Hello.

I have really really really bad eyebags. I'm not exgerrating either.
Any suggestions for creams etc that I could use?
Oh and I have pretty sensitive skin as well.

Thanks.

I'll never get adequate sleep. I need to study.
But, does the cucumber thing actually work? How long should I leave it on for?

seriously, you need to make time for more sleep

cos sleep will be more beneficial to your learning/remembering than not sleeping properly and studying all the time is

During my HSC, i relied on Shiseido Elixir eye cream.

It makes your eyes less puffy, and moisturises the whole eye area. And it smelled alright.
It wasn't cheap (~$50 duty free), but it lasted the whole year.

Men's Health June 2005 article: Excess Baggage
Q: How do I get rid of the permanent bags under my eyes?
A: Prepare to travel lighter. Having bags under your eyes is largely a genetic condition and treatable if you're willing to go under the knife, reveals Dr Albert Kligman, a professor emeritus of dermatology at the University of Pennesylvania School of Medicine.
Caused by a protrusion of fat under the eye, bags "are very common and respond well to surgery", reveals Kligman.
The outpatient procedure - called transconjunctival blepharoplasty - involves an invisible incision under your lower eyelid, leaving less baggage and no visible scarring. You can't say that about your last wife.


personally I suggest you get some sleep or put on some foundation.

yeah during HSC and this year ive had very crap sleeping patterns as a result im not too happy with my the bags under my eyes, like its not bad or noticable much or anything just it does have a bit of an impact on just how it looks....my sister came home once and walked in to find me on the couch laying down with slices of cucumber on my eyes...she laughed and now she calls me fag, she bought me an eye mask for christman because of that...but ive only ever used it once....too cold that it hurts your eyes

the night before my year 12 formal i'd spent hours crying over something ridiculous. Anyway i woke up with the most swollen eyes ever!!! and i can attest that both cucumber and teabags work. Though you need to keep dunking them into iced water to make them cool again, doesn't work well when they're warm, better when they're cold to reduce swelling. And it does take a while.
Again, best is to get sleep, or sleep with one of those eye masks if you can bear it.

sleep. drink plenty of water and try making eye pads with grated raw potato juice or alternatively put thin slices of potato on eyes aswell..it makes the skin get tighter and look less puff!


don't put heavy creams around eyes it makes it worse!
