Raise your hand if you want to get rid of that tired-eyes look, heavy, hooded lids, and puffy eyes (C’mon, I can’t be the only one to get rid of those).
Now raise your hand if you want to do that without using any surgical products and treatments or having to see the doctor.
If you’ve been at it for a while trying to figure it out on your own, today is your lucky day.
In this article, we are not only going to give you tips on how to get rid of puffy eyes due to aging naturally but also reveal how influencers deal with this issue.
Excited? Let’s dive in, but first, let’s answer your most burning question:
If you’re in your fifties and wondering why there are so many signs of aging around your eyes, then here are the three biggest reasons for that tired and sullen look:
Weakening of tissues: the tissues and muscles around your eye weaken with time, making the under-eye skin bag a bit.
Less collagen production: as we age, the process of collagen production retards by 75% compared to the production in corresponding skin in the young.
Accumulation of fats and fluids: Fat and fluid in your eye area gradually shift towards the lower eyelid giving it a puffy and swollen look.
As we age, the outer surface of our skin (called the epidermis) gets thinner, making the skin more transparent. This means that anything you apply to the skin around the eyes absorbs and can impact the skin.
Therefore, as a thumb rule, use the least number of products on your under-eye area and ensure the quality of all the products you use.
I choose products that are "light-weight" which typically means they use natural ingredients, non-greasy formulas, light-reflecting qualities, and are non-irritating so I won't be rubbing the fragile skin in that area.

The first step to concealing tiredness and a puffy look is using eye cream to moisturize and nourish the skin. Do not mistake it with a regular face moisturizer.
The skin around the eyes is thinnest and needs special care.You’re right- using eye cream is not makeup. We are still preparing the base.
Pro tip: Choose an eye cream that contains retinol, a vitamin- a derivative that has been shown to stimulate collagen production.
I always wear eye cream, Day and night. Eye masks are a must when you are over 50 years old.

In the end, neutralize the dewy finish by dusting a little powder with a light hand.
It’s important to note that dryness enhances texture, but a dewy look can also increase puffiness and highlight creases.
You have to aim for the right balance of hydration and dryness.
I was a makeup artist so I’m pretty good at masking tiredness. I use serums on my face and specific eye serums every night and I dot concealer on my inner eye corners and along the dark line (not right up to the lashes. Then I use a brightener on the outer corner...

Fine lines and wrinkles are the first few signs of aging around the eyes.
It’s natural to squint and rub your eyes knowingly or unknowingly. This causes the formation of crow feet and wrinkles around your eyes.
Moreover, the fact that the area around your eyes has the least number of oil glands makes it more prone to dryness and droopiness.
Developing a healthy habit of moisturizing your skin can help you save the moisture on your skin.
Here’s what famous makeup artist Justina Le Sassier says about it:
For existing tiredness around the eyes, the gold standard would be under eye filler. For those not ready, hydration again.
