The skin around your eyes is the thinnest and needs more attention than you think! One of the most common beauty problems is puffy eyes, which happens when the skin around the eyes begins to swell. It can happen with a lack of sleep, tiredness, and even excessive crying.
Follow these steps to avoid waking up in the morning with puffy eyes:
1. Drink enough water the night before
Water retention is a big cause for puffiness. So drink an adequate amount of water before going to bed. And not just at night, drink water throughout the day to remain well-hydrated.

2. Avoid junk food and alcohol
Eating junk food like popcorn and chips while watching TV before going off to sleep is likely to cause puffiness because of the high salt content in these food items. Alcohol, again, causes dehydration and can lead to puffy eyes.
3. Get rid of stuff that causes allergies
Make sure to get rid of stuff that causes allergies. Dust your house well and sleep on clean beds with fresh linen. Allergies give one eye irritation and consequently, puffiness.
4. Say no to stress
Stress disturbs the salt balance in the body that can lead to puffy eyes in the morning.
5. Frozen spoon
Keep a few spoons in the freezer for some time. For a quick way to hide puffy eyes is to place the cold spoon on the swollen area for a few minutes. This will help to reduce the puffiness by constricting the blood vessels.
