Under Eye Treatments

a natural alternative to reducing dark circles and under eye puffiness

Natural Under Eye Treatments

Bridgette shares her secret for under eye treatments for those puffy dark under eye circles.

(Actually, it's her Grandmother's but don't tell anyone.)


Thank you for sharing Bridgette!

Bridgette is convinced that treatments for the under-eye area sold for exorbitant prices don't even come close to her natural skin care remedy for dark puffy under eye circles.

Although this is a very simple skin care recipe that was brought to the United States by Irish immigrants escaping the potato famine, Bridgette has found it to be extremely effective.

This recipe has certainly been used for generations in her very Irish family.

Chilling the mixture prior to applying it to the under eye area is a key secret to this natural recipe so be sure not to miss very important this step.

Under Eye Treatments



Potato Under Eye Treatment


  • 1/4 cup raw potato, finely grated (or you can use up any left-over cooked mashed potatoes instead)

  • 2 thin slices of potato- place in freezer for 15 to 20 minutes

  • Sprinkle lightly with salt

  • Mix in about 1 tablespoon of any dairy product such as milk, cream, yogurt, buttermilk or sour cream until the mixture forms a smooth, creamy paste

Chill for at least one hour.

Smooth mixture evenly over the face paying particular attention to the under-eye area, then place a slice of the raw potato over each eye.  Relax while mask sets for 10 to 15 minutes then rinse well with warm water.



potatoes contain an enzyme that helps to diminish dark circles

Bridgette freezes any leftovers in an ice cube tray, then wraps the potato mixture in a soft piece of cotton and applies to the under-eye area for 10 minutes each morning to not only diminish the appearance of the dark circles but to treat her under eye puffiness as well.



Facts about the humble potato:

The use of potatoes as a skin care treatment dates back more than 5000 years.  Archaeological archives document that potato slices were used medicinally in Peru as a soothing remedy for skin burn. In some countries, it was also used as soap.
