/fit/, I seem to have eternal dark circles underneath my eyes. I'm done with college (as of 10 months ago) and work 9 - 5 most days. After that, I take a 2 hour or so break and then work from 7 - 12 usually while doing other stuff like watching TV or something. After that, sleep.

Do you have any ideas/methods of solving this problem? I don't think I can remove much of my work since I need to get it done. The only free times I really have to rest are over the weekend.

You do need to sleep more.

Is there any other way? Today I woke up at 1:00 and yesterday I fell asleep at 12:30 - 1, so I think that was good, but the circles still remain :(

It's going to take more than one day.

Also, when you dry your face after you shower - pat, don't rub. Rubbing just breaks more blood vessels under your eyes, and makes the circles worse.

Just get a concealer.

Dark circles aren't just from lack of sleep. There could be any number of horrible diseases causing them, or just something like allergies.

scurvy or something?/

Dark eye circles are caused by diminished blood supply to that area. That's why it gets worse when you're tired.

If you smoke, quitting will help. If not, you can try VERY, VERY GENTLY rubbing the dark areas with your fingertips.

Take 2 spoons and bet them in the fridge before you go to sleep. After you've woken up hold the convex side under your eyes for 3-5 minutes.

It can't be from lack of sleep. I have dark circles under my eyes, but none of my friends do and their sleeping habits are far worse then mine.

Clearly your individual anecdote eliminates all doubt.

Part, or all of it may be genetic. It runs in my family on the fathers side. Grandma has it, dad has it, uncles have it, distant relatives have it.

Have a family history of dark circles? Could be more than just sleep deprivation, thought that certainly does make it worse. Also, staring at a computer screen nonstop doesn't fucking help. Trust me.
