Post eyelids darker than the rest of my face?

have any of you have found your eye lids look darker than your face? I find it really makes you look unhealthy and as if you havent gotten much sleep. But i do get enough sleep (atlest 9 hours/day) and i dont watch too much tv or sit on the computer too long. It could be the combination of tv/computer and studying (because i have exams coming up) but as far as i can remember my eyelids have always look darker. I have glasses and upto a few weeks ago i never wore them most of the day, but for the last few weeks i have been wearing them and there is a slight improvement but i wish i could get my eyelids to be the same colour as the rest of my face. Im pretty sure it has to do with how stressed your eyes are because a few days back my freind borrowed my glasses for a day and the next days my eyes looked really bad. I have never really had good eyes but does anyone have any solutions or suggestions?
thanks

Cucumbers are known to help with that type of thing. You could also try getting an eye mask that you put in the freezer. You know, a lot of people who have allergies get dark circles around their eyes. Do you notice that it gets worse at certain times of the year? (i.e. hayfever season, etc...) You could also try damp teabags.

thanks for the replys. I never get dark circles around my eyes...its just the skin on top of my eyes that look a lot darker. My eyes are not even red 90% of the time. This is kind of hard to describe but im getting an eye test this month so hopefully that will resolve something

Do you mean that the skin on your eyelids is a darker shade than the rest of your face?

Good luck with the eye test. Let us know how it turns out.
