5 Easy Tips To Reduce Puffiness Under Eyes

Our eyes are the first thing people notice about us and are key to creating a positive first impression when meeting someone. Unfortunately for many women, dark circles, puffiness and wrinkles around the eyes have become an incredibly frustrating daily problem. No one enjoys looking older than their age.

Usually this unpleasant condition is the result of a lack of sleep, working too hard or too much stress. Wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes are also part of the normal aging process. “Today’s women are juggling huge expectations between being a great mother, a productive career woman or in many cases both,” says Erin Keyan founder of goPURE, an all natural skin care line. ”The area around and under our eyes is especially sensitive to physical and mental stress and requires extra attention.” The good news is, there are a number of things a woman can do to help to reduce these issues: 1. Reach for the fridge. The astringent properties and enzymes in cucumbers can help to reduce the amount of inflammation under the eyes, while tightening skin. Using cucumbers also helps to reduce dark circles create a more “refreshed” look. Here’s how to do it:

• Cut the cucumber into thicker slices. • Put the slices in the refrigerator for approximately 10 minutes. • Put the cold slices on your eyes for approximately 10 minutes or until they are no longer cold. • You can repeat this process several times each day.

  2. Caffeinated black tea contains natural tannins and is considered a mild diuretic. Tea bags have long been used by both runway models and grandmothers for reducing puffiness of the eyes. You can benefit by this method by soaking two tea bags in warm or hot water for a few minutes and then chilling them in the refrigerator. Once chilled, place one of the tea bags over each eye for about five minutes. 3 . One of the best ways to reduce puffy eyes is to drink plenty of water.
