Welcome to Gaia! ::

That's right darlins! Reducing puffiness or under eye circles can be as easy as brewing a cup/pot of tea. I didn't read this anywhere, or if I did I totally forgot where I read it, but I remember one day I was bored and I had a pot of green tea. I was done and something in my head told me to put the tea bags on my eyes and chill for a minute. After like five minutes and sitting and chilling with tea bags on my eyes, my stepdad started making fun of me so I took 'em off. A few minutes later I looked in the mirror and my usually dark circles look a lot better! Also, my eyes felt refreshed. I'm certain I wasn't the first to do this, but I'm just spreadin' it. Now, I'm pretty sure this is mostly due to the caffeine in tea in conjunction with the antioxidant soothing goodness. I can't say if this'll work fo sho for erybody, but hey? It's not like it's an expensive try.

Procedure:

• Brew some tea. Green or White are preferable choices. Avoid black because it could potentially stain the skin (*credit of this fact to Xena9138 cool Use two tea bags. (Unless you have one eye.)

• Drink your tea.

• Blot or wring bags so they're not dripping, you want them to be wet but not pouring tea all over you. Also, make sure they're a bit cooled off. It's okay if they're still warm, that's nice, but putting super hot tea bags on your eyes would not end well.

• Put tea bags, one on each eye, try to have it cover under your eyes and your eye lids, above the eyes is usually not as much of a choice place. (Make sure you're not wearing make up for this, btw.)

• Chillax for a few minutes with teabags on your eyes.

• I didn't have the tea bags on my eyes for more than five minutes, but I'm sure going longer wouldn't hurt. So after however long you feel like it, take 'em off.

• Feel rejuvinated!

Hope you ladies enjoy this cheap solution. :3

Okay! Thanks for the info!! I used a black tea and it didn't do anything, but muchos gracias! I'll edit it.
