Puffy eyes!
Just got this information from Denise Austin this morning.

If puffy eyes leave you looking tired and aged every morning, the cure is as close as your kitchen! The following food fixes will quickly restore you to your bright-eyed and bushy-tailed best:

Place a chilled slice of cucumber over each eye and rest for five minutes. The cold reduces puffiness, while enzymes in the cucumber help draw out excess fluid!
Another vegetable cure comes from the potato. Peel and slice thinly, then place a few slices over each eye and relax for 10 minutes. Bye-bye bags!
Fix a couple of cups of hot tea, then squeeze out the tea bags and let them cool. Place the room-temperature tea bags on your eyes for a few minutes and puffiness will vanish!

This was great news to wake up to this morning after looking in the mirror!
