HOW TO REDUCE PUFFY EYES

Everyone gets puffy eyes from time to time, but why do we get them and how can you get rid of them? I will tell you more about this here.

How long do puffy eyes last for?

Usually it's only temporary, but they could last for weeks or longer.

What causes puffy eyes?

* Dehydration from not drinking enough water or from a hangover
* If you are taking certain medications this can be a side effect
* Some unfortunate people have puffy eyes in their genes
* Allergies that have made your eyes itch, red or irritable
* Being Ill, inflammation and fatigue
* Hormone levels that retain body fluids around the skin under your eyes.

How to help prevent puffy eyes

* Get plenty of sleeps (At least 8 hours)
* Don't use excessive irritants/creams
* Drink plenty of water
* Avoid artificial sweeteners, as they make your body retain more fluid
* Apply some hemorrhoid cream under the eyes
* Protect your eyes from sun and excessive windy conditions by wearing shades
* Apply a cold compress to your eyes like an eye pack or some cucumber slices
* Soak a cloth or some eye pads in cold milk, and hold on your eye for 10 minutes
