Question

How can potatoes help with puffy eyes?

How can potatoes help with puffy eyes? I always wake up with huge bags under my eyes but want something natural to help soothe them.

Answer

Potato Puffy-Eyes Treatment: Cucumbers might be the “spa day” cliche, but potatoes are an equally potent tool to reduce dark circles, brighten skin and soothe that under-eye puffiness!

How-To:

Slice two thin rounds from a medium-sized Idaho^® russet potato and place in a small dish. Put in the freezer for 20 or 30 minutes to chill.
When you’re ready to relax, place one slice over each eye (including your under-eye area) for 15 minutes.
Another option: Save some potato juice from your brightening mask, and soak two cotton pads in it and place in freezer until cool (about half an hour). Place the cotton balls over your eyes for 15 minutes.
