👁️ How to Reduce Under-Eye Bags, Dark Circles, and Puffiness
Under-eye bags and dark circles are caused by a mix of factors such as fluid retention, aging, lack of sleep, or genetics. While no remedy can “erase them forever” in 3 days, there are several effective natural and cosmetic methods to significantly reduce puffiness and appearance.

2️⃣ Cucumber Slices or Potato Slices

- Place chilled slices on closed eyes for 10–15 minutes.
3️⃣ Tea Bags (Green or Black)
