Puffy eye relief?

[mollyjean]

I'm cursed with puffy undereyes in the morning. I drink plenty of water so I don't think it's hydration related.

Any suggestions for how to "de-puff" sooner than later? Tips or tricks?

Without buying a new product, I'd try a cold washcloth or the old cucumber slice trick.

If that doesn't work, you can also find a lot of eye gels that help reduce puffiness. I don't have specific suggestions there.

I picked up some Boscia De-Puffing Eye Balm (http://www.sephora.com/super-cool-de-puffing-eye-balm-P309105) at Sephora and I love it.

I get less puffy as the day goes on but this really helps in the morning. It's cooling too.

Wet tea bag. I just saw some tricks for this in my Natures Beauty book by Dawn Gallagher. I'll look it up when I go home and post the rest. She talked about using cucumbers, witch hazel, tea bags and a few other things.

Back with some more info:

Pure Rosewater: Soak two cotton pads in pure rose water and apply to eyes for a few minutes

Witch Hazel: cotton pads soaked in WH and leave on eyes for 10 minutes.

Tea Bags: place moist, warm tea bag on eyelid for a few minutes. Can also moisten chamomile tea bag and leave in fridge overnight. Use in the morning.

Potatoes: Slice and put on eyes

Cucumbers

Egg Whites: whip egg whites til stiff and a bit of WH. Apply under eyes for a few minutes then rinse.

Milk: cotton pads soaked in cold milk for 15 minutes.

Frozen spoons. I have not tried this myself. So, don't blame me if you get a spoon stuck to your eye all Christmas Story like.
