Pregnancy Tip: Undereye circles sometimes come along with morning sickness because you get dehydrated, and it shows up in the thinning skin under the eyes. Drink plenty of water throughout your pregnancy. Even if you are not pregnant, it is recommeded to drink 7 glasses of water per day, to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
