hi ladies, i didnt even think about asking for help with something like this here, but i saw the other request about cosmetics, what a good idea! so does anyone have any suggestions about what to do about the tremndous bags under my eyes? most cosmetics i see are for wrinkles, which are not really my concern, just the luggage, which i think actually need a very opposite thing than wrinkles, wrinkle things plump your skin and i sure need a de-plumper! thanks, D.

What can I do next?

Ya know, I heard preparation H... just like a prior post/reply to you had said. I'm gonna try it, myself. I'm also a 38 y.o. mom with serious bagland going on under my eyes. I saw some pics of me taken today and WOW does it make me look like an old fart!!!

Hi D., you are right with the thinking that you do not want a product that will plump the area under the eyes. That is why skin care companies formulate eye creams- to reduce puffiness. I am a skin care consultant with Arbonne International, so I can only speak for our eye creams. The skin under the eyes is very delicate and the pores are smaller than the rest of the face. Our formulas are designed to provide the correct moisture to this delicate area, as well as minimize the appearance of puffiness and fine lines. Our Anti-Aging corrective eye cream also reduces the appearance of dark circles. Let me know if you are interested in checking out the Arbonne line or would like a sample. My site is www.SwissSkinCareShop.myarbonne.com.

I know this sounds ridiculous, but preparation H (yes, i'm serious) it works wonders, it's actually a beauty secret of many models/actresses to use hemmoroid cream to get rid of dark circles and bags under the eyes. Just dab alittle under each eye in the morning and you'll be surprised how well it works.

This may sound silly and I'm not sure its what you are looking for, but taking two tea bags of chamomile tea that have been steeped and cooled placed on your eyes for a few minutes will help reduce the puffiness. Another remedy I have found is any kind of lotion with cucumbers and/or cranberries in it. Im new up here, so I can't even begin to tell you where to find a good health store, but there are bound to some in your area (i hope). :)

Hi D.,

Mary Kay has a couple wonderful products:

TimeWise Firming Eye Cream ~ firms, brightens, provides moisturization & also minimizes fine lines & wrinkles. (I had my mom try this she has some major baggage! shhhhh don't tell her I told you. She liked the results so much she now uses it on a daily basis!) :-)

Indulge Soothing Eye Gel ~ it contains botanicals which tone, firm & reduce the appearance of puffiness

The best part all the products are 100% santisfaction guaranteed, so if you are not completely santisfied with any MK products it will be replaced without charge, exchanged or the full purchase price refunded!

If you are interested in giving one of these a try you can call me @ ###-###-#### or check out my website www.marykay.com/kristincasey

Hope this helps!

Good morning D.. I am not going to try to sell you anything. I have heard that a small dab of Peperation H would make the bags go down. Might be worth the try. Take care. K.

Arbonne re9 eye cream!!! I am under 30 and obsessed, for those late nights when I have to wake up early and my eyes are so puffy and baggy it's like an eye awakener! My mom, grandma are all true believers as well, the kojic acid in it really helps to actually fade away dark circles over time and the other 9 key ingredients all aid in getting the puffiness down.

Hi D.,

You sound like you have your hands full and by now you have a 3rd child. I have 4 boys! They are older than yours but I totally know how you feel. I nursed all of them and I am on the natural side too.

I have my own business of botanically based skin care. We have a great eye cream that helps with lines, wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles. I would be happy to send you samples. If you would like to see the products just go to http://cathydepaola.myarbonne.com and you will also see a business opportunity as well. I am staying home with my boys and working around them. I can still do laundry and all the mom stuff but also make income.

If you would like to call me or e-mail me my # is ###-###-#### or drop me an email at ____@____.com

Talk soon,C.

Have you tried tea bags? I hear caffiene is supposed to shrink luggage. Also, as gross as this is, Preparation H or some other kind of hemmroidal cream. Those creams reduce the swelling of hemmroids so I've heard of people using them on luggage under the eyes too.

OK, don't laugh but it did work for me.....just a dab of Preparation H under the eyes. It shrinks the blood vessels and it really does work. Oh, that and plenty of rest.....LOL. Check with your doctor (if you can without laughing to hard) but I don't believe that it would be absorbed into work blood stream enough to cause a problem. Warm tea bag soaks followed by an ice pack is another treatment I've tried that works but I've found the cream works faster.
