under-eye dark circles and dull lifeless skin

Since having my daughter (6mo) I have dull lifeless
Skin and mega dark circles even though she's an angel baby I think.

I just feel shattered (low iron I think too) and lack of good diet and water.

But make up or natural tips can work ..

Got any good tips/natural remedies?

What concealer do you find works?

I use a Benefit one which is fab - covers everything without looking mask like.
Sleep sadly is the best remedy!

Like grey in colour and just horrid even tough I exfoliate and moisturise.

Get some sleep. Grin

I use Estee Lauder Ideal Light - brush on concealer with something light-reflecting in it. It's magic. And a bit of blusher helps, I find. I never used to wear anything other than concealer, powder and mascara day-to-day, but now use blusher daily and a light beigey eyeshadow which has a bit of sheen to it - makes me look much more awake.

I normally use No7 tinted moisturiser with SPF, No7 concealer stick, bit of blusher
Then I do my eyes..
I find that when I have more sleep, I feel more tired :(
I have recently started using the No7 protect + perfect day and night moisturisers.. Nothing helping my skin.
My diet is shite, and just feel fed up of being a 22 year old (nearly) looking much older and just drained??

Start with the diet then. I know when I do low carb my skin is beautiful within about 4 days. And we're talking baby's bottom soft and clear, when my skin is usually pretty crappy. To much sugar and carbs will also keep you stuck feeling sluggish and tired. I need to follow my own advice really, I;ve been feeling bone achingly tired in the afternoons, and my skin is a disaster. Go to the library and get out India Knight's Idiot Proof Diet. It'll do wonders.
