How do you get rid of bags under the eyes?...do you use cucumbers?

Answer 1

yes cucumbers work.. they have to be refrigerated first. also try frozen tea bags... but you have to make sure u get enouph sleep since that might cause for bags under the eye.

Answer 2

In a couple of hours not a lot can be done, if you're not willing to use makeup such as concealers. But there are a few things that might work. The first thing you need to do is get as much as sleep as possible, so try to get about 9 hours sleep for at least a week. Obviously, this won't fix the problem byu the time your school starts, but it will make sure it stays away. Also, start taking vitamin B6 as this helps A LOT. Things you can do at home: 1. Apply cool tea bags or ice cubes wrapped in cloth to the under eye circles. The tea bags helpto reduce discolouration and swelling. Refrigerating the tea bags works well, and keep your eyes shut and lay for 15minutes with them on your face. 2. You could use potato. Place one uncooked potato into a liquidizer and liquidize the whole potato. Scoop out and place the pureed potato on your closed eyes. Do this for 30 minutes (keep your eyes shut the whole time!!) and wash off with warm water after. 3. Use a frozen spoon. Put a spoon in the freezer for 15 minutes and place it over your eyes. Do this into the spoon turns warm. Also, drinking a lot of water might help :) Goodluck x

Answer 3

Cucumbers can work well, but most people don't keep cucumbers in their refrigerator all the time. For a better alternative, run a metal spoon under cold water for a minute or so, so that it is thoroughly chilled. Then hold it up to your eye for a minute. Then rinse it again and repeat with the other eye. Once they are un-swollen, you'll probably need to use a concealer to hide the discoloration. I would recommend the Maybelline Cover Stick in Yellow. The yellow will cancel out the blue undertones in your dark undereyes. To set the concealer and give it a long lasting finish, you'll need to find some pressed powder matching your skintone. This will also cover up the somewhat yellow-y tone left after you put the concealer on. You can skip the powder, but if you do, you'll need to carry your concealer around with you all day, because it will come off very easily.

Cucumbers?! It doesn't work as well. Try using Mary Kay's Soothing Eye Gel


From MaryKay.com

Answer 5

yes, cucumbers. Or, try tea bags. I swear by the body shop vitamin c under eye treatment. Works miracles.

Answer 6

Get eye cream. Cucumbers help decrease puffiness, but don't help your under eye circles.

Answer 7

For a quick fix lightly apply white, or a light colored eye shadow on the corners of your eyes closest to you nose. It decreases the shadows under your eyes.

Answer 8

Funny you should mention this. I was just looking this up for myself. I've been getting puffiness under them from lack of sleep since my newborn was born. I found this great site! I haven't tried it yet, so we can experiment together. Check out this link!
