of vitamin c tablets and make sure I get a solid 8 7.5 hours sleep a night. When you have a baby in the house though, this can prove tough.

Maybe I just need a holiday?
