Life Doesn't End With 50!

According to E.L.F. Cosmetics, there's six different ways you can eliminate dark circles:

1. Get a good NIGHTS sleep! Don't feel guilty about it EITHER!
2. The old "Cucumber" on the eye will do. Cucumbers have a naturally cooling affect. If you've ever eaten cucumber, you'll notice the cool taste, and feel.
3. ALWAYS, and I can't stress this enough, ALWAYS use sunscreen every day, and moisturizer at night.... especially a good under eye cream!!!!
4. Drink plenty of H20 - WATER! Nothing better than that good stuff to hydrate the skin!
5. Apply cold compresses (cotton balls soaked in milk, cold eye packs, tea bags, cold compresses... NOT ICE).
6. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables: Iron deficiency can also cause dark circles around the eyes. If you think you may be iron deficient, please check with your doctor. There could be an underlying cause.

As always, before taking supplements, check with your doctor. This list has been modified from the E.L.F. Website!

My problem with dark circles isn't one of vitamin, or sleep deprivation, it's because I can't keep my shadow on my lid while applying it. I found this cool site that will hook you up with some "shadow shields". The shields prevent shadow from falling to your lower lid, so you don't have an eye shadow...shadow and an appearance of darkness, and smudges under the eye.! Check it out:  Shadow Shields

Either way, having undereye darkness makes you look tired, and over worked.  Look your best by doing all you can to prevent them.  For more tools and cosmetic tricks, visit my affiliate e.l.f. cosmetics site!  They provide free tips, videos and suggestions for current trends.
