My Tips for Dark Circles and How to Improve your Appearance

I wanted to share my tips for dark circles under eyes which will help make you look better. I have a horrible problem with big dark under eye bags and have found a few different strategies which work to make them look much better.

The first remedy of course is applying ice to reduce the swelling once or twice a day. Next, I use a combination of Vitamin K cream and Arnica Montana which is a natural product to reduce bruising. (You can find this in natural food stores or in a holistic market). I use one in the morning and the other at night. I also use Preparation H a few times throughout the day to help reduce the swelling.

Another strategy that I have found helpful is to use the Baby Quasar photorejuvenation system. It is a LED light that uses infra red and blue spectrum similar to IPL treatments. The Baby Quasar is a home version of a professional laser.

Once I learned that IPL therapy works well to eliminate the darkness, (which is actually blood that collects when little capillaries break), I discovered that there are a few different home lasers. The Baby Quasar uses the LED light therapy which is particularly effective for treating dark circles, (among other skin issues).

I had read on another skin care forum that some people actually use the LED light laser pens instead and have found those to work over time as well. I never tried them because I thought that a more professional laser designed for facial rejuvenation made much more sense than pointing a laser light pen under my eyes.

The final remedy is using concealer to hide whatever traces remain. It has certainly been years in experimenting with a variety of different strategies but this particular combination works the best for me.

I do wish I could make them go away forever but I haven't found anything that is a 100% cure as yet. . .
