QuestionIam 38 yrs old and within the last year or so, I've noticed that I have puffiness under my eyes/fatty pockets/bags.I am wondering if there is a cream,etc that u would recommend that would help tighten that area well and also not super pricey.
AnswerHi Pam,
Your problem of puffiness and bags is one that many woman and men suffer from. There are many factors such as allergies,diet,and aging that is part to blame for puffiness and bags under the eyes. There are many ways that you can keep the puffiness down by doing a few simple tricks.
* Determine if you have allergies, if you do take an antihistamine this will keep your eyes from being itchy/watery which leads to puffiness.
* Limit your water intake before you go to sleep.
* Do not eat salty food late at night.
In the morning if you wake up puffy, you can splash cold water all over your face and it will help relieve the puffiness. You can also take tea tea bags steeped in cold water, squeeze excess water and put tea bags on your eyes this will also relieve your eyes. Cucumbers cooled and sliced and placed over your eyes also helps as well.
As far as an eye cream you need to be careful, because a lot of the creams have ingredients that puff up the skin so it diminishes the lines/wrinkles. So with that being said I like Origins brand "No puffery" $20.00 and Aveda Tourmaline Charged Eye Creme $30.00. Both products I recommended stop puffiness and will still give you the benefits of protecting the eye area.
If you have questions with any of this information, please let me know, I would be happy to help you.
