Puffy eyelids

7 replies

I wake in the morning with increasingly puffy eyelids making me look completely bug eyed! I use wipes to remove my eye make up at night. Haven't changed any make up brand or anything. Are there any miracle creams I can use to reduce the puffiness? Also wonder about dehydration?

could be too much salt, or sleeping in a dry room too - depends on your budget, I reviewed an eye gel which did actually reduce bags, though not remove them completely, but it's about £50 I think.
No miracle cream solution unfortunately, the only way is to be ultra healthy, eat no crap, drink lots of water, sleep, etc!

Is it possible that the moisturiser you are using is a bit too heavy? I used to always have puffy eyes in the morning, but since changing from a rich Origins moisturiser to Clinique superdefense my eyes are not puffy at all! I never even put moisturiser near my eyes and they still managed to suck it up and go puffy - eye skin is just really sensitive.

I've had to change from wipes after they were giving me little dry patches in the corners of my eyes, but just put it down to being a bit sensitive to that brand, so it might have something to do with the wipes maybe? One trick I always did (thanks Mum!) was put cold teaspoons on my eyes before bed - just had a google check and seems I'm not alone on this one, Thank god! www.totallyliving.co.uk/beauty/2011/10/27/uk-s-most-weird-and-wacky-beauty-secrets-revealed Might steal that socks soaked in moisturiser trick too! :)

I had this. They seem much better now I have started to use Boots No7 protect and perfect eye cream. I think they are doing £5 off vouchers at the moment.

Thanks for the replies everyone. I will stop using current wipes straight away I think. The cold teaspoon sounds like a great idea, I was already thinking of the good d cucumber slices over the eyes to cool an reduce puff! Also I will try the No 7 eye cream as I like that range too.
