How To Prevent Puffy Eyes

What is the most common beauty problem?
Puffy Eyes!

Here are some helpful ideas and tips to help.

  • When applying eye cream gently tap your skin with your ring finger to encourage the excess fluid to drain away.
  • Store creams in the refrigerator, the coldness will help reduce puffiness.
  • Placing thin strips of potato underneath your eyes. The starch in the potato seems to tighten your skin.Make yourself some Chamomile Tea, then use the teabags (after they cool) and apply them directly to the eyes. Teas contain anti-irritants that soothe redness and inflammation.
  • Place a slice of cucumber over each eye then for about 15 minutes lie back and relax. The cucumber gently tones and soothes the skin around the eye
  • Fill a bowl with iced water or ice-cold milk. Soak two cotton pads and place them on the eyes when they become warm repeat the process. This should be done for about 15 minutes.
  • Be careful with this trick...some people have allergic reactions. Hemorrhoid cream can help shrink blood vessels around the eyes and temporarily decrease swelling and redness.
  • Grab an ice tray and fill with water or brewed tea. Add a few drops of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (hydrates the skin), Liquid Vitamin K (decreases dark circles), cucumber (soothes), and Lemon (lightens). Freeze then gently rub on the undereye area. Be careful not to get into the eyes.
