Dear American Girl,

I’m 13 and have the worst under-eye circles ever, no

matter how much sleep I get. I usually put a concealer

on them. Is there any way to get rid of them?

If the skin under your eyes is thin or fair, it’s easier to see the tiny blood

vessels that create the look of dark circles. The problem can be made

worse by lack of sleep, because this slows your circulation down, causing

blood to pool in those tiny vessels around your eyes. Circles can also

be caused by hay fever or other allergies, which cause the blood vessels

to swell. Try to get at least nine hours of sleep every night. If you have

allergies to pollen or pets, talk with your parent—and your doctor—

about treatments, and keep pets out of your room. With your parent’s

help, you could also try a drugstore eye cream for circles. If you use a

concealer, apply the eye cream first and let it dry. Then lightly dab on

a liquid concealer that matches your skin color and gently blend it in.
