Advice needed.
I don't know that there is anything to be done about this. BUT....if someone knows of something, let me know, please.
I have light colored skin, but my eyelids and under eye area is very dark. With no make - up -- it's raccoon city. I know about concealer. I have some that is used for people who have to cover scars or dark birthmarks. But is there some kind of vitamin deficiency at work here or is there some procedure or action that can diminish the darkness?
Thanks in advance. 8)

I had that problem for several YEARS after my children were born!! But finally I went back to getting enuff sleep and it went away...but then the wrinkles appeared!! There are creams that have bleach in them that you can put on at night. I used it on sun damage spots on my upper lip. And they worked okay but just applying sunscreen religiously worked almost as well.
I also use something called Vitamin A moisture mask from...Boots? The Body Shop? one of those. Instead of applying it and then taking it off like a mask, I put it on my face just like a moisturizer and let it sink in, just wiping off any excess. I also apply it at night. It works really well, and gives your whole face radiance. There are also moisturizers that reflect light that make the deep-set portions of your face appear lighter.
How about applying bronzer to the rest of your face so it is a little darker? That might work better than trying to lighten the eye area.

Thank you, Lee. Those are some good ideas for me to try. My eyes DO get darker with less sleep -- I get 4-5 hours a night during the week and a lot more than that on weekends. So getting more sleep would help.
I will have to try to find some of the Vitamin A mask -- I'll look it up on Google. Never thought of the bronzer. That might work too.

4 - 5 hours/night is not very much!!

I know!! I try to catch up on weekends, but I know that's not the same as getting 7-8 hours every night on a regular basis! :P ;D
