How To Fix Puffy Eyes? 7 Common Causes Of Puffy Eyes…!

How To Fix Puffy Eyes? 7 Common Causes Of Puffy Eyes…!

We’ve all experienced getting a slight shock when you check your face in the mirror and find your eyes are looking swollen or puffier than usual. However, puffy eyes are extremely common and can be caused by a variety of different things – from environmental factors to underlying health problems.

Your eyes are extremely sensitive and so is the skin surrounding them, so it’s important to identify the cause of your puffy eyes so you can address the problem quickly and efficiently.

Here are 7 common causes of puffy eyes that you may not have considered:

1) Using a Heater

Turning the central heating up in winter can make eyes dryer and more sensitive than usual, as heat causes dehydration of mucus membranes in the eyes, causing it to thicken and become more inflamed.

2) Bad Sleep

A bad night’s sleep can lead to puffiness around the eye area in the morning – especially if you’re stressed. Stress causes changes to the salt balance in the body and if salt balances are off, your eyes can retain water as a result and swell.

3) Allergies

Seasonal allergies can cause swelling of the eye area. When your body is faced with an allergy it releases histamine into your system which can sometimes lead to inflammation of the eye area.

4) Certain Times In Your Menstrual Cycle

Just like the rest of your body bloats and swells during certain times of the month, your eyes can actually do the same. They should go down after a few days, and if they don’t, it may be another cause.

5) Bad Diet

Too much salt in your diet can cause your eyes to puff, as excess sodium levels can lead to bloating and fluid retention. If you think too much salt may be the cause of your swollen eyes, simply cut back on foods that contribute to fluid retention, such as pre-packed, frozen and canned foods as sodium is often added as a preservative to these foods.

6) Hangover

Your eyes are extremely vulnerable to even small changes in your diet, so the dehydration caused by drinking too much alcohol can lead to puffiness around the eye area.

7) Problems With Your Thyroid

Although it is probably more likely to be an environmental factor, puffy eyes can also be a symptom of an overactive thyroid, so if you are concerned always check with your GP.

Remedies to get rid of puffy eyes

Obviously once you have identified the cause of your puffy eyes it’s easier to adjust your lifestyle habits to tackle them. Or alternatively, you can seek medical advice if you think it may be an underlying symptom for something more serious. However, you can always try these natural remedies for reducing the appearance of puffy eyes:

Drink More Water

When your body is dehydrated it desperately tries to retain water, causing your under eye area to swell. Drinking 8-10 glasses of water a day can also help flush toxins out helping to clear up your eye area.

Chilled Cucumbers and Potatoes

The enzymes found incucumbers help reduce inflammation and tighten the skin around the eyes,just cut into slices and apply for 15 minutes. Likewise the starch that is present in potatoes has anti-inflammatory properties, simply grate
into shavings and put in a cloth then place the cloth over your eyes for
several minutes.
