Beating Eye Bags
Puffy under-eyes may be inherited from your parents, but you can make those bags bigger by staying awake at night worrying or by calming your nerves with a little or too many drinks, both of which make you retain water.
It may help to cut down on salt and alcohol to keep water retention at bay. For a fast fix, freeze two bags of green tea and keep them on your eyelids for 10 minutes. The tea has tannin, an anti-inflammatory that reduces puffiness. And for those of you who are suffering from insomnia, try taking valerian at night, it's a natural sedative.

hi there
hi there
Thanks for the advice, I always up late, blogging and tweeting, this will certainly help me out ;)
thanx for sharing but I can'ttake the sedative cause I want to be aware of my son and hubby c:
Wow, I'm definitely going to have to try the teabags to get rid of 'the' bags! LOL tfs! Hope all is good with you Liza!! : )
This I'll try. I woke up this morning with one eye puffy both below and on the eyelid. Allergies I assume. I don't drink alcohol but I do drink a lot of tea so that may be my problem. This also gives me something to do with those green tea bags I bought thinking I could learn to love the stuff.

I've used Valerian before but have never heard of putting tea bags on your eyes at night. Thanks for the tip!
having eyebags make one look dignified
kung baga para may pinagkatandaan
hwag yan yun eyebags na mala pepe pimentel
pangit na talaga yon
hehe
happy sunday, liz!
Great tips! I find that going out for a run is a also a great way to insure a good night's rest!
when i'm desperate to get sleep, i take sleepasil which has valerian root in it -- very effective!
Hey Liza,
How are you, darling? I am fine and I did have a great weekend, thank you :D!
The green tea in the freezer: do we put it in the freezer after we use as tea, or do we put it there immediately after taking it off the box?
I will try this one out as well...
Have an excellent week, darling! :D
Hugs and cheers
Is it without side effects Liz? I that I don't intend to drin so maybe can help me look freesher... at least under the eyes.. ^^
