Have you been up all night binge-watching your favourite series?<\/p>\n
Have you been crying all night because he broke your heart?<\/p>\n
Are your allergies acting up?<\/p>\n
If your answer is yes to any of the questions, then you\u2019re probably sitting with unsightly bags under your eyes.<\/p>\n
Puffy eyes don\u2019t go away immediately and while concealer can work wonders on dark circles, no amount of concealer can cover up puffy eyes!<\/p>\n
However, there are a few tricks, besides the good old cucumber slices on the eye trick, that you can try to speed up the de-puffing.<\/p>\n
Tea bags<\/strong>: don\u2019t throw away your used tea bags. Especially green tea. The antioxidants and caffeine in the tea help tighten the skin. Moisten them in a bowl of ice water. Then place them over your eyes for 20 minutes.<\/p>\n Ice water<\/strong>: a few splashes of ice-cold water on your face is a sure way to wake you up. Splashing your face with cold water (as cold as you can tolerate) is a quick and easy way to reduce swelling. <\/p>\n Or you can end your shower routine with a quick burst of cold water. If you have more time, soak a cloth in ice water and place it over your eyes for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n Spoons<\/strong>: if you are prone to waking up with puffy eyes or you get home after a long night of partying and drinks, then place two spoons in the fridge before you go to bed. The next morning place the spoons over your eyes.<\/p>\n Massaging: gently massage around the eye area to increase circulation in the area. Don\u2019t rub too hard, because it is a very sensitive area.<\/p>\n
