What do you do when a case of puffy eyes attack?!
I was getting ready for an event last night and I took one look at myself in the mirror and freaked out! I didn’t know who’s eyes were starring at me but they couldn’t possibly belong to me! Holy Frog-eyes Batman.It was ATTACK OF THE SWIM GOGGLES! My workout gear got the best of me. I had gigantic, dark, bulging, god-awful bags under my peepers. Oh noooo! I can’t look like this. Ack! I shoved a toothbrush in my mouth and ran into the kitchen. I had to have a cucumber around here somewhere. I rounded the corner from the hall to the kitchen and there was my tea bag from my morning cup sitting on the counter. Yessss!Topical caffiene is perfect in this situation. Natch!
As I brushed teeth with one hand I stuck the tea bag under one eye and grumbled about how long this would take…I’m running late of course. Results you ask? In the time it took me to take care of my teeth, my eyes looked back to normal. It really worked that fast. TIPS:- Go for the black or green teas. Caffeine is a key player to helping reduce swelling and lightening dark circles.
- Use a COLD tea bag. This will also help the swelling. Whatever you do grasshopper, don’t use a hot tea bag on your eyes.
