It's affecting the way clients perceive me, which is important... help?! About me: 27, male, teacher, wear contacts or glasses depending on mood, quirky and unchangeable schedule, and dark circles under my eyes. I would put a picture out there but am feeling too self-conscious about it right now. The rest of me is your typical white all-American with a winning personality :)<br> <br> So I need something which either A: makes dark circles goes away that works and doesn't break the bank, or B: makes them less important. A cream or serum you've used that works or A good home remedy wins many karma points - and I'm not opposed to wearing makeup. It's that important. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.116496 Wed, 11 Mar 2009 16:52:44 -0800 darkcircles resolved chrisinseoul http://ask.metafilter.com/51359/Halloween%2Dis%2Dover%2Dbut%2Dzombie%2Deyes%2Dpersist I suddenly (3 months ago) have "dark circles" under my eyes, what to do? I thought it may be fall allergies but winter has set in and no change. In August I noticed dark patches below my eyes, <i>not so much lines</i>, but darkness especially at the inward edges. I have pictures from 6 months ago where I do not have this. It's not a morning or night thing, it's basically the same all the time. <br> <br> I have no allergies that I'm aware of; my parents do not have this trait; I've read it sometimes is a part of aging, although I am 25. I tried taking claritin for a week, no change. Also, I spent a week 3 time zones across the US and no change -- I don't think it's an environment problem.<br> <br> A few things did change around 3-4 months ago: I moved to a new apartment, I stopped walking 1-2 miles everyday, I started going to the gym every other day.<br> <br> I don't think I'm dehydrated, I'm constantly going to the bathroom and getting water refills. I take a daily multivitamin. <br> <br> Any ideas? I'm also a dude, so make-up probably isn't acceptable =P tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.51359 Mon, 20 Nov 2006 12:20:58 -0800 darkcircles eyes jacobjacobs
