Even though I sleep a lot, I still get circles under my eyes..and that my friend, is no good! So here are some suggestions I got from a nifty website
-Reducing your sodium intake and sleeping with your head elevated on a pillow can reduce morning eye puffiness.
-Two cool cuc/umber slices placed over your eyelids can constrict blood vessels because of their astringent properties. (and all that good scientific stuff)
-Two moistened caffeine tea bags will work the same way by reducing puffiness because caffeine constricts blood vessels and reduces swelling.
-A few egg whites, stiffly beaten, and applied with a brush to the face and under the eyes will make the skin feel tighter and look less puffy. Add a drop or two of witch hazel which also reduces swelling and will keep the egg whites from drying to rapidly.
-Rinse your face in cold water when you wake up or when puffy eyes attack anytime of the day to constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling. This a great energizer.
-Making sure you are drinking enough water will also reduce eye puffiness.
-Also, hair spray or a new eye makeup can also cause swelling in your eye area.
