Last week I covered the issue of dark undereye circles in my blog so I thought it was a good idea to now address puffy eyes.
Puffy eyes are caused by a build-up of lymph under the eyes (or poor lymph flow in the same area), alcohol, salty foods, allergies, crying, and aging.
If your puffy eyes are caused by poor lymph flow or a build up of lymph giving yourself a gentle massage in that area should help the problem. As you apply your eye cream (or any cream under the eyes) gently move your fingers from the outer corner of your eye to the inner corner. Also exercise can help decrease puffy eyes. If you continually wake-up in the morning with puffy eyes, fluid build-up is probably to blame. Sleep with an extra pillow under your head in order to prevent fluid build-up.
Look for eye cream products with chamomile, cucumber, or caffeine in them. Cucumber and chamomile are anti-inflammatory, and caffeine constricts blood vessels and drains fluid. Putting wet chamomile tea bags or cold slices of cucumber on your eyes should help reduce puffiness.
