Puff Be Gone!

I am a full-time mom, student and wife so my life is extremely hectic, 24 hours a day.

Sometime’s, I barely get the minimum amount of sleep. The evolution of my world, pretty much, keeps me routinely busy. Sometime’s when I’ve pulled a late nighter (you know, surfing the web, blogging, research, Myspace, that whole deal) I wake up the next morning and my eyes are so big and puffy, it’s looks as if I’d been crying my heart out all night before.

There’s a lot of stuff on the market today for eye puffiness. I’ve tried Avon-Eye Renewal for puffiness, Neutrogena, Olay and others. At the start of my usage or regime, these products felt so good to my face and skin - there was a tingling feeling, you know, the feeling that it’s REALLY WORKING. To me, all worked pretty fine, considering, but with routine use, it could get pretty darn expensive, and aren’t we all on some kind of budget nowadays?

So, I scratched that and began my own search for a cheaper solution to my problem that I could also use consistently. I was speaking with my great-grandma, bless her heart (90 years old) one day regarding this issue and she let me on to what I thought was an outdated old-wives tale treatment for puffiness. Of course, I thought I did have to use something that was at least within this DECADE.

But she told me that she and her sisters used to use fresh, under-ripe CUCUMBERS. I said "Cucumbers, I think I might have heard that from somewhere previously.”

I definitely gave it a try and truthfully, it superseded my expectations, you guys. Cucumbers really do work to prevent and treat puffiness under the eyes! Just wanted to put such a great tip out there for everyone, it worked for me and I believe you’ll enjoy also.
