Hemorrhoid Cream

It also contains hydrocortisone, which can eliminate puffiness., resulting in a clear, fresh-faced look.
Tomatoes and Cucumbers
It may be time to head to the garden or fridge to combat troubling eye bags. Tomatoes fresh off the vine may be a solution. They are high in lycopene, which is good for vision, heart health and the skin. Lycopene decreases dark circles and promotes a more supple skin surface.
Cucumbers also help reduce inflammation around the eye areas. Cucumber juice tames swelling and provides vital antioxidant properties that may help our skin fight off day-to-day toxins.
Tea Bags
The main culprit of eye bags and dark circles lies in the delicate skin in the area. When irritated or the body is trying to flush out toxins, stained capillaries can appear. Cold tea bags are the perfect solution for naturally treating puffiness and dark bags under the eyes.
