Dark 'bruises' under my eyes

3 replies

wore new swim goggles in the pool today (haven't swum in donkey's years) and they felt like they were sucking my eyeballs out. Got out and I have two crescent shaped bruises under my eyes where the suction has been too great for the delicate under eye area.

I have a feeling this has happened before but not swum for about 10 years so had forgotten. What can i do apart from wear dark glasses for a week?

Just use concealer? Assuming the area is still smooth and not super swollen.

Arnica cream will help get rid. Also do a delicate draining eye massage, and drink extra water.

I'll pop out and get some arnica. Need to look for alternate goggles. It looks less obvious today, but shows how delicate the under eye area is
