There are two main kinds of dark circles under eyes ("periorbital"- around the eye):
- Those caused by highly visible superficial blood vessels
- Those caused by local excess skin melanin (hyperpigmentation)

Re. the first kind of dark circles around eyes: What you have under your eyes are red-blue blood vessels that for some reason has become more visible.

Sleep deprivation may increase the prominence of dark circles below the eyes, as the area becomes irritated. Puffy eyelids from lack of sleep can help darken the area below the eyelids. Sleep deprivation can lead to pallor (pale skin), which can highlight the unaffected blood vessels under the eyes.

Being underweight/low bf% make the blood vessels more visible, as the skin above it becomes thinner. Rubbing the eyes, or making the eye area irritated in general, can contribute to increased blood flow in the area.

tldr: sleep well. don't stare at screens for too long (see Computer Vision Syndrome). check for allergies. gain weight. do not irritate the area. use make-up. check for anemia. and if you're still bothered by it: see a doctor (dermatologist)

For hyperpigmentation, I wrote a response to a guy:
>What you have /are/ periorbital dark circles, but yours seems to be related to an excess of pigmentation in the area rather than overly visible blood vessels. What you seem to have is called "periorbital hyperpigmentation".
>Without intervention, the pigmentation often increases slowly over time. Treatment options include chemical dermabrasion, laser, filler injection. Sunscreen is good to prevent further pigmentation in the area.
>The quick beauty fix: BB cream with sunscreen.
>Actually fixing it: possibly by the use of chemical dermabrasion/chemical peeling. Ask your doctor/a dermatologist.

To see what you /may/ have, google "periorbital dark circles" as well as "periorbital hyperpigmentation" specifically. Hyperpigmentation is more common for people with darker skin.

you're fucking welcome.

Well, when someone says that it tells at least one of these two things:
- They have no clue about how TF Tuscan Leather smells.
- They have no clue about how any kind of cocaine smells

Tuscan Leather is the scent of a leather jacket, pure and unadulterated. Most other notes are imaginary.

Pure lab-made cocaine, without any traces of solvents, will not have a smell. Your average on-the-street cocaine, regardless of if it is cut or not, will most likely have an aromatic gasoline/diesel smell due to solvent remnants from the production process, as well as from the anti-K9 masking of the packages before shipping. Re-rocked cocaine will possibly also smell like acetone and/or ammonia.

No, you most likely did not get acne because you slept too little.

But anyways, my normal approach is useless here. Asking someone to do bad things to their body would feel a bit counter-intuitive.

I mean, I would never suggest that people should drink less water, eat more salt, drink more coffee/tea (with plenty of caffeine), staring at a computer screen for long periods of time, sleeping too little, using no/a flat pillow to help fluid accumulate in your face (this could lead to general puffiness in the face area as well), drinking alcohol, rubbing your eyes to increase fluid accumulation in the general area, as well as smoking...

The above was mostly applicable for the puffiness "eyebags" part. The guy in the pick seems to mostly have "dark circles" rather than eyebags. I mean, he has some eyebags but the dark circles underneath the eyes are more prominent.

Q: DO YOU WANT EYEBAGS (puffiness), OR DARK CIRCLES (color)?

>In fact during a male orgasm testosterone is released.

"Although higher testosterone levels are seen with abstinence, orgasm does not acutely affect testosterone levels in the blood."

"Testosterone has minimal interactions with orgasm, but is seen as a positive regulator of sexual desire or libido alongside dopamine."

not complaining.
merely observing.

Do it as often as you feel that it is needed to prevent acne, and as often as you want to while still not drying or irritating your skin too much.

Buying things online can be recommended. Often the only reliable way to get hold of the exact product you're after.

Are you referring to this post?
>>/fa/thread/S9359926#p9388974

There are plenty of user experiences to read on Amazon. Spot test, be careful about your eyes, follow the instructions, and dilute it and/or use it for shorter periods of time if it irritates your skin too much.

Nice dubs.
"After shave" is a very vague term. If it acts more as an astringent or not depends on what's in it. Witch hazel is a rather effective astringent, but there are plenty of other substances that works in the same way. What's your purpose of using astringents?
