Dark circles

Post by lullaby » Tue Jan 17, 2012 7:34 pm

I've suffered from really dark circles under my eyes for most of my adult life however i just can't seem to get rid of them. I always thought they may be due to allergies however i don't suffer from allergies that much anymore. After my OSA diagnosis last year, i thought that may be the culprit however it's been about six months since i started therapy and they are still just as obvious. Has anyone had any success with their dark circles disappearing? If so, how long did it take?

My daughter gets dark circles when she drinks milk. That is her only symptom of the allergy.

I think for some people they are just hereditary. I'll never be rid of mine, I'm sure. Buy a good concealer.
