Get rid of circles under your eyes

Circles under the eyes are not every time such cute as they can be.
This instructable will show you some few tips to get rid of circles under your eyes in a few steps.
Please understand, that there are manifold reasons for circles under the eyes. Therefore some steps will help especially you, some others not but maybe another one find them helpful.

Why there are circles?
There are generally speaking 2 sorts of circles under the eyes:
1. circles because of massive blood circulation (which can have many reasons for itself)
2. hyperpigmentation (which will not really be topic of this instructable, but there will be a short comment)

Step 1 Get some sleep.

A reason for having dark circles under your eyes (in the most cases of temporarily appearing circles) is having to little sleep.

So, to get rid of your circles - get some good and deep sleep. At least you should sleep 7/8 hours or have good night's rest. Sleep deep and in a quite and dark place. If there is no darkness, shade your eyes or windows. If there is too much noise get some earplugs or sleep in another place, see next step.

My rings are permanent or something, I've had the damn things my entire life, and tried a great deal of the suggestions here. There is another cause proposed to me: some people allergic to certain foods can get them. So maybe I have a wheat or milk allergy.

Knarx thanks for all the helpful info. 

natnie- My children's allergist referres to the dark circles under their eyes  as "alergic shiners" , I think your instincts are probably right on natnie.

And wear sunscreen, no joke. I have a friend and she becomes circles all the time, like she has been hit or something. She uses 50+ sunscreen and now they're gone. Its nothing that comes with intensive tanning, it's just the normal sun "hitting" your face while going to work, shop, or just walk around. Maybe this could be another reason for your circles.

Step 2 reminds me of Poncho not understanding why he can't sleep on the bed. :D ...do you have a huge fridge in your bedroom?

[knarx]

A fridge in my bedroom? No, why?

The cucumber mask thing as no effect on anything, it's just there to feel nice, common myth... It probably does help wake you up though...

[knarx]

But it won't hurt...

[killerjackalope]

Fair does... That and it would help you look fresh... Or sweaty eyed...
