undereye wrinkles and puffiness

i'm only 21 but have skin that "freckles" easily and i've noticed wrinkles under my eyes.
Also, when I wake up in the morning, my under-eyes are extremely puffy for about an hour... is there a product that you can recommend to take away the puffiness and decrease the wrinkles?
Thank you!

Re: undereye wrinkles and puffiness

Some say Preperation H will help under eye puffiness as the active ingredient reduces swelling. Yes, on your butt not your eyes as the skin differs in the two areas. You want to know what works better than anything in this world? I will share my secrets. Upon waking up, go to the refigerator and get two coke cans. Bring them in your room, lye down on your bed holding the coke cans over your eyes. Cold will bring the swelling down better than anything. That is why hospitals use ice not preperation H on a persons body where swelling is to be reduced. Try it. Not only will the cold reduce the swelling, but will wake you up too!

You can try other things like freezing large spoons. Then rest the back of the frozen spoon on your eyes. This will save time too as you already have the spoon in your hand for your breadfast cereal. lol

You may try tea bags for the puffiness. Soak two tea bags (e.g. Lipton) in warm water, then squeeze out the water and put them over your eyes for 15-20 minutes. For the lines, use an eye cream. Nivea CoQ10 is a good one.

Re: undereye wrinkles and puffiness

I also wondered what the deal is with cucumber slices and why people use those, antioxidants maybe? I don't know.. but for wrinkles i always try to wear sunglasses outside to avoid getting the lines and that's really the biggest fight against wrinkles! That and good sleep.
