The delicate skin around your eyes is one of the first areas to show the signs of ageing—but did you know you can take action long before those fine lines appear? Prevention is key, and the sooner you start caring for this delicate area, the better!

Let’s dive into how you can restore a youthful, lifted look and keep your eyes looking radiant for years to come.

If you look at the delicate eye area, it is easy to understand why you often struggle with puffiness. Puffiness or bags under the eyes can make us look tired, even when we’re well-rested. While occasional puffiness is normal, persistent under-eye bags may need targeted care. 

Several factors contribute to under-eye puffiness, including:

 

1. Fluid Retention – Caused by high salt intake, dehydration, or sleeping in certain positions.

 2. Lack of Sleep – Poor sleep can lead to poor circulation, causing swelling.

3. Allergies & Irritation – Reactions to pollen, dust, or skincare products can lead to inflammation.

 4. Ageing & Genetics – Over time, collagen loss and weakened skin support can make puffiness more noticeable.

5. Lack of Lymphatic Drainage and circulation – the lymphatic system is very sensitive to hormonal changes, new medication, or stress

6. Weakened muscle support of the eyelids - weakened tissue around the eyes can lead to a hooded eye. 

7. Fat distribution changes - the fat that helps support the eyes can move into the lower eyelids, making them appear puffy

 

How to Reduce Puffiness?

Stay Hydrated – Drink plenty of water to prevent fluid retention.

Sleep Smart – Elevate your head while sleeping to avoid fluid pooling.

Cold Compress – Apply chilled spoons, cucumber slices, or an ice roller to reduce swelling.

Use Targeted Skincare – Look for eye creams and serums with de-puffing ingredients.

*Upon waking - bat your eyes quickly, to get some circulation going

*Use a facial roller, to aid in lymphatic drainage

*Don't apply your eye treatment or creams onto the top lid, this may make the lid heavy, leading to more puffiness

Avoid alcohol, spicy foods and caffeine late at night

Can ingredients in eye treatments make a difference? Simply put, yes!

 

  •  Caffeine – Stimulates circulation and helps tighten the skin, reducing puffiness.
  •  Peptides – Support collagen production, improving skin firmness.
  • Hyaluronic Acid – Hydrates and plumps the skin, minimizing the appearance of bags.
  • Vitamin C – Brightens and protects against oxidative stress.
  •  Niacinamide – Reduces inflammation and strengthens the skin barrier.
  •  Green Tea Extract – Rich in antioxidants, it soothes and refreshes tired eyes.

Apart from using the correct eye treatment, you can also explore other alternatives for a more holistic approach. 

At-home under-eye bag treatments:

Cold therapies: This involves using chilled or frozen tools, eye masks, and devices to temporarily constrict blood vessels and deflate puffiness fast

Skincare routine: Always removing makeup and washing your face can prevent skin irritation and eye puffiness

Lifestyle changes: Reducing sodium intake can curb fluid retention in your skin, as can getting more sleep, reducing major life stressors, etc.

Targeted eye creams: Caffeine-based formulas to temporarily constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling

 

Professional under-eye bag treatments:

Medications: These can include antihistamines for allergies, or diuretics for fluid retention

Surgery, like lower blepharoplasty: In this procedure, excess fat and tissue are removed from under the eyes for a permanently smooth result

Under-eye filler: This adds volume strategically to help blend your under-eye fat pads with your cheeks

Laser treatments: These resurface skin to help tighten, smooth, and brighten skin, depending on the type of laser used

Microneedling: This creates a controlled injury in skin, which promotes collagen production to help firm skin and fade hyperpigmentation—which can offset the look of bags and dark circles

Why is caffeine as an ingredient so effective on puffiness?

Caffeine is proven to reduce puffiness as it helps to constrict blood vessels, reducing swelling and fluid retention while it boosts circulation to minimise dark circles and dullness. 

It also tightens and firms, making the under-eye area look and feel smoother. 

 

Puffiness under the eyes can be frustrating, but with the right habits and targeted skincare, you can keep your eyes looking refreshed and youthful. Invest in a high-quality eye cream with de-puffing ingredients and make small lifestyle changes for long-term results.
