Puffiness Under Your Eyes - How To Get Rid Of Them

You found out some causes of puffiness under the eyes in our previous article. Now you can learn 7 ways to relieve your puffy eyes.

When you experience puffy eyes in the morning it could be the result of something you did the previous day; you ate some salty food, had too much liquid before bed, were up all night, or even spent most of the day with your head bent in your garden.

When you rise from lying down, your body absorbs the fluid causing the puffiness so they usually fade within a few hours. On the other hand, if the puffiness is from an allergy or change in hormones you may not be lucky enough to see them gone so quickly. Aging can also cause permanent puffiness under the eyes.

Let’s review 7 ways to help you relieve the puffiness under your eyes.

1. Tap On It

Surprisingly, you can actually reduce the puffiness by tapping on it. How does this help? Because when you tap the puffy areas the fluid can continue moving.

2. Ice Cold Water

Dr. Haberman, a dermatologist, says that splashing ice cold water onto your face to help increase your circulation is very effective.

3. Use Tea Bags

Moisten two fresh tea bags in cold water. Now place the bags over your eyes, closed of course, for 15 minutes to get maximum results or leave them on as long as you like. The tea contains tannins, which help tighten skin and decrease swelling while the cool temperature and moistness help improve your circulation while decreasing swelling.

4. Take Care Of Your Allergies

If allergies are causing your puffiness then you will be able to see results with an antihistamine. An antihistamine can also help reduce itching and swelling but the toughest part can be finding the perfect one for you.

5. Use a Mask

You can buy a gel filled eye mask that work great for helping reduce swelling and also for getting rid of those dark under eye circles. Shortly after you get up in the mornings is the best time to use the mask but you can also try using teaspoons as well, they just aren’t always convenient.

6. Concealer Makeup

If your eyes are puffy on the top, try using a dark shade under your upper lid from the bottom side of your brow to the crease. Now apply a lighter shade on your lid all the way to the crease of your lashes. If your eyes are puffy underneath you can try a concealer that is a slightly darker shade than that of your foundation.

7. Raise Your Head

By putting blocks under your headboard your head will be more elevated which will help keep dry fluid from settling around your eyes which then causes puffiness. Try to raise it at least 6 inches.
