You should apply a cold compress. There are many things that you can do to reduce the puffiness under your eyes.

1. get a bowl of cold water and put in some ice. Then, get a washcloth, soak it in the bowl of water and put the washcloth over your eyes.
2.put a slice of cucumber on both of your eyes.
3.use two cold tea bags and put them on your eyes.
4.soak cotton wool pads in cold water then place them on your eyes
5.wash your face with cold water

I read in a magazine that there is a new product being sold in department stores that gets rid of eye bags immediately. I don't remember what the brand was called but I'm sure that you can find out by asking if you plan to buy it.

i always heard that a cold spoon on the affected area will take the color out. same goes for hickeys. dont know how it works, but i guess its worth a shot.

Most people think that dark under-eye circles are caused by staying up late watching monster movies, or having that last drink the night before, or sitting up with your laptop trying to finish the quarterly report. Most people think that their behavior is somehow linked to dark under-eye circles.

Well, most people are dead wrong.


Your shiners, your raccoon eyes, your blue luggage... whatever you call your dark under-eye circles, here's what they really are: oxidizing hemoglobin.

Dark under-eye circles begin in the capillaries, the tiny blood vessels that web the delicate skin around the eyes. When something hits you, blood vessels are traumatized and sometimes broken. Blood leaks out into the surrounding skin. Your body begins the mopping-up process, and you see a dark, purplish or blue-black discoloration.

So, as you can see, dark under-eye circles are very similar to bruises. The same mechanisms produce them.

**HOME TREATMENT**
1. Thin slices of cucumber applied to your eyes not only helps to lighten the skin, but also soothes and cools the eyes.
2. The caffiene in tea bags acts as a remedy for dark circles by diminishing puffiness. Caffiene in tea helps to diminish water in the tissues around the eyes.

Hope this helps ya' girl...

Makeup is the only thing to really deal with the color. If they are really very puffy then try a dap pf preparation H under your eye. Cold tea bahs and Cucumber slices are often used as well.
