Grrrr... dark circles!

My name is Amanda and I am a sufferer of hereditary dark circles.. lol you probably wish there were a recovery program for those pesky shadows right? If you have hereditary or just tired eye dark circles they are a annoying annoyance! I know you've tried every eyecream under the sun and homemade concoctions suggested to you by well meaning friends but don't throw in the towel yet. In the traditional cosmetic industry hereditary dark circles were seen as a condition that would never go away and you are expected to just "Deal with it". Not so in 2012, amidst the hundreds of so called miracle working eyecreams in the department store there are actually two that I've seen do miracles; 1. Hydrolyze by Hydroxatone- This amazing eyecream is one of the most potent and dermatologically advanced creams with a complex called Biophytex that uses horse chesnut amongst other organic and scientifically manipulated botanical sources to repair broken blood vessels and strengthen them so that deep dark circles are cured or lightened up significantly! Hereditary dark circles occur when weak blood vessels under the eye burst and bleed therefore creating an ugly purple or blue toned circle. Biophytex takes care of that. For all of you busy guys and girls who just don't sleep enough and create your own darkness under the eye Hydrolyze has three gentle brightners from nature; Licorice root, bearberry and pine bark extract. Sounds good to me! 2. Hylexin by Strivectin- This ones been around forever and hasn't always done a complete job. I've read up on reviews and its about a 50/50 results and is often followed with allergic reactions. I'd list off the ingredient but its all chemical and I don't wanna scare you from trying it lol! I'm still confused as to why it fixes dark circles too... hmmm. I'm all about the natural treatment so I suggest trying both but im pretty sure you will have a better experience with Hydroxatone. Now for the concealer portion: If you want to treat dark circles but still look vibrant then you must wear a concealer of some kind. All you naturalists can pooh pooh me but concealers have come a long way! 1. Erase paste by benefit- I love love this product! Its gel based and instead of giving you a pasty ivory color it is skin toned with corrective colors inside. I have always preferred true to skin colors over caspers cosmetic tones. It doesn't crease and instantly conceals even the darkest circles. Great for all ages especially you older ladies who have problems with creasing and or settling. 2. Max Factor Panstick concealer/foundation- Hands down the finest stick foundation i've ever used! It comes in rich skin tone colors and stays put all day :) At $7 a pop you can't beat 'em! 3. Makeup Forever concealer palettes- there are five colors in this palette and are all mixable. A really nice full coverage concealer that doubles as foundation. I believe they are still only $34.00 but will last you forever! I do not like the watery wand concealers that come in 4 shades! They're pastey and sheer. Don't waste you money! One more tip, do not go whiter the darker your circles are, find a shade thats closest to your real skintone. Otherwise your going to have the casper effect or ghostly racoon or whatever you can nickname it! Its not flattering so don't do it.
