Puffy Eyes: Tips And Suggestions

By:




Puffy eyes are one of the most frequently asked how-to-cure skincare related questions. They may be caused by a variety of factors like hereditary, lack of sleep, not enough water, stress, age, lack of certain vitamins and minerals in the diet, overloading on alcohol, etc. However, there are natural ways you can dramatically reduce, if not eliminate them. The important aspect to remember is that most skincare problems are internal problems relating to the diet. There is no specific food that causes a skin problem in itself, but it may be certain ingredients in certain foods that cause the skin to erupt.

Under eye creams, anti aging in nature, are another great solution for puffy eyes. An aloe-based eye soothing gel or cream helps to cool and refresh the eye area while constricting the puffiness. We recommend using Baxter Under Eye Complex for men. This enriched cream is specially formulated for men; it firms, nourishes, and protects the sensitive skin around the eyes, while the Aloe Vera combats puffiness, soothes, and hydrates the eye area, leaving your eyes looking bright and healthy. Apply the cream working from the bridge of the nose towards your ears and apply a little pressure. This will help to move the fluid and improve the appearance of your eyes further.

To decrease the appearance of puffy eyes use a thinly sliced cold cucumber or a slice of raw potato and place a slice on each eye. Use any cold compress on your eyes for a few minutes, but do not place ice cubes directly on your skin. Cotton wool pads soaked in witch hazel (which reduces swelling) or iced water should also do the trick.

Avoiding late nights and reducing salt intake are some of the lifestyle habits that can prevent puffy eyes. There are many home remedies used by individuals to reduce Puffy eyes. Cold water splashing, tea bags, sliced cucumber and Aloe-Vera-based gels all have their proponents. Sleeping with the head elevated may drain the fluid from the eyes. But if the condition is severe a doctor advice should be sought, to rule out any serious problems, such as kidney or thyroid problems.

Mix some finely chopped parsley with a little sour cream and place the mixture in cheesecloth. Apply to the puffy area for 10-15 minutes at a time. These treatments can produce visible improvements if repeated 2-3 times a week. One final tip to avoid puffy eyes in the first place is to ensure that you get plenty of sleep at regular intervals. Try drinking a glass of mineral water no more that one hour before you go to bed (to keep you hydrated whilst asleep) and try to sleep with your head slightly elevated - this will help prevent fluids from settling around your eyes.

If puffy eye syndrome is more than an occasional occurrence, maybe your body is trying to tell you something. The body retains water when there is precious little available in your system. Increasing your water intake will give the body ample fluid for cellular function and it will not need to store extra water. Drinking lots of water will keep the incidence of puffy eyes to a minimum.
