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.

Since recently having a baby I've had small, puffy bags under my eyes and I just look tired all the time even when I'm well rested. I got the Made from Earth Vitamin Face Firmin Serum in the mail the other day and tried it...woke up this morning and I'm very impressed with the results! Just one use and I look well rested, refreshed and my skin looked visibly brighter! The bags are gone and my eyes look amazing!

yes. I would love to get under-eye bag treatment. . .I had them since I was a kid but I'm a little scared that the doctor might make it worse. . . I found http://www.healthsouk.com

but nothing else that will show the safety of the procedure
