5 Quick Fixes to Combat Puffy Eyes
Puffy, tired eyes have gotten to the best of us. What’s worse is that even if you are well-slept and you avoid junk, processed food (high in salt content), you can still get those pesky bloated under eyes, thanks to your genetic makeup. So if you are getting your fix of beauty sleep and still can’t fight them off, here are 5 quick fixes to combat puffy eyes:
The Tea Bag Trick
Place two chilled tea bags (green or black, your pick) on your eyes and allow the caffeine and anti-oxidants from the tea to soothe redness and tighten the under eye area.

The Big Guns
If all else fails, bring out the big guns: Eye creams that penetrate under the skin and work from inside out to rejuvenate and refresh your eye.
