Say "Goodnight" to Tired Eyes
It's time to wake up and pack up those bags under your eyes!
Lack of sleep, allergies, too much salt or alcohol and harsh environmental conditions can result in sleepy, irritated eyes. Eye gel packs and cucumber based gels and pads work great, but if you need a quick "de-puff" you may only have to reach as far as the fridge or medicine cabinet:
* Slice of Life Throw on a couple of cool cucumber slices on your eyes and relax for a few. Cucumbers are loaded with nutrients including Vitamin C and will add an instant freshness to your face.
* "Eyes" Tea Soothe with the healing power of Chamomile or Herbal Tea bags. Dip the tea bags in cold water and place on your eyes for about 15-20 minutes.
* Potato Your Peepers Boiled not baked. Let it cool off till it's slightly warm. Slice and place on your eyes. Potatoes contain a high content of starch, which reduces puffiness and redness.
* Witchy Woman Soak a couple of cotton pads in Witch Hazel and place on the eyes for about 15 minutes to reduce inflamed eyelids and help lighten dark circles.
* A Little Preparation Who Knew! Dabbing on a small amount of Preparation H shrinks the baggage under your eyes too. (Hey, beauty pageant queens do it!) Just be careful not to get it in your eyes.
You can also dive in your make-up bag for a quick cure. Applying a white liner or shadow in the crease of your eyelids will instantly widen the appearance of your eyes. If you want to diminish dark circles apply a concealer that has an orange tint, this will neutralize the blue that makes you look sleepy.
