14 Days of Beauty, Day 2: The Eyes

Home treatment for puffy eyes

This easy restorative treatment removes puffiness in a short amount of time.

You will need:

- 1 organic potato
- organic cotton facial pads

---or---

- chamomile tea bags

Directions:

1. Grate a potato and collect the juice in a bowl.
2. Apply the potato juice to damp cotton pads.
3. Place over the eye area for about 15 minutes. For extreme problems leave on for 30 minutes.
Chamomile tea bags placed over the eyes in the same manner are also a good alternative.

Drinking about a quart of nettle tea can also help reduce puffy eyes.

When you notice that you have bags under the eyes, it may indicate that your kidneys are under stress or you may be suffering from food allergies. Keep a close eye on the foods you are eating.
