Tips To Eliminate Puffy Eyes
Today we are going to talk about something that’s a COMPLETE giveaway of your age and… maybe even ADD 10 years to your real age.
Can you guess?
It’s PUFFY EYES!
Many things, including, water retention, can cause the skin around the eye area to swell and get puffy.
But don’t worry now! In just a second, I am going to tell you about some no-brainer home techniques you can use to address this problem and look years younger.
1.] Lack of sleep is probably not as big a factor for puffy eyes as it is for bloodshot eyes. If anything, sitting up instead of lying down would prevent fluids from collecting in the tissues around the eye. Of course, no one should sit up day and night! Sleeping with your head slightly elevated, and making sure, you give your neck the support it needs, can help prevent fluid retention.
2.] Drink Gatorade, or sports drinks which help deflate puffs.
3.] Keep two spoons in the freezer. Lie down with the bowl of a spoon over each eye for five minutes in the morning.
4.] Dip a washcloth in a bowl of cool, caffeinated coffee. Apply to the area and leave on for ten minutes. Caffeine is a diuretic, which means that it draws water away.
5.] Sit down, lean forward, and hold your face in your hands for a couple of minutes; the pressure will help you depuff.
6.] Alcohol consumption and a diet high in salt also can cause water retention and increase the puffiness around the eyes. Cut back on both.
7.] Another factor to consider is contact lenses, which can cause irritation and swelling of the eye, so be sure (if you do wear contacts) you are wearing the most comfortable type available for your vision correction.
8.] As with bloodshot eyes, exposure to smoke, rubbing the eyes, allergies, dry air (from heat or air-conditioning). Allergic reactions to skin-care products, bad pollution days, and using irritating skin-care products around the eyes can all make the eye area swollen.
9.] Don’t rub your eyes during the day, and take an antihistamine if you have allergies.
10.] Preventing dryness around the eyes can also help reduce irritation and swelling that can cause a puffy appearance. Life Cell is a very good moisturizer. Use it.
11.] Use LifeCell because it has anti- inflammatory ingredients and anti-oxidants… that help reduce sub clinical inflammation (one of the big causes of puffy eyes).
12.] If you have time in the morning, place cool compresses on the eyes (low temperatures can make the skin contract); if you don’t have time for that, leave LifeCell in the refrigerator so it’s cool when you apply it in the morning.
13.] Apply LifeCell in the night before going to bed and in the morning before going to work.
14.] You don’t have to do everything I’ve suggested… however the more you do the faster you’ll address puffy eyes.
At the very least do this:
a) Avoid alcohol.
b) Cut back if you are on a high salt diet.
c) Cut back on red meat.
d) Eat plenty of anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant rich food like salmon and berries.
e) Most importantly, Put LifeCell in the refrigerator and apply it in the night before bed and in the morning.
