Puffy eyes are usually caused by edema, which is the presence of excess fluid in the subcutaneous spaces around the eye. It accumulates usually when one is lying down during sleep and slowly disappears upon waking when the head is higher than the rest of the body. The rate and ease of reducing puffiness depends on how quickly the accumulated fluid is removed. The problem of eye area puffiness is often associated with a mild irritation.

A gel with cucumber extract helps reduce fluid retention and an anti-aging eye cream with vitamins A, C, and E will help combat this problem. The skin in the eye area does not produce moisture so we need to do so topically. Getting enough sleep is crucial, as well as learning to take care of yourself. Get on a program that includes cosmeceuticals (medical skincare) ASAP as they have more active ingredients and deliver results more quickly.

Ingredients with anti-inflammatory, decongesting and micro-stimulating properties should be used to treat puffiness.

Your professional nail technician can best diagnose the reason for your puffy cuticles and assist with treatment.

Dark color under the eyes is actually more often related to genetics - the dark discoloration is usually due to the veins and tissues underneath the skin of the eyelids.
