Hi

I have an annoying problem with under my eyes.  Most people have dark circles under there eyes, but mine are more pale.  They are slightly blue/grey in color and seem to shine in certain lights.  Camera flash is bad.  I also suffer from puffiness in the morning.  Is there any products i could use to help this or would i have to wear a conceler.

hope someone can help

thanks

Ste.

hello sdmolyne,

For puffy eyes, I think Clinique All About Eyes would be a good product.. many have give this product thumbs up....  

For dark circles, do you know your causes of dark circles? for temp. solution, try YSL concealer..

I hope it helps..

I think my cause is just natural pigmention of the skin around my eyes.  Its been the same for a number of years now.  The pufiness is worse now and that makes the shinyness worse in the mornings.  

Theres so many creams to shose from.  Im a man, should i get a mans eye creame or does it not mater.?

thanks for the advice .

My doctor told me once that as we get older, we tend to be more susceptible to edema, fluid build up that usually occurs in the extremities but may occur in the face after lying down for awhile (that's why our eyes tend to be puffier in the morning). If the swelling is painful, a light diuretic can take the fluid off the body, though it means you have to pee every few minutes. Otherwise, the best thing to do is keep the affected part elevated. As we get up and go about our day, the fluid build up on our face drains away, easing the puffiness.
