Ha.

Yeah, I just embrace them.

It gives you the "partied out" look that girls seem to love.

Also, you might want to try this:

Drink a cup of green tea.

When cool, throw the bag on your eyes.

It works.

I think dark circles and puffiness under the eyes is a genetic thing as well. It runs in my mums side of the family.
I`m super healthy and lean etc..... hasn`t made that much difference at all. Even though mine are not too bad - still noticeable. I guess i`ll call it - gives me character [Image: smile.gif]

So going to bed early removes this? Can anyone confirm?

It doesn't work 100% of the time but not getting to bed early enough is the most fundamental cause.

It could be a number of other reasons, but going to bed late and fighting against your body's natural urge to rest should always be your #1 suspect.

If you are getting good, consistent, early sleep (before 10pm) and you are still getting dark circles, then you know its not the sleep and its likely something else.

Its just like if your car doesn't start. First, you make sure you have gas, then you make sure you are getting power from the battery.

One by one, you eliminate the possible causes of your problem until you find the missing link that is giving you the problem.

But, there is another option! Roosh and G gave me an idea...

Take that attitude towards them.

My suggestions are probably unrealistic if not impossible. How many guys are really going to go to bed before 10pm? Not too many.

Maybe you should just "embrace" the dark circles as G suggests and rearrange your style and vibe to match your appearance?!

Tell girls that you are an artist who often stays up late working and playing.

Grow your hair out, wear darker clothes, don't shave everyday- play it up!

Maybe go borderline vampire like this guy...

They always remind me of Benicio Del Toro. They do give a certain "character" to some guys. I guess I'm lucky because I rarely get them unless I'm partying hard for a week straight. Even then, I get a few days of nice rest and they're gone.

I think darker skinned guys can pull the look off better then white guys. If I dont get enough sleep and I get circles from it I look like a zombie, but its winter and I'm half Irish so I'm pale as hell right now.

I've had dark circles under my eyes since forever. It makes no difference what I eat or how much I sleep.

In the suggestions I didn't come across something that is known to work for guys in my situation. Is there any known cosmetic surgery for this, and if so, exactly what is the procedure? Believable before and after pics?

I started using this cream for the dark circles about two weeks ago, and I can already see them diminishing.

Good stuff!!

I have had bad circles under the eyes for ever and tried all these roll on caffeine stick things which do absolutely fuck all. I say like Roosh and G its best to embrace them.

I even get asked by girls if I have been in a fight lately because my dark circles are so bad. I usually just say yeah I get in fights all the time, haters always gonna hate or something silly like this.

Haven't read all the replies so my bad if anyone said it before. Besides getting a solid 6-7 hours of sleep, I wash my face with cold water then rub a thin layer of vaseline under my eyes when I get the circles. Takes care of it in about half an hour. Only downside is if you are in a hurry you might forget to wipe it off and you get funny looks all day.

I thought I'd bump this thread

It's been three years, any new products out there which help with this?

I've had them all my life. I roll with it but I don't want it to get worse as I age

Those roll on things do nothing but they do feel nice and cold

I have bags under my eyes. Never noticed it that much because my glasses hide them, but my brother has them and it has always bothered him more. He was worried that his kids would get them, and they did.

I figure if the kids have noticeable bags under their eyes from year 1, then it's mostly genetics. Lifestyle changes or skin creams might have a marginal effect, but anybody that has them is probably always going to have them.

The one exception is plastic surgery, which I believe can really work. However, most people aren't going to go to this level of effort to solve the problem.

Gonna give this a try, thanks man!

Four years of night shifts = big time under-eye bags. I've tried super youth eye gel and it works a little bit but I don't see much difference.

Unfortunately, it's mostly anatomy. Pale skin + thin skin under eyes + pronounced vascularity in the eye socket gives you dark circles.

Your facial structure also plays a large part. The longer the distance is between your lower eyelid and the lower-orbit of your eye socket, the more pronounced the dark circles will be. Not only that, but when you smile you'll have very noticeable wrinkles in that thin skin under your eye.

As you get older the collagen in your skin breaks down and the skin becomes thinner, further exacerbating that unflattering effect. Only thing you can do, really, is avoid the sun to slow that collaged breakdown as much as possible, or do plastic surgery if it's really that important to you.

I've used almond oil lately and I do see a slight improvement from it in the morning combined with lotion....

My family got's baggy eyes too, right down to my three year old son. One of my uncles had surgery to correct it.

What's the shame in just trying a bit of concealer? You can pick up something decent at a drug store for ~10 bucks...

Preparation H reduces puffiness, but doesn't do anything to reduce the dark circles.

Only in the American version did they removed the stuff that removes the dark circles. Ordered the stuff from Canada off of eBay and it works damn well.

OMG!! Can't believe I'm seeing a thread on this! This was the BANE of my existence until I was 22. I'm of Mediterranean descent and I'll bet many of those who suffer from this are Italian/Spanish/middle-eastern. It has to do with skin pigmentation; it has NOTHING to do with sleep. If you have circles once in a while when you party, fine, it's sleep. I ALWAYS had dark circles, even when I slept 10 hours. I couldn't wear contact lenses; always wanted to wear shades. Basically, I always looked like death warmed over :/ It was ruining my life; girls didn't like it. I wore makeup to cover it up, but that made me feel embarrassed and I was always hiding my "cover stick". And of course, if I went swimming or out in the sun where I'd sweat, I'd look ridiculous. I also started tanning, so I'd be dark all over and the contrast wouldn't show. I took tanning pills that turned my palms orange. It was a NIGHTMARE!!

I went to a bunch of QUACK dermatologists who didn't know their ass from their elbow. Some said nothing could be done, others had radical bullshit remedies. One quack said "it's due to blood vessels under the skin; we could go in and scoop 'em out". Yeah, no. One guy said to use the sort of makeup burn victims used.

It was ruining my life and suicide entered my mind.

And then at 22, sick of all the clueless suburban dermatologists I'd seen, I ventured to NYC, to Dr. Lewis M. Feder. And he knew exactly what to do. He did a chemical peel. A VERY strong chemical peel - I looked like a burn victim for a week. But it burned off those layers of skin that were heavily pigmented, and underneath was MUCH less pigmented skin. Normal skin. I looked...like everyone else.

This all sounds very silly, I know. But to a young man who looked like a freak, and then became normal, it was life-changing.

Most of the dark circles people have are caused by sinus realted chronic allergies which is why it's so damn hard or impossible to get rid of them for a lot of people.

Try using a neti pot / sinus irriagtor and you may see some benefit. Ultimately we just have to deal with our shit genetics if you are still sleeping well etc and still have dark circles.

Sucks but it's why there isn't a gagillion dollar selling mircale product on the market for this.
