“Puffy Eyes” – You can safely use this on your skin

Puffy eyes and facial swelling are something most people experience. It can occur after traveling, a salty dinner, little sleep – or in the days before menstruation, when hormones make it easier for the body to retain fluid. Fluid retention can strike at any time, and often gives a feeling of being flabby, puffy and uncomfortable. Fill the skin with moisture without triggering puffiness around the eyes.

Skin care around the eyes: friend or foe?

Did you know that creams with a lot of oils or balms can trigger puffy eyes? If you struggle with heavy eyelids, you should choose light products with a lot of moisture and less oil around the eye area. This is especially true at night, if you often wake up with “hooded eyes”. The products should hydrate effectively and counteract fine lines without weighing down the eye area.
