Ladies, I was wondering if anyone can help me.  I always look tired even when I'm not because I have bags under my eyes.  It is hereditary as my mother also has the same problem.  I've tired so many products and concealer but things works.  Help!!

I talked to my dermatologist about my bad under eye circles and she told me that 90% of the time they are caused by allergies, with the most common ones being dust, pollen and dairy.

Thanks for your help ladies.  I have been dealing with this for a long time.  I don't think that it is allergies, but I will try using the tea bags.  I will try just about anything!!  Someone sent me an anonymous message with some advice and to whoever that was, thank you very much.  I appreciate any feedback.

Drink ALOT OF water!  If you don't you will retain water ( too much salt not enough water)  If you drink lots, it should help with puffiness. Plus I always use a highlighting cream ( I've used Revelon and Mary Kay I think I like the skinlights by reevlon better) and it helps too moisturize, highlighting cream and then foundation ( only a little).

Hope this helps!

Are you talking puffiness aka bags or dark circles?

I have circles and puffs too - a lovely combo!!! I use the Occitane under eye concealer/brightener which I love. Also, there's an Oil of Olay gel which I use after the concealer which appears to help. During the day (dry office ) I put on Clinque refreshing eye gel which feels lovely...

Big events - the wet chilled tea bag thing (green tea - I've been told is very effective).
