Puffy Eyes

They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. But what if your "windows" aren't as nice? Puffy eyes and wrinkles can make you look older and it's definitely not very attractive. Below are some antiaging tips to keep your eyes looking beautiful.

➣ Stress can cause your eyes to be puffy. Try to relax and use stress reducing techniques to minimize tension.

➣ Both wrinkles and puffiness can be intensified by dehydration. So drink enough water. Many people don't get the amount that they need throughout the day. But drinking water is a must for beautiful eyes.

➣ Avoid salty foods. Salt increases water retention which can cause puffiness.

➣ Use a quality eye cream with Vitamin C and Vitamin E. The right eye wrinkle cream can decrease wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles. Be sure to tap the cream lightly around the eye with your ring finger. Don't pull on the delicate skin around your eyes or it can cause more problems. Check out this website for an eye cream with both of these vitamins as well as a natural lightener.

➣ Get enough sleep. Many of us don't get enough and lack of sleep can detract from our appearance.

➣ Still having problems? Try closing your eyes and using one of these cooling compresses on your eyes for a few minutes.

• slices of cucumber
• tea bags dipped in cold water and chilled in the refrigerator
• cotton balls or rounds dipped in cold water or milk

If your puffy eyes are caused by sinus problems, allergies or other medical conditions, see your doctor.

Don't let wrinkles or puffiness ruin your beautiful eyes. Try these antiaging tips and "see" if they don't make a difference.
