Hello I have really dark circles under my eyes most of the time which makes me look like I've had a mega night out on the town so I've bought myself a "wake up tired eyes" eye stick and so far so good :)

Hi some of them work well. A home remedy is Almond Oil applied once or twice a day. Gently rub almond oil in a circular direction, anti clockwise towards the inner eye ( but be careful you don't get oil in the eye) and gradually the darkness with get lighter. It's a build up of toxins and by 'pushing gently' towards the tear duct you are pushing the nasty toxins out:) I haven't done this for a few years now, but it will now go on my shopping list.

Ah cool, never heard of using almond oil but I'll be sure to give it a try. Normally they're really dark if my BG is high but I'm fed up with looking like I've crawled out of a brewery so this will no doubt be attempt 1 of many :D

Dictators who positively go out of their way to force misery, tears and fears, upon their countryman's lives.
Politicians who, in dealing with dictators, have a wishbone where a backbone should be.

Remember not to wipe your eyes in a forgetful moment after you apply it, Seriously_Sax1989. :wideyed: :playful:

Me better half thanks you for that tip RR. :)

Ageing!!!!!!! :O :O oh god I'm 25 today :p
why are you bothering? your life is finished :)
if you do get a bit in your eye, it will be blurry from the oil film for a while, but wont harm it at all. The treatment is new to me. 10 points to Robin

You're 25 today, congratulations and many happy returns,:D. I am older than you by a few years ( not saying how many though) lol, but always look after your skin :) Please remember any application around the eye area should always be done with great care ( it's a tiny amount of oil and not a teaspoonful !!) and definitely not after a long heavy night out !. Have a great day...

Liars, thieves, users, cruelty, doing the washing up. Lol
:rolleyes:
Lying used tea bags over your eyes, use either Luke warm or cold.
And Cucumber is great, not only for eyes but for your whole face.

Cucumber is cooling and healing. **** now I will have to get my old text books out and see what else there is.

:rolleyes: Ok don't want you messing with essential oils near your eyes. But Camomile tea bags may work better than traditional tea.
Or cotton pads with Witch Hazel. Any Idea what's in your tired eye stick??
