Goodbye Puffy Eyes and Dark Circles

Whether it’s a long, tiring day of work after little sleep or the normal signs of aging, eye puffiness and dark circles can put a damper on anyone's look. Women and men, there’s no need to pile on the anti-aging products or spend time feeling self-conscious. With these preventive measures, and a little help from éclatant botanicals, your puffy eyes and dark circles will be a thing of the past.

What Causes Puffy Eyes?

There are several causes of puffy eyes in women and men – some are preventable and some are not. Swelling around the eyes is caused by an excessive accumulation of fluids in the surrounding skin tissue. Since the skin around the eyes is very thin, swelling and discoloration can be quite distinct.

Some common causes of puffy eyes include:

Dehydration: Simple solution, drink more water! Over-consumption of caffeine or alcohol can leave you and your skin looking dehydrated and puffier than normal.

Aging: Not much prevention can be done with this one unfortunately. As you age your skin loses collagen and its elasticity, causing sag and the bags under your eyes.

Stress: When you’re stressed out your body releases cortisol which affects its salt balance and causes fluid retention, resulting in increased puffiness around the eyes and bloating.

Too Much Salt: Another way to throw off your salt balance is by consuming an overly salty diet. This can cause the same fluid retention and puffiness mentioned above.

Not Enough Sleep: A problem most of us face–sleep deprivation can lead to dark circles and puffy eyes.

Preventing Puffy Eyes

Some of the above cannot be prevented, but there are tips you can follow to help alleviate some of the puffiness and dark circles you may experience.

Stay Hydrated

We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again, hydration is key. Help keep your skin’s elasticity by drinking 6-8 glasses of water each day! Sugar, alcohol and caffeine are all working against your plan of hydration, so try to limit these if possible. Staying hydrated will decrease the likelihood of water retention that causes puffy eyes. 

Catch Some Z’s

Unfortunately, the only solution to tired-looking eyes is sleep. Try your hardest to get a full 6-8 hours of sleep each night. Your eyes put in a lot of work from staring at computer screens and cell phones all day, give them the rest they deserve at night.

Clean Diet

A clean diet can do wonders for your skin. With fruits and vegetables packed with vitamins and nutrients, your skin will be left healthy and hydrated. This can help reduce signs of aging and combat a salty diet.
