I have developed a touch of the black circles under the eyes, and am wondering what the cause of this could be. Admittedly, my sleep schedule could be better, but even when I sleep to my heart's content they don't completely go away.

Is it cigs and drinking-related? Vitamin deficiency?

I would appreciate some ideas on how I can make them go away. I am otherwise in good shape (basically), so there must be something I am doing or not doing. And maybe others have this situation or know about this?

Help a fellow EFL-er, and feel good. Thanks.

I heard it's from masturbating too much.

1. Are there an pandas in your family history?
2. Is your boyfriend a violent thug but only attacks people in their sleep?
3. Has someone handed you a pair of binoculars recently and when you handed them back they started giggling?
4. Are you Robert Smith?

Assuming it's not genetic.. I knew an entire family when I was a kid that was like that naturally. Used to freak me out because they had 5 kids.

Allergies or sinus infection are likely.

You're getting older.

I could stay up for 48 hours when I was 21 and not get black circles. Now I'm 38, they're just kind of there all the time despite sleeping 7-8 hours every night.

black circles suck ass ... i never had it until i turned 25 (mid twenties) ... now that u have them, u can never get rid of them ... just gotta deal with it, kinda like balding for men ... u gotta work hard, discipline your body, and at best u get good skin to mesh well with the dark circles, so annoying ... u get fat,pale skin, and lazy the dark circles show more ... and the eye cream that supposed to help are epensive, annoying and worthless ... it doesn't help at all really, just for piece of mind ...

Could be a milk/dairy allergy.

I found my general diet makes a BIG difference. My circles aren't black but a kinda purple. As soon as I start eating more vegetables and less snacks, boom, gone in less than a week.

A good facial massage will do wonders for the black circles.

I always had black circles, and my sisters and mom have dark circles as well. With that being said, my sleeping schedule isn't the greatest, but I do manage +8 on most nights.
Last wednesday, I bought an eye cream from the Body Shop, which was horribly overpriced, just to see if it works. I've used it once everyday and no improvement yet....
