    Quick Fix for Under-Eye Bags - How To

    Adapted from The Herbal Home Spa, by Greta Breedlove (Storey Books, 1998).

    SIMPLE SOLUTION: Well, this is the easiest remedy I’ve ever run across, and it really works!

    I was so surprised by the single kitchen-cupboard ingredient that this How-To calls for--it's not a cucumber, and you’re sure to have one on hand. Find out the secret here:

    Raw potato slices will help tighten baggy, puffy eyes. All you need is a potato and a knife or slicer!

    To Make:

    1. Slice 1/4 potato to fit over your eyes.

    2. Cut 2 slices or, if you prefer, 5 to 10 very thin slices, several for each eye. Either method works.

    To Use:

    1. Spritz eye area with water.

    2. Lying down, place the potato slices on your eyelids and leave in place for at least 10 minutes for best results. http://www.care2.com/greenliving/quick-fix-for-und...

    the whole preparation h thing is only good if you remember that you have to use a NEW tube, and use it only for that.

    you can store witch hazel in the fridge, and soak a couple of cotton balls in it, squeeze the excess witch hazel out, and place the balls on your eyes. relax for 5-10 minutes.

    something that can be helpful is to take an antihistimine. frequently people with allergies will get 'allergic shiners' which respond well to antihistimines.

    the used cold tea bag is good, you can also use herbal teas.

    of course, you have to be really well hydrated, drink 6-8 cups of water a day (more if it's hot, and water is the key, caffeinated drinks won't help, since the caffeine will prevent your body from absorbing the water, it's a diuretic)

    Preparation H. Have never tried it, but have heard it's a make-up secret for television personalities. A friend said he used it when going to a party and it worked.

    I'm sure any butt cream would do, but Preparation H is fun to type. And it reminds me of the Conan O'Brien caracter.

    Source(s): Television. Like most things I know.

    ok..this will sounds very weird but it works...to get bags out from under ur eyes, take used tea bags(like lipton or luzianne) and place them on ur eyes(eyes closed). the caffeine in the tea will help reduce the bags.
