Under eye circles and puffiness - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

I've had this problem for about a year now... before it wasn't bad at all but recently i've had really dark circles(bags) under my eyes and they get really puffy in the morning when I wake up... I was wondering if something I could be doing is causing this...I've tried everything(sleep, creams, ice) Please give me any advice! It would be much appreciated!

I have the same problem. Allergies can cause the puffiness. If I take an over the counter allergy pill as soon as I get up, it's so much better.

Try drinking tons of water. The more you drink, the better. I force myself to get 6-8 glasses a day. It's not easy either lol..

You could try an old quick fix. Put two spoons in the refrigerator before you go to bed. When you wake up, put the backs of them on your eyes to decrease the puffiness.

Hope this helps!

I've heard that silver helps with swelling, I wonder if this would work for the eyes? If you have two silver spoons, try that. Or if you have something else that might work.
