nice pointers. I have oily skin and most of the time I just use J&J baby powder on my face and dab some chanel loose powder on the skin under my eyes.

on the downside I do occasionally get acne but it has improved. I guess less sebaceous glands as I'm growing up.

I got them too. Here's a Japanese remedy to it. i know abt it, but hardly ever do it. Try it if you can. After you get up from bed, place a cloth dipped in warm water on your eyes (not too hot water, but warm). Have it on for sometime (until the warmness is gone). Then dip it again in the warm water and place over your eyes. Repeat 10 times.
After that, dip the cloth in ice cold water. Repeat the above process 10x.

If you still are not bored of doing it, repeat this cycle (hot-cold-hot-cold) a coupla times. This should help with the dark circles, puffiness and all. If you can't do it first thing in the morning, you can do it wherever it's convenient for you, i guess.

Other remedies: placing slices of cucumber, potato, tea bags, cotton swabs dipped in rose water etc over the eyes for 15-20 mins daily.

Here's the best selling eye cream on amazon. I just started using it http://www.amazon.com/InstaNatural-Cream-Circles-Puffiness-Wrinkles/dp/B00KCFAZTE/ref=sr_1_1?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1427478783&sr=1-1&keywords=eye+cream

I got combination skin, which is a nuisance.

** i don't know about the indian powders. i use J&J cuz it's supposed to be gentle. i made two dishes over the weekend: spinach with potatoes and broccoli with podi. i had both with brown rice and finished off with a cup of yogurt. now i'm having a cup of french vanilla coffee that i made myself.

**sometimes you gotta eat junk. i can't help eating it when i'm stressed. i'm trying to develop different behaviors in response to stress such as doing a set of exercises for ten mins, smelling lavender oil, or meditation with deep breathing and humming.

**after i sleep for 14-17h they usually go away. plus drink a lot of water to stay hydrated.

Ya, that's the key. They come and go depending on how well or worse i sleep. Good sleep is the key.
