Quick Fix for Under-Eye Bags: How To
Adapted from The Herbal Home Spa, by Greta Breedlove (Storey Books, 1998).
Nobody looks good with puffy bags under their eyes, but how to get rid of them? Everyone’s got their magic potions, but this is the easiest remedy I’ve ever run across, and it really works!
I was so surprised by the single kitchen 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!
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.

I held two national certifications as a Trainer and I just want to clear up the notion that you can turn fat tissue into muscle tissue...you can not, they are two different tissues. You can decrease the amount of fat tissue and increase the density of muscle tissue through proper exercise and diet.

no offence but i doubt there are natural ways of permanently removing eyebags if that's what your looking for..
eyebags and lower top lids are caused by excess fat and skin. nothing can remove the skin without surgery, fat too, but thinking logically you'd need a way to reduce the fat without turning it into muscle the way we do with exercise for example.
I'm just using common sense, and truely i've never come across any lotion or the sorts that will reduce eyebags. If there was, the world would know about it and cosmetic surgeon's wouldn't have a job with eyebag removal.
I'm looking for a cure, but for now the only real 'cure' would be surgery.. untill it comes to that, i'll be thinking of a way round it.

Yeah i tied it but unfortunatly i cannot keep using this method because it totally dries out your skin. I used as it said and -i guess its just my skin type idk- it was so NOT an improvement in my look. ill take bags anyday rather than have skin that looks and is overly dry. So thx but no thx. For those of you who have sensitive skin i can tell you- this is not the way to go. it was a try though so thx i guess.

I found a wonderful skin care and great nutritionals that have helped my skin temenderously. My skin glows and looks so much more youthful than it did years ago. My hair is not greying according to my age and my skin is not wrinkling quickly anymore.
