Sorry one of my less "manly" posts...
I feel I've had dark circles around my eyes for almost as long as I can remember. I do have photos around 13 where i don't though. I'm pretty tired of looking tired and I've recently got wondering if it's hereditary as neither of my parents or relations have the issue.
The final straw the other morning was I woke up with a super swollen eye randomly and they were even darker all around. This subsided in a couple of days but it's got me wondering if I've just been putting up with an allergy or lack of something for all these years and not known.
I'm not sure I believe those allergy tests at health food shops and not sure if it's credible enough to go and see a doctor about as it feels pretty vain if I'm not aware of any other side effects..
Any thoughts on how I can look more beautiful ;)?
Thanks!

vaseline - smear it all over the mirror. 🙂
😀 probably the cheapest option!
Been to an opticians recently?
Get enough sleep?
Good diet?
It's pretty much impossible to say
People who look tired are often tired. Medical fact!
Are you a killer clown?
I'd be keeping your binoculars under lock and key from now on

I need a beauty coma to get rid of the bags under my eyes. Coincidence or not they've been bad since had me tonsils out 10 years ago.... yes I have at times considered surgery
Get this sometimes, I read that it can be related to being dehydrated. Or certainly keeping hydrated helps. Drink lots of water, stay off coffee/beer for a few days and see if any improvement.
Also I get puffy eyes if I oversleep - not that that happens often 🙁
Shortage of sleep or iron deficient diet? Try sleep and/or spinach. A celeb beauty therapist on Woman's Hour said a spoon of molasses every day was her cure for dark rings.
I'd be looking at lack of sleep or minor malnutrition as most likely culprits. Go see your GP though, thats what they are for.
Does it run in the family? Any of your grand parents a panda?
Sleep and nutrition and a lurking health 'issue' would be what I'd be wanting to look into.
Stress?
Too much takeaway food?
Dehydration?
Not enough outdoor sunshine/life?
IANAD
Does it run in the family?
It runs in mine and I got so tired as a young adult being asked if I'd got (a) black eye(s) that in the end I just ended up saying I did.
I've got this my niece also has it and been to doc's, It's something to do with melanin pigmentation.

Ive often seen surgeons poking folk in the eye during surgery.
Do you get punched in the face a lot?
Sure you're not dead...?
