You wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and all you can see is a tired, puffy face staring back at you.

We have some great tips if you are prone to dark circles or puffiness under your eyes, things you can do that a quick and easy and they really work!
What causes puffiness under the eyes?
If you wake up in the morning all puffy under the eyes, this is usually caused by fluid retention and poor circulation.
While you sleep, you are not moving, and the lymphatic system becomes sluggish causing a buildup of fluid under the eyes. If you sleep on your tummy, this can make it worse, you can have all the fluid pooling to the face causing puffiness.
If you are dehydrated and you have not been drinking much water, that can cause fluid retention and puffiness including under the eyes.
Finally, in some cases, puffiness under the eyes can be hereditary or caused by seasonal allergies.
How to get rid of puffiness under the eyes fast
If your condition is hereditary, there are some simple things you can do to help improve the condition.
It is allergy related, talk to your doctor or pharmacist to get some advice on medicines that will help to reduce seasonal allergies.
Drink lots of water to help to flush out toxins and rebalance your salts to help reduce fluid retention and puffiness.
Pressure point lymphatic massage around the eyes is very helpful in moving the fluid away from under the eyes and reducing puffiness. We can teach you how to do the pressure point lymphatic drainage massage around the eyes next time you come in for a facial treatment.
You can also apply cool packs under the eyes to help move the fluid and reduce puffiness. Chilled chamomile tea bags, or sliced cucumbers do actually help. Place over the eyes, lie back and rest for 10 minutes allowing the puffiness to drain away.

Do you have permanent bags under the eyes?
If you have swollen bags under the eyes that just never go away, these can be due to ageing. As we age the skin becomes looser causing the skin to drop, making the bags under the eyes more prominent.
