Dark circles under my eyes- how do I get rid of them?

I've had them most of my life- since I was about 8 or 9 years old, I think. Even when I get plenty of sleep, I still have them. Coupled with my pale complexion, they make me look like a zombie. Even covering them up with makep doesnt help much

My brother thinks I should sleep with cucumber slices on my eyes like he's seen in movies. >_> Any other, better suggestions?

    There are many causes of dark circles, some like lack of sleep, thin skin, allergies, lack of water or iron, or (the worse) genetics. Luckily there are many home remedies that might work for you.

    Some easy ones I found:

    - Cooled, used teabags under eyes

    - Sunscreen

    - Rest

    - Cool Cucumber slices

    - Vitamin C

    Hope they help! I also found some websites for you :)

    Cucumber slices on eyes help, you can also try this. Massage the area with pure almond oil before going to bed. Check out http://useinfo-darkcircles.blogspot.com/ for more info.

    sleep, water, veggies. its all about diet. vitamin D and E are the best things for skin - and tea bags (warm) help with puffy eyes. concealer and white (not shiny) eyeshadow with makeup during the day.

    cold cream at night and wear one of those mask thingys to keep it cream from smudging all over your pillow. i read that the cucumber thing actually works but no experience with that one....
