If you’re using anti-inflammatory eye care like our Eye Lift Serum, chances are you’ve seen what the powerful effects of comfrey and witch hazel can do to de-puff, but what about those days when you need a little extra help?
Our question to experts was “How can I take an eye care routine that already works for me, and amplify the results I’m seeing?” and they suggested these cheap and easy tips to help make your eye area look it’s best!
To de-puff even the most tired looking eyes, try these easy tips below!
Tea Bags
Using tea bags to reduce eye puffiness has been used for decades as a quick and easy hack to stunning eyes. Because of the caffeine in tea, it can de-puff but also assist in lightening those unsightly dark circles we all work so hard to avoid.
Since you likely already have tea bags at home, this is a great budget option! To apply, soak two tea bags in warm water, and then chill the bags for a few minutes in the refrigerator. Place one tea bag on each eye for five minutes, and poof! Puffy eyes are gone!
Spoons
Who would have thought this common kitchen utensil could be a superhero and de-puffing eyes?! Because of its cold temperature and it’s rounded shape, using cold spoons to de-puff your eyes is easy and only takes a moment or two and chances are, you’ve got plenty lying around your kitchen.
To use spoons to de-puff your eye area, chill them in the fridge for 5-10 minutes in the morning. After they are chilled, place the rounded portion on the eyes until the spoons turn warm. You’ll notice puffiness is reduced almost instantly from this easy trick.
Your Fridge
Let’s be clear, do not try to put your fridge on your face BUT we absolutely suggest putting your eye serum in there!
Turns out that just putting your Eye Lift Serum in the fridge for a few moments before applying it can help reduce puffiness even more than using it at room temperature.
Not only does keeping your eye serum cold helps it de-puff better but it will also keep your product fresher for longer. If you’re one of those people who take forever to finish a bottle of serum, you can be sure it won’t expire and ingredients won’t be compromised if stored in a cool place.
