Best Tips and Tricks to Get Rid Puffy Eyes

No one likes waking up with puffy, tired-looking eyes, however, we’ve all been there for one reason or another!  Luckily, bringing your eyes back to normal isn’t as difficult as you may think, but first let’s figure out what causes this problem in the first place

One of the main causes of puffy eyes is aging. The skin under your eyes is very thin, which augments any changes that may occur in your body.

Over time, the tissue in your eyelids may weaken, which causes fat in your upper eyelids to fall coming to rest in your lower eyelid. Fluid may also get trapped in your lower eyelid as you age. The thin skin around your eyelid can cause fluid retention to be very prominent, resulting in puffy eyes.

Puffiness usually appears more in the morning, but once you awaken and begin blinking, you may notice that your eyes start to look less puffy. Other reasons include:

  • genetics

  • fluid retention

  • allergies

  • too much sun

  • not enough sleep

  • unhealthy diet

  • crying

  • other health conditions

 

Here are some of the easiest & fastest tips to get rid of saggy puffy eyes that will give you an instant illusion of perkier eyes:

 

-          Ice cube, cold spoon, cold cloth, tea bags or fancy ice roller:
