HELP ME PLEASE! Puffy eye bags!

I have puffy bags under my eyes...I hate them...how do I get them to go away/minimise or hide????

I'm very pale, and I think I get enough sleep (bearing in mind I have a toddler!)

So preventions and cures...all gratefully accepted...and if you girls don't know I don't know where else to turn!

cold tea bags are good, or keep two tea spoons in the fridge and pop them over your eyes when you get a few minutes

Or you can use the good ol' slices of cuecumber or even potatoes or used tea bags, cold though!!!

I have the same problem but find that spoons/cucumber arent really effective Sad I've heard of stroking the under eye area with an ice cube but havent tried it yet, has anyone got any tips for covering/minimising them for a photoshoot (before I resort to pile cream Shocked )

pile cream!!! See I've heard that, and I will admit it (the really greasy stuff) is fantastic on new tattoos...but can you really use the gel on your eyes? And is there any long term effects etc???

(pee ess, can't do the spoon thing..have deranged toddler, sitting still is not an option...also cucumber hates me...so I avoid it out of respect)

Pile cream is ok for a quick fix, it's a vaso constrictor which means it contract the small veins that serve the area so eventually with long term use could make the problem worse. I quite like aloe vera gel it's cures all ills, lol
