5 DIY Beauty Treatments For Puffy Eyes – Home Remedies

Having puffy eyes is one of the most common problems in women as we age. With ever growing age, tissues and muscles around our eyes loosen strength. Natural fats and fluids get collected below our lower eye lid leaving them to look puffy. Lack of sleep can also be another major cause for puffy eyes. To reduce the puffiness in the eyes, one can try the beauty products in the market that claim to be fast acting or try DIY home made recipes.

5 DIY Beauty Treatments For Puffy Eyes

Cucumber

Cucumber and beauty treatments have come hand in hand for ages, that too to treat issues pertaining around the eyes. Just place a slice on each of your eyes and rest for about 30 minutes. You will feel relaxed and refreshed. For extra puffy eyes relief, use cool cucumber slices.

Potato 

Potato contains astringent properties which help in removing excess water from below the eyes. Place potato slices just like the way you used cucumber eyes on the eyes and rest for a while. It will help reduce dryness in the skin and dark circles too.

You may also grate a raw potato and squeeze about 2 spoonful of potato juice. Apply this juice and wash after 30 minutes.

Tea bags

Green or Black Tea contains caffeine which constricts blood vessels in the skin. It also contains tannins which help in better blood circulation.

Steep two tea bags in a mug of hot water. Remove and allow cooling. When the bags have cooled down enough, place them on your eyes and enjoy the benefits.

Rose water

Rose water contains vitamin C, vitamin A and flavonoids. It is an excellent astringent with anti-inflammatory properties, this helps in keeping eyes and skin around fresh. Saturate a cotton ball in pure rose water and dab it under the eyes. It will reduce the swelling and dark circles too.

Aloe vera

Aloe vera gel contains numerous amino acids and has high anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. It is a wonder product with super healing power. Along with reducing swollen puffy looking eyes, it also moisturizes the skin and prevents wrinkles around the eyes.

You can also prepare your own recipes by mixing and combining these natural ingredients to form a mask or massage gel/cream.
