It's an old wives' tale, but it works.

"Placing a cool object on the eyes reduces puffiness and undereye circles. Black tea bags really do the trick." -Jody A. Levine, M.D., NYC

Yes, dark circles do respond to topical treatments.

"For shadows under the eyes, I tell my patients to use lightening agents like kojic acid, arbutin and retinol—they don't just work on wrinkles!" -Jody A. Levine, M.D., NYC

My DH and I were just talking about the hands thing the other day.  He was talking about his single days and that when older women would hit on him he'd check out their hands to see how old they were, lmao.  I guess it's a good thing my hands didn't reveal my true age :)

Smart man.

That's one thing I've always done. Whatever I do to my face, I do to my hands. Except my acne creams. No acne stuff on my hands.

I always rub whatever is left on my fingertips into the tops of my hands.  And don't forget your neck and chest!  Sally Hansen makes an awesome hand cream that has SPF, lightens age spots and freckles... it does everything, lol.
