How to get rid of dark circles
Q: Please help me; I have dark circles around eyes.
I look like a zombie even when I’m not tired. I have resorted to make-up and I don’t like it because it’s a lot to hide. I currently use Neostrata eye cream (it used to make a difference but I don’t see that anymore). Is there laser treatment or something I can do to get rid of this, help!
A: We’re very sorry to hear about your hassles. After some research, we reply to you with two options. Firstly, look into a company called Skin Renewal, they have a treatment called Carboxytherapy. Apparently, they have very good results and it is worth at least booking a consultation for an assessment.
The other option is to up the cosmetic coverage with specific camouflage products; I’m thinking of a Benefit kit called Realness of Concealness which has a product in it called Lemonade. This is a yellow toned concealer which looks quite extreme but managed to do the most amazing job of covering all evils. Give these options a try and if you need anything more, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Dark circles is often caused by bad blood circulation around the eyes. Something to try for dark circles is when you apply your eye cream to use light tapping movements from the inside of the eye to the outside.
For puffy eyes in the morning and also dark circles. When you wake up, swing your legs off the bed, and sitting up put your elbows on your knees, then rest your face in your hands with the palms in your eye sockets. Dont push your hands into your face but let the weight of your hands do the work. Stay like this for about 20 seconds then slowly rub your hands away to the sides of the face causing the fluid to drain to the lymph nodes....
I've looked for the Benefit kit (Realness of Concealness) everywhere and tried to google it for local results with no luck. Please advise a Cape Town Stockist
Yes that a common problem - I have the same problem. I can not use any make up as my skin is very sensitive and will go red/purple. So I also read about it. Here is something that I found out. Yes I found out that my Iron is very very very low as well.

Short and sweet the first sentence said it already. "Dark rings can be a sign of an iron deficiency anaemia"
So the best is go to you're GP and get you're Iron tested on a regular basis so that a trend can be seen as if there is problem. That is what I did.
