I don't have big eyebags under my eyes but it's dark around the eyes because I'm tired and been staring at the monitor too much.

Besides the obvious solutions (sleep & stay away from monitor) how do I get rid of it? I don't wanna sleep. You know the ladies of ATOT probably know about sliced cucumbers etc...

get some aloe vera cream and lather it on there a little, let it soak up and repair the pigment and lines.

I saw something on the news a while ago about this. Doctors claims that in the majority of cases the darkness under the eyes is genetic thing due some people having thinner skin under their eyelids. For these people, "tired eyes" is common, even with plenty of rest. And there's not a lot they can do about it but attempt to cover it up with creams and such.

If your eyes are puffy, I've heard of people using an anti-inflamatory (like Preparation-H) to reduce the puffiness.

Never tried it myself but I've heard that from several different people.

This really does work. Plus, you may wanna try steeping some tea bags (green tea spesifically) and when the are luke warm, put them on your eye and lay down for about 20 minutes. Remember to drink a lot of water too

I think I saw in some men's magazine like Maxim or Playboy or something one of those foo foo soap/perfume places that chicks go to in the mall has some stuff for guys that addresses this condition. I'm sorry I can't remember which one it was. :(

its the coldness of the cucumbers that helps. But that's mostly for puffiness. Its worth a try though :)
