What Causes Puffy Eyes?

The skin around your eyes is thinner and more delicate than other areas of your face. If you’re dehydrated, behind on sleep or consuming too many salty foods, then your body will try to store as much water as possible, which can lead to excess fluid retention in the layers of skin and connective tissue around your eye area. This will result in a puffy-looking appearance, which can be made worse by rubbing.

Puffy eyes can also be caused by the natural ageing process as your skin gradually loses elasticity around the eye area, as well as genetics, sun damage, excessive crying and sleeping with contact lenses in. Allergic reactions are another factor. If you have hayfever or food allergies, your body will release a chemical called histamine during a reaction, which can cause inflammation and swelling around your eye area.

How To Reduce the look of Puffiness Under Eyes

Get Your Beauty Sleep

Darlings, first thing’s first. Getting enough sleep is absolutely ESSENTIAL to allow your skin plenty of time to repair and restore itself. Since puffy eyes can be caused by fluid retention, it can be helpful to sleep with your head slightly elevated on thicker pillows to prevent any fluid from building up overnight.

Eat Well

Maintaining a healthy diet with reduced salt and keeping an eye on your alcohol intake can also help to create a WELL-RESTED and YOUTHFUL appearance.
