2) Choose a remedy. There are various remedies available. Not all of them will work, or even be appealing to you, but it's important that you try what you think applies to your situation. It might be most helpful to work through various remedies and combine or discard what does and does not work for you.
3) Get your beauty sleep. Get plenty of sleep nightly. It’s not entirely clear why inadequate sleep results in puffiness under the eyes, but lack of sleep tends to cause the skin to become paler (thus increasing the appearance of darkness under the eyes), and reduces circulation.[10] It’s also believed that too little time lying down is a cause in itself.
*Determine how much sleep you need (it’s usually 7-9 hours per night, but varies for different people at different times throughout their lives). Try to get that amount regularly for a couple of weeks to see if that helps.Alcohol and drugs can adversely affect the quality of your sleep; abstain from these products or use only in moderation for best results.Get adequate vitamins that assist sleep. A lack of sleep, coupled with poor vitamin absorption tends to reduce adrenal function. The less adrenal function you have the less B6 you tend to absorb, the less B6 you absorb, the less well your adrenal glands function and you end up in a vicious circle. Sleep, regular vitamins where lacking, and good calcium/magnesium support in the form of eating a lot of greens (which are higher in calcium and magnesium than dairy products), or good mineral supplement restores adrenal function.Reduce your stress to help you to sleep more.
4) Eat well. Eat a healthy, balanced diet, take vitamins, and drink plenty of water. A whole host of cosmetic problems can be attributed to vitamin deficiencies. Dark circles and puffiness are often attributed to lack of vitamin K or inadequate antioxidants. Also, a deficiency in B12 (usually anemia-related) can result in dark circles.
*Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables—especially cabbage, spinach, and other leafy green vegetables—and take a daily vitamin supplement if necessary. Get adequate fluids to improve circulation.Reduce salt intake. Excess salt causes the body to retain water in unusual places, and this can result in puffiness under the eyes. Too much salt can also impair your circulation, and cause the blood vessels under the skin to appear bluer.
5)Use cosmetic solutions. There are a number of ways to cover up puffiness under eyes using cosmetics. It's important to test the cosmetics for allergic reactions before using them if you haven't already done so: try a skin patch test first. Cease using anything that irritates your skin, causes rashes, or makes your eyes sore or watery.
*Apply an eye cream containing vitamin K and retinol. Puffiness may be caused by a deficiency of vitamin K. Regardless of the cause, however, skin creams containing these two ingredients reduce puffiness and discoloration significantly in many people. Long-term daily use seems to have the greatest effect. Use an under-eye cream. Use a concealer which will camouflage the darkness under your eyes. This type of makeup can help cancel out the under-eye circles. It's important to use a concealer that matches your under tone (namely, yellow, peach (for bluish circles), tan, light brown, etc.) After applying, set the concealer with a light dusting of translucent powder.Treat your skin while you sleep. There are overnight facial masques available that may help reduce the appearance of puffiness or discoloration, or you can make your own. And try this simple remedy: just before going to bed, take a piece of cloth and wet it a little with cold water. Squeeze out any excess water and place it over your eyes as you sleep.
6) Focus directly on the under-eye skin. Keep in mind that any direct contact with your under-eye skin must be gentle, as this is the most delicate skin on your body.
*Try to relax the space. Wet a cotton swab, then freeze it a short time. Then, gently wipe under your eyes in the areas where the circles are occurring. When wiping, close your eyes and try not to flinch.
*Avoid rubbing your eyes. Usually rubbing of the eyes is brought on by allergies, but not always, as it can also be an anxious habit, or a reflex action. Regardless of the reason, it's best to stop doing it because the rubbing irritates the skin and can break tiny capillaries beneath the skin, causing both puffiness and discoloration.
*Wear dark sunglasses to protect your skin from melanin changes.
7) Examine your smoking habit and decide to quit. Smoking causes vascular (blood vessel) problems that can not only threaten your life, but also make your blood vessels appear more prominent and bluer beneath the skin. Try to quit.
8) Relax more. Relaxing might help remove sources of stress and anxiety that are preventing you from sleeping, eating, and resting properly. In turn, relaxing enough will help your eye skin to improve as you feel less stressed and more at ease. Skin tends to reflect a whole host of emotional as well as physical ailments, so don't dismiss the need to relax lightly.
