How do I relieve Puffy Eyes?

Eye puffiness is a build-up of fluid in the tissues around your eyes. To reduce puffiness we recommend methods similar to those taken to reduce any kind of swelling. The following are "quick fixes" to temporarily encourage fluid to drain away from under your eyes.

• Soak a face cloth or similar in cold water, if possible add some ice.
• Squeeze out excess water then gently press over the entire eye area.
• Repeat as necessary.
• Some causes of puffy eyes are related to sleep deprivation and can be simply rectified by catching up on your Z's. If you have puffy eyes all day, take an early night.
• For a topical solution, we recommend Dermalogica Stress Positive Eye Lift 25ml (75 Uses), which visibly firms and smooths skin texture, minimises the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and reduces the appearance of puffiness around the eye area. You may also like the Dermalogica Awaken Peptide Eye Gel 15ml, which seeks to leave the under eyes feeling refreshed and nourished. It boasts a highly active blend with Tetrapeptides and soothing Rosemary Leaf Extract that minimises the appearance of puffiness and fine lines. Bioengineered Succinic Acid blend supports a more radiant appearance. Voandzeia Subterranea Seed Extract leaves skin smoother and more luminous.

Other Common Eye Concerns:

• The skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate, which means it is extra susceptible and more likely to be the first to show any signs of skin damage caused by environmental assaults. Combat visible lines around the eye area with Dermalogica Power Firm, a powerful firming complex of skin-rebuilding antioxidant vitamins from the AGE Smart range. Also recommended for aging skin around the eye area is AGE Smart® - Age Reversal Eye Complex 15ml, which, thanks to Micro-encapsulation technology, optimises Retinol potency and absorption, reverses multiple signs of skin aging around the delicate eye area and delivers potent age-fighting actives deep into the skin.
• To brighten the under eye area, check out Dermalogica Biolumin-C Eye Serum 15ml, which brightens the eye area with a boost of Vitamin C, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and exfoliates and hydrates for smooth, healthy-looking skin!

Smart Tip when applying Eye Cream

When applying any eye creams always work from the outer corner of the eye inwards. Using your ring finger starting at the outer corner of the eye gently pat along the cheek bone towards the inner eye socket, then continue along the brow bone back to the outer eye. Basic circular movement.
