When you get up in the morning and look in the mirror, do you see puffy eyes? Bags under your eyes and cringe? What do you do? Do you use eye creams with caffeine in them?
Couple things I do that help and reduce my under eye puffiness and sometimes completely make them disappear.
First, sleep a little upright in bed, not on your side or back. Gravity will bring all the water to your eyes and cause the puffiness and also cause early fine lines and deep wrinkles. Just imagine sleeping with your face crunched against your pillow, what that is doing to you. When we are young, our skin pops right back up, but, as we age, our skin no longer bounces back like it used to. Go to bed tonight and sleep with a couple pillows under your neck and sleep on your back. Try it, you will get used to it.
Secondly, workout in the morning. If you don't have time for the gym get the blood pumping. Try 20 to 50 jumping jacks. Add some great jump squats. Do isometric holds for the legs in the squat position. Add, 10 to 30 push ups in sets of 10. Go for a good run and turn it into a sprint. Getting the blood pumping reduces under eye puffiness you will be shocked at how much. Doing both of these will help.
You can always use iced tea bags as well, but, I recommend the above first, not only will the puffiness help but you have a great workout and avoid fine lines. Have fun! XOXO Lily
