Puffy Eyelids! - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

I have allergies and wake up with puffy eyelids in the fall and winter months. I walk around like that all day and am getting sick of it. Does anyone know of anything that will "depuff" them? I heard preparation H works. Is that true?

cucumber slices (cold)

I just bought some No Puffery from Origins today. I had heard it was good for puffiness. It feels great! And very cooling too. The instructions say to put it on and leave for 5 minutes and then tissue off. But the saleslady told me that I could leave it on if I wanted. She said she does.

Try wetting teabags and resting them on your eyes for like 10 minutes. I've never done it but I hear it works pretty well.

I know how you feel, except my puffiness is in the spring and summer. The only thing that consistently works for me are cold packs. I bought a cheap eye mask from the drug store and keep it in the freezer to put over my eyes in the morning...or sometimes I just take a few icecubes and put them in a ziploc bag. The colder against my skin, the better (just remember to be careful of getting "burned" by the cold!). I've tried cucumber slices and they didn't do much...I remember trying cold tea bags once too and I think they worked better than the cucumbers if I remember correctly!

I wouldn't risk putting something like Preparation H around your eyes!
