Okay, am trying not to freak out about this as I am of course a liberated woman in a modern age and there is more to me than my appearance and so forth but . . . OMG at the tender age of 26 I am beginning to develop bags and puffiness around my eyes! Does anyone have any recommendations for eye creams or other treatments that can help with this? I hear often that cucumber slices are supposed to help, but I was wondering if anyone had any other tricks up their sleeves . . . ---

D’oh. Should have done a search. Thanks **Athena**. Will report this thread for lockage as I think your thread covered it, ie, blame genetics and plan on Botox. ---

Closing at request of OP, and because there’s already the other thread.
