Anyone with a Closer magazine subscription can check out the ways to combat pesky dark circles around the eyes.
If you're prone to getting dark shading - and not the type that come from smudged makeup - you can get some advice from Closer magazine on healthy ways to get rid of those bags.
Often people put the bags down to a lack of sleep, the circles are actually caused by the blood vessels around the eyes showing through the skin.
Indulging in alcohol, cigarettes and salty processed foods can also exacerbate the bags, as they cause the blood vessels to bloat.
So, to combat those dark circles, Closer magazine recommends drinking plenty of water as this plumps up the skin below the eyes, helping hide bags.
Using vitamin K-rich creams can help as that helps lighten the vessels through reducing clotting.
Limited amounts of fluid will gather under the eyes as long as you keep your head elevated when you sleep.
Recently, Closer magazine revealed that the new average size for a UK woman is a size 16, with more than six million ladies considered to be a "plus size".
