Kind of lighthearted, but please tell me they're not here to stay!

My baby has been a terrible sleeper but i've just sleep trained him and he's sleeping through 🙏🙏🙏 but i still look exactly as tired as before. Tell me the dark under eye raccoon circles will disappear with more sleep??

Honest answers only please. I need to prepare for the worst.

Side note, best under eye concealer?

TIA

Yes, definitely directly sleep related.

Although I never quite bounced back from the baby I had at nearly 40 in the same way I bounced back from the babies 15 years earlier Sad 🤷🏽‍♀️

Moisturise like a maniac! Smile

Best way to conceal is to use a colour corrector rather than a traditional concealer- Bobbi Brown is very good

Also drink water

Drink lots of water

More sleep will definitely help! But in the meantime, you could try this: www.boots.com/the-ordinary-caffeine-solution-5egcg-10267777?cm_mmc=bmm-buk-google-ppc--premium_beauty--Caffeine-_-UK_Brand_TheOrdinary+Product_Exact&gclid=CjwKCAjwiMj2BRBFEiwAYfTbCoWu_Q3T_IG3QB7jyoJaaYcEGHc-1kK36PHTEFdbYasqhMcGWzXYmxoC-Y0QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

It’s a caffeine solution which helps brighten the eye area and reduce puffiness. I’ve found it has helped me after just a few days of use.

I second the ordinary caffeine solution, hasn't eradicated the under eye circles but definitely reduced them, just don't get it in your eye....

I use a CC cream and then concealer over the top. Without the CC i just have beige coloured dark eye bags. With it it is the same colour as the rest of my skin. I also use eye cream for puffiness though because otherwise concealing is irrelevant because I have so much puff

YouJustDoYou · 31/05/2020 08:13

Personally no not for me but then until they're teens I doubt I'll ever sleep well u til then so I'm stuck with using concealer for now.

NZlife · 31/05/2020 08:15

A small amount of red lipstick helps to colour correct them with A little foundation or concealer on top.
Drinking lots definitely helps too!

Third recommendation for The Ordinary here, it's great stuff and cheap.

RainbowSlide · 02/06/2020 00:12

Brilliant thanks for the recommendations !

I shall keep up the water intake and cross fingers. It's not the end of the world but I'd rather not look more tired than I feel!
