Simple Steps for Puffy Eyes

Irritants such as too much alcohol or sodium, loss of sleep, allergies or a night spent crying can cause the eye area to puff up drastically. Why? Irritants like these cause excess fluid in the eye area to temporarily accumulate under the skin, which causes this puffed up look. No matter what the cause, puffiness of the eye area can be irritating and annoying to deal with. A few simple steps can help to treat eye area puffiness and give you your confidence back.

A puffy eye area should first be treated by consuming a few large glasses of water filled with Dr. Brandt Anti-Oxidant Water Booster /Lemon Green Tea to help increase blood circulation, as well as provide internal antioxidant benefits.

Secondly, when dealing with puffy eyes, one should apply cold compresses under the eye area, such as tea bags or a bag of frozen vegetables. Tea bags should be applied for 10-15 minutes while lying with your head propped up. If you have limited time I recommend keeping an eye cream such as Babor Sensational Eyes Cream in the fridge and applying as you normally would in your skin care regimen.

Lastly, to help de-puff one should increase blood flow by walking around or exercising. This will bring the retention down in the eye area and allow for a brighter, smoother eye area that’s ready for the day.
