Bad complexion, puffiness?

I would like your opinion on how I can make the complexion of my face better. By "better" I mean, evening out skin tones, reducing puffiness under the eyes.

Redness first. I have red cheeks but under my eyes the skin is white, so it has the "reverse racoon" look, or as if I wear sunglasses out and have a small sun rash under where the hypothetical sunglasses would be. I've had people ask me if I've "been wearing sunglasses when my face got burned" before. I'd like to make the skin tone of my face to be uniform. . . kind of like most people when I look at them.

The puffiness under the eyes. This puffiness causes there to be an overly noticeable line the goes from the inside corners of my eyes down to my upper cheeks, same direction as the line that goes from the corners of my nose down. Most people have that line, but as I look around, few have that line from the eyes, . . . at least as noticable as mine are. It is caused by puffiness and I've tried so many things.

What would you suggest?

I would look into products by Aveeno. I know they have a line for skin discolourations (you can check right on the site). I know a friend of mine uses it and loves it.

Re: Bad complexion, puffiness?

The redness sounds like you might have Roscea. The puffiness can be from lack of water in your diet. Not enough water keeps the toxins in your body and makes you swell. So use Vit K for the puffiness and drink water. As for the Roscea there are many things that trigger it... sun is one of the main things. Your diet can play a part in causing it to flare up too.
