1) Cucumbers
I’m sure you’ve seen spa commercials where customers are looking happy and relaxed with cucumbers over their eyes. And that’s because cucumbers actually work in reducing your eye bags! Just chill some cucumbers in your fridge. Cut out 2 thick slices and put one over each eye. Once they lose their coolness, use another 2 cool slices. Repeat until the puffiness goes away.
2) Stay Hydrated (Water)
The puffiness under your eyes may be caused by dehydration. When the body does not have sufficient water, you will experience water retention. Make sure to drink 8 glasses of water a day to keep yourself fully hydrated so your body doesn’t have to store up water in all the wrong places!
3) Potatoes
Potatoes, like cucumbers, are great for reducing your eye bags. You can prepare them like you would the cucumbers (two thick chilled slices) or you can use them in this other way: Grate 1 – 2 potatoes and place the shavings onto a clean cloth. Tie up the cloth and place it over your eyes for 15 minutes. Repeat until you feel the puffiness go away.
4) Egg Whites
Egg whites can help tighten your skin and help prevent wrinkles. Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and remove the yolks. Beat the remaining egg white thoroughly until it becomes stiff. Apply it underneath your eyes and leave it there for about 20 minutes. Wash off thoroughly with cold water and/or your facial wash. You will start to see the difference. Feel free to repeat this for a couple of days.
5) Lemon
Juice Apply fresh lemon juice onto your face underneath your eyes with a cotton ball. Caution: Make sure the lemon juice doesn’t get into your eyes. Wash it away after 15 minutes. You can repeat this daily.
6) Tomato
You can add tomato juice to the remedy above (lemon juice) and use the mixture for even better results!
7) Tea Bags
Tea bags help reduce swelling and inflammation due to their caffeine and antioxidants content. To use, put 2 used green or black tea bags in your fridge for 30 minutes to chill them. Once they are nice and cold, place them over your eyes (one on each eye) and leave them there for 15 minutes. Use this remedy up to 2 times a day, as needed.
8) Cold Spoons
Chill 6 spoons in your fridge for 30 minutes – 1 hour. Take out 2 of them and position them with the curved side over each eye (make sure your eyes are closed). When they become warm, put them back into the fridge and replace with 2 new cold ones. Do this until your eye bags subside.
9) Aloe Vera Gel
Apply aloe vera gel carefully underneath your eyes making sure that they don’t get into your eyes. Wait patiently while they work their magic.
10) Strawberries
Chill a couple of strawberries in your fridge. Once they are sufficiently cool, cut them in half and place each half over your closed eyes and relax. Repeat as necessary.
