How "NOT to look tired"

Hi, I have these “bags” under my eyes and always look as if I only slept 2 hours last night…even when I’ve had plenty of sleep.

I’m only a 21 yo guy so it’s not “printed” (that’s the most accurate word I could find to describe what I ment…hehe…it seems like my vocabulary is somewhat limited hehe). The thing is that I would like to look fresher.

I just want to get rid of the blueish/purpleish color and maybe even of the little “bump”…

Please don’t suggest surgery because I’m not really into that…

I’m trying to find a way to really “cure” it…not to just put makup over it…because I’m not into makeup either hehe…

I tried the cucumber thing once, it felt good but didn’t seem to do a lot…maybe I didn’t keep it long enough…

so, any suggestions??

oh and one more thing any suggestions on things “not to do”, in other words to is reading or working with a computer or some other activity more likely to make me look tired??
please help me!

Anybody?

I have the same problem. Funny thing is that it began shortly after I got a job in IT, so maybe it is the computers…or the pills :wink: Either way I would like to get rid of the damned things too.

Try tea bags - brew the tea, let the bags cool (you can put them in the fridge), lie down and put the cool bags on your eyes for about 10 - 15 minutes.

This treatment is most effective for lifestyle induced eye bags as opposed to “genetic” eye bags (which is what it sounds like you have, assuming that you don’t stay up every night till 3 doing tequila shots of some bar maid named Cookie).

I have this same problem, but with me, it’s not that pronounced–and it’s kinda genetic. My eyes have that ‘sunken’ look, recessed kinda deep into my skull. People usually think I’m sleepy. Or stoned.

I never worried about it much, i’ve heard cucumber helps, but the tea bag therapy is a new one on me…I may have to try it out, just to see if it helps.

In addition to the tea bags reply. Use chamomile tea bags, they won’t stain your face like regular tea bags.

Thanks for the info…I’ll try the tea bag thing…

But I think my problem is more genetic, because when I see fotos from when I was young 6-7 years old, I looked tired even then…

oh well…
it won’t do me any harm trying…

thanks again…
Untill I’m cured I’ll wear sun glasses…:cool:
