How to get rid of morning puffy eyes quickly

The skin around the eyes is rich in tiny blood vessels and very thin which make it extra sensitive. Read on to find out how you can revitalise tired and puffy eyes with natural eye care tips.
What causes puffy eyes?
Fluid retention in the tissues under the eyes is the most common cause of puffy eyes. This can result in swelling or puffiness and itchy, red eyes, especially first thing in the morning.
Puffy eyes can also be caused by changes in fluid balance, hormones, alcohol, weather or travel.
They can also be hereditary or a sign of an allergy or dermatitis - particularly if they are also itchy or red - or of sinus or thyroid problems. Check with a medical practitioner to rule these out.
Dry eyes could also indicate a lack of essential fatty acids.
Tired, puffy eyes need products which:
- firm and tighten
- protect and soothe
- nourish and increase collagen production
How to get rid of morning puffy eyes quickly
To get rid of puffy eyes in the morning quickly, wrap an ice cube in a paper towel and hold it over each eyelid for a few minutes to reduce the swelling.
How to reduce tired puffy eyes with your lifestyle
Drinking plenty of water, herbal teas and diluted juices helps to reduce eye puffiness. Make sure your bedroom is well ventilated as a hot environment will only add to your eye problem.
A basic touch therapy with gentle massage on both upper and lower eyelids will help push the excess fluids away and improve the appearance.
Always use a soothing alcohol-free cleanser and eye make-up remover especially designed for delicate skin.
Keeping your eye care products in the fridge can also help, as the cold helps to reduce puffiness.
Avoid
- Dryness around the eyes, as this can contribute to swelling and emphasise wrinkles
- Make-up residue, when left on overnight can cause irritation and puffiness
- Exposure to skin irritants such as alcohol, menthol, camphor or fragrance
- Unprotected sun exposure. Sun damage causes the skin to lose its elasticity, which in turn allows more fluid to accumulate
