Natural Home Remedies For Puffy Eyes And Eye Bags

January 24th, 2008 | Beauty, Skin Care

I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night because I was out rollerblading with my skating group until really late …then when I finally made it to bed I tossed and turned for hours. Exercise always does this to me, it makes my mind so restless. We went for a two hour skate which was pretty intense, so I’m thinking that maybe since the Christmas break I’m not so used doing cardio exercise anymore. The yoga I do every day has opposite effect, it relaxes me!

So I decided to do an experiment while I had the puffy eyes. I tried the two most common puffy eye bag remedies - cucumber and tea bags. I felt REALLY silly doing the experiment …and yes, I even laugh every time I watch the video, but hey, at least I’ve tried it so I can pass the information onto you

HA!
I don’t think you could every look hideous. Altho you did look hilarious with the two tea bags over your eyes. Definetely worth watching : ).

It struck me as really funny (it a very good sort of way) that I had just visited a blog last night that was promoting the yoga shoulder stand position as a remedy for puffy eyes and eye bags. So, you must have the perfect combination going.

I’m fairly new at the leaving comments part of blogging, but I’m having a great time meeting lots of new folks, and learning so much along the way.

Hi Lynn, that’s really interesting! I guess I must have the perfect combination because I do shoulder stands every day

But usually I do yoga in the evening when it’s too late to get rid of the puffy eyes, so maybe I need to start doing it in the morning …

Hi Fran,
Perhaps doing them in the evening will be an early prevention for the next A.M. I’m waiting for the perfect opportunity to attempt the green tea bags. I’ll be very happy if that is a long time off — means I’m sleeping well.

If you’re interested in a really great certified organic (but commercial) product for relief, I’ve just posted a suggestion on my blog. My clients who’ve experienced it have given rave reviews. I believe it does work quite well.

Have an awesome weekend.
