Told my friends about it last night and they are all going to give it a go.

Now, I don't suppose you know of a magical cure for dark circles under the eyes do you.....

Try the aspirin mixed with a teeny bit of milk so that it stays quite thick and leave on till dry, then gently rub off with water and moisturise normally. The lactic acid in the milk works as either an AHA or a BHA (can't remember which).

There is a solution for dark circles, I am off to find it for you

Dark Circle Buster here

Pasted from the webpage:
"OK. Here is a gift to all you dark circled eyed gals out there. You asked for something to get rid of dark circles - here is a homemade Circle Buster recipe:

Go to your grocery store. Buy a box of regular, old fashioned unflavored gelatin (Knox, for example)
Take a small cup or bowl and put in 1/4 teaspoon of the gelatin mix. Add one Tablespoon of boiling water & stir for a minute.

Test it on your wrist to make sure it is not too hot. Then, using a cotton ball, pat it under your eyes as you would an eye cream or gel. Go lie down and listen to some music, or take a bath & let it stay on for at least 30 minutes. Then just rinse it off.

I worked in a day spa & this was our "Circle Buster" Treatment. Gelatin is very high in Vitamin K & Biotin. It will not remove your circles on the first application (but you will notice a difference), but if you do it daily for a week, and then 2-3 times a week for maintenance, you should notice a drastic reduction in dark circles.

The day spa where I worked charged $60 for this treatment (but they put rose petals on your eyelids), and it wasn't until after I quit, that I found out what was in those little white packets!"

Ooh, I am definitely trying that. Thanks Squeezy.

The aspirin thing really is blinking fabulous. Knocks the Baby Bottom Butter into a cocked hat.
