    I've got dark circles....=(.. I wanna get rid of them instead of putting make up and cover em...

    I know its because Im not getting enough sleep (TRYING to change that) but i do drink a lot of water....

    So, anyone knows how to get rid of em?

    Steamed tea bag + cold metal spoon work best for me. Though I generally skip the tea bags and go straight to my dear spoons.

    Keep a pair in the fridge overnight and cover your eyes for about 30 sec before you do anything in the morning (most effective if you don't wash your face beforehand)

    @Hiake wow cold metal spoons. never heard of that b4... Shall try it since it sounds pretty simple :)
    As for me, I usually put used and chilled tea bags over my eyes for abt 5 mins or so.

    It's particularly useful when you got puffy eyes... the two things kind of go hand in hand puffiness and dark (to me at least) =_=b so yeah, after lack of sleep?

    sorry, i don't know how to solve your problem but i do have a quirky fact about sleeping: your REM process (some sort of healing/memory process your brain goes through while sleeping) is complete every 1.5 hours so when you sleep (to make the most of your time), sleep in 1.5 hour cycles. like 3, 4.5 or 6, etc hours. b/c if you sleep for 5 hours, your REM process got cut short and that extra half an hour of sleep will have been for nothing.

    so not true...

    REM is rapid eye movement
    its one stage of sleep - deep sleep
    dreams only occur in REM stage, but if ur in REM, doesnt' mean ur dreaming
    REM ranges anywhere between 10/15mins to hrs, the more u get, the more "actual" rest u got for the nite
    and u don't always get into REM stage
    as long as u get into stages 3/4 and/or REM, its considered a good sleep

    as for body, its been said that body cycles in 4 hours
    so its better to have a 4 hr sleep/nap as opposed to 6 hours

    but back to the topic...
    go to facials =D
    too bad theres no student specials no more here

    Im sure there are some cream that can be applied around your eyes. I know there are some Loreal products for men which reduces the fine lines as well as the dark circles. Maybe u could use them? Cause im sure the cream is not sexist!! :p
