Quick Fix for Under-Eye Bags: How To

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.

Ha! I would be happy to go out in public with potato peels on my eyeballs when I have stayed up all night, thanks for this info, but sometimes when it is in your family genes your only hope is a pair of Ray Bans sunglasses...even when you are driving and it is getting dark...When you have tried everything except surgery,, just easy to COVER those dang eyes!
