FOR DARK CIRCLES  
Grate a raw potato in a bowl, then use two cotton pads to soak up the juice, rich in the skin-lightening enzyme catecholase.Fold the pads in half, and place one under each eye; let pads rest there until completely dry.


FOR PUFFY EYES
Brew a cup of black tea with two tea bags, then chill the bags in the fridge. Apply the bags directly to your closed eyelids, press-ing slightly so that the antioxidant-packed tea penetrates your skin.


FOR FINE LINES
Blend equal amounts of castor seed, pumpkin seed, and fl axseed organic oils, plentiful in nourishing and hydrating essential fatty acids. Each morning and night, dab a few drops around your eyes, avoid-ing the area near the lash line and making sure oil is absorbed.


COMBINE PROTEIN WITH CARBS 
“People eat 2 cups of cereal out of the box, and a half-hour later they’re starving again,” says Tara Gidus, RD. “Even if you just add soymilk, it really helps.”


CHEW YOUR FOOD
“I try to eat slowly and deliberately,” says Myra Kornfeld. “That act alone will get me in touch with my body enough to keep me from overeating.


JOURNAL EVERY MORSEL
“If you’re standing in front of the fridge with a spoon,” says Reed Mangels, PhD, RD, “you’ll be less likely to use it if you know you have to write down everything you put in your mouth with it.”
