Dark circles

Mine are terrible. I expect they're tiredness induced due to lockdown with 2.5yr old and 3 month old baby but still I'm wondering if there's anything I can do (besides more sleep, which is unlikely for a while...) Am in my early/mid 30s but feel like I'm starting to look much older.

I'm currently using the Neals Yard white tea eye gel, which is lovely and moisturising nut doesn't get rid of the bags. No makeup on my skin as I've pretty much run out now.

I'm in the shielded group so can't go out to the shops, but am on the hunt for other ideas from you wise S&Bers...

I'm drinking a lot of coffee/tea at the moment so trying to up my water intake too - might that help?? Any ideas gratefully received!

Just re-read my post and thought I should clarify that I don't mean anything bad about looking older than mid 30s. Just that I don't want to until I actually am! Sorry if that came across in the wrong way Blush

Iron deficiency? Tea / coffee doesn't help either if you're iron is low.
I'm anemic and when I don't take iron supplements the dark circles under my eyes look horrendous. If you start taking Spatone iron liquid (apple flavour is less horrible) results are noticeable after about 5 days.

I use YSL touche eclat - the gold stick - to conceal. It's good.
