HEALTH

I have really dark circles under my eyes. I get plenty of sleep.

What gives?

Dreaded raccoon eyes are often attributed to fatigue and good ol’ heredity. You say you’re getting enough sleep, but is it quality rest? Are you a light sleeper? Do you go to the bathroom, like, five times a night? If that’s the problem, a change in your sleep habits is in order. Skip caffeine six hours before bedtime (even chocolate!), and establish a relaxing bedtime routine, like reading or taking a bath.

Otherwise, check out your kinfolk for under-eye action. Could be those pesky circles run in your family. But now for the good news! Under-eye darkness is way more noticeable to you than to anyone else, and it can be covered with a concealer that’s a shade lighter than your skin tone. Apply gently under the eye, blending into skin. Adios, circles!
