Dark circles

Question:

No matter how much sleep I get I always seem to have dark circles under my eyes. I’ve heard this can be caused by dehydration but I drink quite a lot of water. What else could be causing this?

Answer:

Unfortunately, for some this is hereditary. There are a number of things you can do on a regular basis that will help to soften the darkness. Start by pressing grated cucumber wrapped in gauze over your eyes each evening before bed. Then apply an eye cream that contains vitamin K, which helps to fade dark under-eye shadows. Get hold of a great concealer that is very light in texture and has a pink tone.
