HOW CAN WOMEN OVER 50 GET RID OF PUFFY UNDER EYES WITHOUT DEFLATING THEIR WALLETS?

Other than acne, puffy eyes have to be one of the biggest beauty pet peeves known to people — particularly women over age 50.

While anyone can be prone to puffiness, aging is a culprit because it causes tissues and muscles to weaken around the eye area and fat deposits can settle in and bulge out, causing that dreaded puffiness.

The good news is that there are a number of positive lifestyle shifts that can help decrease the puff without sending you to a plastic surgeon (getting botox or lasers can have their downsides).

Read on for some tested and true tricks that can naturally help perk up those peepers in no time.

Hold That Head Up High

Or at least let your pillow do it for you.

Experts recommend sleeping with your head elevated as this can help alleviate some of the fluid buildup beneath the eyes.

A high, ergonomic pillow can be one way to decrease the puffiness you see when you wake up in the morning.

Speaking Of Sleep…

Getting between seven and nine hours of sleep is essential for eyes to lose the puffiness and look more, well, easy on the eyes. It’s no beauty secret that a good night’s sleep allows the body to repair and rejuvenate itself.

Cool As A Cucumber

You’ve heard of the placing “cucumber on the eyes” beauty trick that probably goes back to the days of Cleopatra. Well it happens to be true.

Applying a cold compress or even a chilled spoon or frozen bag of vegetables can be just as effective.

Another Reason For That Morning Cup Of Joe

Did you know that caffeine constricts blood vessels, which can in turn, reduce puffiness? If coffee isn’t your cup of tea, you can use a caffeine-based eye cream instead.

Water It Down

Puffiness can be caused by excess salt in the body, which is why making sure to stay hydrated can flush out all that extra salt (especially from that bag of potato chips we might have had for dinner the other night), not to mention any other toxins.

Alcohol is also a culprit and a diuretic, which means it takes water out of the body. Another reason to make “happy hour” all about H20 (and the rest of the day, too).

We’re not saying to give alcohol the absolute heave-ho, but limiting intake is a good idea to reduce puffiness and boost overall health.

Move Your Body

There’s no way around it: regular exercise helps to improve circulation in the body, which in turn, can lessen any puffiness under the eyes.

Embrace The Idea Of A Massage

Getting into the habit of gently massaging the area around your eyes can help stimulate blood flow and reduce any puffiness.

PrimeSkin Beauty Water is an elixir that contains hyaluronic acid, which is known to not only promote blood circulation but also assist with cellular repair. Adding a couple of drops to your roller or gua sha allows the product to penetrate deeper into the delicate area beneath the eyes—and can yield even better results.

Some Final Words Of Wisdom

Remember that puffiness around the eyes can be caused by a host of factors—some of which are best discussed with a doctor or dermatologist. If the puffiness around your eyes is accompanied by redness, pain, or any other symptoms, please consult a medical professional.
