Another Use for Baking Soda

Thank you Arm and Hammer! I've always had a hard time finding a convenient remedy around the house for puffy eyes. But I think I've found it! I'm not one to go out and buy something I won't use for anything else, like Preparation H -- people like supermodels swear by it. And cold compresses (even ice!) don't seem to do it for me. This morning I took matters into my own hands and mixed some baking soda with water, spread it on the affected area. Waited 15 minutes (while I ate my breakfast). I noticed something when I wiped it off. Then after being a work for an hour or 2, I could not even tell that my eyes had been puffy at all. I used the old theory that you can suck out bee venom with it, why not some puffiness around the eyes? Try it sometime and let me know how it goes.
