You asked "How to get rid of wrinkles/black shadows/bags from under your eyes"

Not sure about the wrinkles part - have adopted a skincare regime as my NY resolution that involves some eye firming stuff that is meant to get rid of 'fine lines and wrinkles' but it doesn't seem to make any difference at all.

As for the black shadows, the only real way to cure those is to get enough sleep. You can try and hide them with concealer but it doesn't work as well as getting your full 8 hours every night.

Bags are also got rid of by getting enough sleep, but as an emergency measure, keep two teaspoons in the fridge. When you are having one of those 'I could carry the shopping home in them' moments use the rounded backs of the spoons to smooth the puffy bits around your eyes. This works for me but if it doesn't work then it does at least feel nice smiley - biggrin

Used tea bags work just as well. The tea leaves are also good for the skin. smiley - smiley

In traditional Chinese medicine, having dark circles under the eyes is a sign of a Kidney imbalance....
which doesn't mean that your kidneys are about to conk out and you'll need to have dialysis, but it does mean that it's about time to start taking more care of yourself and your energy - start getting lots more sleep, eat healthily, drink lots of water, cut out/down on stimulants such as caffeine, nicotine etc.
