How to Get Rid Of Puffy Eyes

When it comes to skin care, we often neglect our eyes and more often than not we ignore the puffy eyes. If you have those dark swollen bags, then you must take care of them until your whole face loses the sheen.

 

Whether the puffy eyes are due to the extreme work pressure or any kind of mental stress you have or is it due to some changes in your hormones, in any case it is important to consult a general physician so that you can get relief from the severe eye problems. However, if you do not have any major eye problem and puffy eyes are due to some changes and are temporary, then it is better to get rid of puffy eyes right at your home.

Home Remedies
Often times, you might experience a little discomfort and pain due to puffy eyes. So, washing your face with cold water can give you a great relief. Most of the time puffy eyes are caused in summers due to high heat. Therefore, include cleaning in your skin care routine. You need to wash your face at least 3-4 times in a day to keep your face clear from any dirt. Often, the intake of lot of junk food also causes some skin problems and puffy eyes are one of them. Also you need to cut down on your salt intake, because in some cases, excessive salt may result in puffy eyes. Therefore, it is important to avoid those food items that are oily and contain too much of salt. It is equally important to clean up your body by consuming more water. You can lie down flat and close your eyes and let your eyes relax. Keep some cool cucumber on your eyelids the way you do during the spa facial. This is the perfect indulgence for eyes especially puffy eyes.

Watch What You Eat
You got to take a closer look at your diet. Eating lots of fruits such as strawberries and cranberries can help you get rid of swollen and puffy eyes. If you cannot consume lots of fruits, you can drink juice instead.

Sleep Well
Another important way is a good night’s sleep. An average adult needs to sleep for at least 7 hours a day. However, due to stringent deadlines and hectic lifestyles, it is difficult for many young professionals to get 7 hours of sleep, which causes puffy eyes.

Last but not the least, consult your doctor and ask for the eye cream that can help you get rid of puffy eyes. If the persistent eye puffiness is due to some kind of allergy, then you need to avoid using those products that trigger allergy.
