Bananas Quit monkeying around with eye cream and grab a few bananas instead (sorry, we couldn't resist). Rich in potassium, a mineral that helps cells retain moisture, bananas may help hydrate the thin skin around your eyes, notes Wolfer. Blend up a quarter of a banana with a quarter of a peeled cucumber and a tablespoon of raw honey, then refrigerate for 30 minutes. Apply a thin layer of the cooled mixture under your eyes for 15 minutes before rinsing; the potassium in the bananas, along with the hydrating honey and cucumber, make this mega-moisturizing and a great way to plump away fine lines around your peepers, fast.
