Cucumbers
You’ve seen it everywhere, from movies to salons, from opening on a roommate. But is it as good as everybody believes them to be? The answer is yes. Cucumbers have astringent properties, which help reduce swelling and help tighten the skin. Also helps reducing fine lines and wrinkles as well as brightening your skin tone.
Milk
Place cotton pads in chilled milk for a few minutes, then put them on your eyes for 20-30 minutes. This is very useful if you have extremely puffed up eyes. Do this often and you will see a big improvement.
Tea Bags
Much like milk, tea bags (either green or black) have long-lasting effects if used properly and often. Put two tea bags in cold water for a couple minutes, then put them in the refrigerator for another couple minutes. Then all you have to do is place them over your eyes for 25-30 minutes. Another method is to make the tea, then set the tea bags aside and put in the refrigerator until chilled. Put over your eyes for 5-10 minutes and enjoy both of the health benefits of the tea.
Chilled Spoons
If you don’t want to put food on your face, put 4 spoons into iced water and put 1-1 over each eye. Keep switching them off so you have cold ones over your eyes. Repeat until the puffiness is gone (about 10-15 minutes).

Sleep Schedule
Having a consistent sleep schedule, as well as changing bed and pillowcases every week surely make a difference and making your eye bags disappear. If you can’t get 8 hours of sleep every day, at least try to keep your sleep schedule consistent during the week and the weekends, and don’t switch it up often, if possible.

Personally, I find the potatoes to be the most effective, if I don’t have the time or resources for it, I just use the spoons because it doesn’t need anything and takes a relatively short time.
