Maybe someone can help me out - I swim in the morning then rush to work. Practice ends about 30 minutes before I begin work, so "rush" is the operative word. Here's my problem: despite feeling great from the swimming induced endorphin high when I get to work, I look terrible. I still have racoon eyes from my goggles. www.usms.org/.../cane.gifI look a million years old. Anyone know any tricks, creams, or whatever to combat this? I have tried loosening my goggles, and have switched brands, but ulitmately these alternatives resulted in leaky goggles, and hence, pink eyes. Being a high school teacher, looking old is preferable to looking stoned, but still...

    I have what appears to be permanent raccoon eyes from wearing Kaiman goggles (junior) this past summer and awful under eye bags. I'm 47, female. Quite worried as I feel I have aged significantly in the last 4 months due to this and wondering if anyone has heard about permanent damage to the under eye skin and eye bags/discoloration due to long term use of goggles, especially those that use suction.
