What's a good cream or something for under eye circles and bags? I'm only 17 but I get them.

•Eat whole foods as much as possible. Coconut water and green tea are good natural diuretics.
•Potassium-rich foods such as bananas, strawberries and yogurt help keep the body from retaining water.
•get plenty of vitamin a, e, c and B6
•Keep yourself hydrated by drinking enough water
•Avoid foods and beverages that encourage water retention
•Maintain an iron rich diet and talk to your doctor about iron tablets
•do not go over 1,000 milligrams of sodium a day, or at least try not to
• place both of your index fingers on the sides of your outer nostrils and apply gentle pressure on the two areas for ten seconds. Repeat five times. Pressing your acupressure points will release toxins that turn into under eye bags.
•Going to bed on early, sleeping for seven to eight hours, keeping stress levels low and doing facial exercises that minimize under eye bags will tighten the eye ring muscles and improve circulation in the eye area, which can help lighten the appearance of dark circles.
•freeze 2 cucumber slices for half an hour. Lie down and place both on closed eyes for fifteen minutes.
•try sleeping with your head elevated with two pillows to improve circulation

As for coverage, simply using a lights concealer doesn't really work or look natural. Try a salmon coloured corrected (Benefits Erase Paste) below a concealer of your skin tone or a shade lighter (maybelline fit me) to brighten up your eyes! To conceal bags you're pretty much reverse contouring lol! You don't want to brighten any puffiness because it will only be more prominent. So instead you will want to put a concealer underneath your bags on the little shadows. You can also add a light dust of shimmer in that area too with a small fan brush!

Make sure to eat good and get plenty of sleep! I honestly don't know of any good creams to prevent or fix bags, but for under eye circles, I use the Mary Kay dark circle corrector (it comes in a rollerball packaging) Since it can be a little drying, I like to use any eye cream I have laying around the house, but you could do some research to make sure you invest in a really good moisturizing eye cream. I find that this dark spot corrector really helps brighten my under eyes! To cover them in the mean time, use a concealer. They have different color correcting concealers based on the colors of the dark circles. Then you could also apply illuminating powder under the eyes!

Heredity often plays a role. CVS has an effective, clear, caffeine roller and green tea is a fantastic anti-inflammatory agent and so I drink up and place cool tea bags on my eyes. Elevate your head when sleeping. Brittany gave much sage advice, indeed.
