Every morning I wake up with what looks like shiners under my eyes! Very frustrating, as I am for the first time in many a year actually taking care of myself with excellent eating habits, working out at the gym 3-4 times per week (I'm up to one hour of intense cardio!) and making sure I have at least seven or eight hours of sleep, which in itself is a miracle! Gone are the bar nights for the most part, and very, very little alcohol and cigs anymore. I have even quit caffeine! So basically, I have undergone a radical lifestyle change in the last six weeks and I feel quite good, aside from a sore hip and achy muscle issues.
I think I've read that circles under the eyes are somewhat hereditary, but does anyone know of any tricks to minimize and reduce the bruised, puffy look? I do wear a little makeup and concealer when I go to work but I am becoming very aware that makeup on women of a certain age (I'm 49) starts to look, well, just bad. I hope to soon someday get the guts to go bare-faced but I still struggle with acne issues!
I'm sure I'm not alone in this! I just want to look healthy, fresh and vital!
