Here are some ways to help reduce puffiness around your eyes:
1. Get enough sleep. Adults need around 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night.
2. Prop yourself up. Sleep with a few pillows under your head to avoid fluid settling around your eyes.
3. Address your allergies. Allergies can cause puffy eyes. Try an over-the-counter allergy medicine.
4. Drink more water. Staying well-hydrated can help prevent puffy eyes.
5. Limit sodium intake. High salt intake can lead to water retention, which can cause puffy eyes.
6. Use a cold compress. Applying something cold to your eyes can help reduce inflammation and swelling by reducing blood flow.
7. Use hemorrhoid cream. Some people pat over-the-counter creams designed for hemorrhoid treatment under their eyes.
