Eliminate Puffy Eyes Inexpensively
There are a few ways to get rid of them, so a more beautiful you can shine through! Most people also tend to get puffiness around allergy season. That's no fun at all!
The skin under your eyes is thinner than anywhere else on your entire body. It has fewer oil glands than the rest of your facial skin so its prone to dryness. Fat pads surround your eyes. The muscles that encase upper and lower eyelids hold the fat (and skin) in place. Fluids that get trapped in eye tissue and excess fat both contribute to puffiness. Your body is way smart and you must be too! Your body actually holds onto water if you aren’t getting enough. When you don't get enough water, your body will hold the water it does have in reserve because it thinks its not getting more. Sometimes your eyes are the first place it shows up. There are several ways to get rid of puffiness. Over night creams work well some nights but not others. For those occasions when puffiness just won’t go away, try these inexpensive methods. Puffy Eyes Relief1) Soak caffeinated tea bags in water. Squeeze out excess water and apply one bag to each eye for 15 minutes. The caffeine and tannins in the tea help draw out excess moisture and contract your skin. 2) Get 8 – 10 hours of sleep a night. No less and no more. Too much or not enough sleep actually makes puffiness worse. 3) Stay away from salt. Salt attracts water. If you consume too much salt, your body will actually store excess water under your eyes.
Clay masks 6) Apply a hemorrhoid cream. Hemorrhoid creams 7) Don’t ever tug or pull on the skin surrounding the eyes. The skin under your eyes is very delicate and so great care must be taken when applying lotions and creams. Use only your fingertips to apply them. When you apply facial lotions It is also very easy to subconsciously rub your eyes when you have allergies or excessive stress. You must make a conscious effort not to do this often. Treat the skin under your eyes delicately and you will see much less puffiness. 8) If you drink lots of water and still have puffy eyes, try a diruetic. These can be purchased OTC at any super store and they won’t cost you a lot to try. Many people have used diruetics 9) Exercise should be in your schedule. Try incorporating some exercise into your daily routine. Exercise helps rid excess water in your body through the sweat glands. 10) Stay upright. If you want to decrease puffiness, then don’t lay down. Sit up or stand up and fluids will likely drain and that will help diminish your bloating. If you still can’t get rid of puffy eyes it may be genetic. Genetics play a large part in how you age. There is not much you can do about heredity. 11) Facial massage. Lymph runs through your entire body and you have a lot of lymph glands on your face and neck. If it's not properly circulating, you can get puffy eyes. Do daily facial massage and do regular body brushing. Both will help increase lymph circulation and that helps decrease puffiness. 12) Try an antihistamine and decongestant Antihistamines 13) Chilling can reduce swelling. Sit for several minutes with chilled cucumber slices, tea bags, cotton balls dipped in cold water, or a gel eye mask 14) Try skin care products.
