Please rid me of the bags!!!!!!!

[Egyptianangel]

Does anyone have any beauty tips about how to get rid of those nasty big bags under the eyes? I've tried the make-up to try to disscuise it, but to no avil. Have tried cucumbers and creams, but no luck with those either.
Does anyone have a good remedy?

I don't have any experience myself with this.. but just looked in the mirror, and maybe I should try this too!

One traditional way of minimizing them is to use wet tea bags. Something about the tannin, I think. And I've heard of people using Preparation H, which I guess doesn't care what tissue it shrinks.

Shiseido sells some undereye treatments -- it's like a little semicircle of impregnated fabric of some kind that you apply under the eyes. I don't recommend these. They used to have great ones that were super-moisturizing (but wouldn't help bags, unfortunately). The latest ones I bought from them a year or so ago dried out the eye area so badly that it took almost a week to get the skin back to normal. At least that's how my skin reacted... I pretty much looked like this little green critter afterwards.

prep H doesnt shrink..it soothes the irritation with fish oil which helps the inflamed area heal. I tried this...its a myth, your eyeballs will just smell of cod afterward.

the manufacturers of prep H have removed the ingredient which shrank eyebags. So all the current formulation will offer is the psychological placebo effect and a butt-smelling face.
