How I Reduce the Appearance of Dark Circles

I’ve mentioned before that I have had dark circles/bags under my eyes even since I was a little girl.  It made for some cute school picks although at the time I remember detesting them!  I believe that mine are more hereditary than anything so I’m stuck with them for life.  They really don't bother me as much anymore I guess because I've always had them.  To me they are like having ears; they are a part of who I am.  Even so there are times that I would like them to not be as noticeable.   

Now that I’m an adult, I have noticed that lack of sleep and stress are my biggest contributors to them looking more predominant.  I really emphasize getting plenty of sleep and trying to find ways to reduce the stress in your life which is always easier said than done.  I still struggle with this but have found that a good book, warm bath, and even something as simple as re-organizing my home helps.  

I have splurged from time to time and have tried many dark circle remover creams, cucumbers, concealers, tinting creams and many others (still do) over the years but I do believe that the simple yet often frugal changes can make a bigger impact than you think.  Exercise, eating healthier, attitude, rest, kicking bad habits, and any small lifestyle changes can always be beneficial inside and out. 

I’d love to know what tips you may have!
