• Answer:

  Puffiness under the eyes may be caused by lack of sleep, water retention, allergic reactions or due to the natural process of ageing. Water retention is sometimes caused by getting too much salt through your diet. You can try cutting down on your salt intake and use a natural diuretic like papaya . Here are some natural remedies for puffy eyes Place potato slices, cucumber slices or cotton wool soaked in potato/cucumber juice over your eyes and leave them on for about 15 minutes. Splash your face with cold water first thing in the morning Avoid using anti ageing or anti wrinkle creams around the eyes. Do not apply rich moisturizers in the eye region at night Switch to gel based make up and creams You can use wet tea bags on your eyes. The tannin in the tea helps reduce puffiness. Elevate the head of your bed . Other little things you can do include using an extra pillow so you don’t sleep flat on your back. The extra pillow will help you keep the bodily fluids from accumulating in the under-eye area which in return forms eye bags. If you have allergies, see your doctor. Sometimes just controlling the allergies will reduce the appearance of under-eye bags and dark circles. If you have made lifestyle changes and adopted better eating habits and began eliminating the causes of eye bags and still have them, you may want to schedule an appointment with your doctor.
