Raccoon Eye Eraser: Submitted by: PantrySpa | Date Added: 24 Jun 2009
Listed in: Beauty Pantry / Enchanting Eyes What You Need:

- Potato
- Cheesecloth or Gauze

Instructions:

Potatoes are packed with a fabulous enzyme called catecholase, which is used by many high-end cosmetic companies to lighten skin and remove dark under eye circles. Why pay the hefty price tag when this simple home remedy will lighten up those dark under eye circles with the same enzyme... no more raccoon eyes for you!

1. Grate the potato (either by hand or in a food processor).
2. Place the shredded potato into cheesecloth or gauze to form a compress.
3. Place the compress over your eyes for 15-25 minutes.
4. Wash your eye area and apply an eye cream!

Pantry Spa Tip:
If you keep your potato in the fridge, then the grated potato will feel even more cool and relaxing.
