All things serve the Beam
My sister has dark circles under her eyes, so does my mom and my grandma. I, fortunately, was spared.
My sister asked her doctor what she could do, and he told her it was a hereditary condition and nothing would help.
Sorry, I'm sure that wasn't what you wanted to hear ... but my sister was actually kind of relieved to know there was nothing out there to buy for it, so she could quit wasting her money.

I don't get dark circles unless I'm very sick, but doesn't makeup cover
them?

I never knew allergies could cause dark circles under the eyes until a few years ago when my allergist wanted to retest my allergies so I had to stop all my antihistamines for 24 hours. "Good gracious," said Dr. Ann, "she looks like she's got two black eyes, poor thing, Justi, look what we've done to her!" I hadn't even seen a mirror or payed enough attention to notice. But Kimmie, I guess we pale white girls just show them up better, too. Good luck on finding something to cover them up, I would never dare, as I am horribly allergic to almost all make-up - yes, even Clinique!

Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions. I do wear concealer and makeup, but late in the evening, I'm constantly told how tired I look.
During the day the circles are either non-existant or not too bad, unless I'm extremely exhausted. I've been getting 7-8 hours of sleep, but my guess is that it's not a restfull sleep. (We're getting a new mattress for Christmas)
I'm pretty sure that my situation is less heriditary and more fatigue based.
Of course now I have red circles under my eyes.

Water. Drink more water! It has really helped me - and lately, good nutrition has helped even more.
More water will help clean out - detox - your system, and lessen the dark stuff.

I drink mostly water. Juice in the morning or during lunch. I carry my water bottle everywhere. Haven't had a soda or coffee in months.
That alone has definitely improved my complexion overall. Just not the dark circles late in the evening.

I hate to sound like your mom, but have you seen a DR lately? You might
be anemic.
