Puffy Eyes

Do not be tempted to deal with the problem by slapping on heavy oils and moisturizers because they are more often than not too heavy for the skin in the eye area. They can also obstruct tear ducts, causing puffiness.

This is one of the most common beauty problems. These ideas can help:

• Gently tap the skin with your ring finger when you are applying eye cream to encourage the excess fluid to drain away.
• Store creams in the refrigerator, as the coldness will also help decrease puffiness.
• Place thin strips of potato underneath the eyes to decrease swelling. The starch in the potato seems to tighten the skin.
• Fill a small bowl with iced water or ice-cold milk. Soak two cotton pads and lie down with the pads over your eyes. Change the pads as soon as they become warm. Continue for 15 minutes. This treatment reduces puffiness and brightens the whites of the eyes.

Take good care of the eyes because they are one of the most important senses in our body system. As they say, the eyes are the mirror of our heart.
