Having Dark Circles After Staying Up Late Watching CSI?

Love staying up late watching CSI? Then, it’s inevitable that you’ll get dark circles. :-)

When you are tired, your whole body, including your circulatory system, goes into slow motion. You have less blood flowing through your skin, which gives you a pasty look and while lack of shut-eye doesn’t cause dark circles, not getting the recommended eight hours of sleep a night makes dark circles appear darker simply because your skin is paler.

This is what you can do as immediate fix. Slather on a cleanser or mask that contains skin-stimulating botanicals like ginseng or spearmint.

Then, camouflage under-eye shadows by dotting a concealer at the outer corners of the lower lids. Tap gently toward the inner corner of the eye, slowly blending in the concealer.
