How to reduce puffy eyes in the morning: 6 quick fixes
Share
To reduce puffy eyes quickly, cool the area, move the fluid gently, and stay upright. A cold compress for 5 to 10 minutes followed by gentle tapping with an under-eye serum calms most morning puffiness in about 15 minutes.
6 quick fixes
- Cold compress: a clean cloth with ice wrapped inside, a chilled gel mask or cold water on a soft cloth, for 5 to 10 minutes. Never put ice directly on the skin.
- Chilled spoons: keep two spoons in the fridge and rest the backs on your eyes for a few minutes.
- Cold tea bags: used green or black tea bags, chilled and squeezed, for 5 minutes.
- Gentle tapping: with your ring finger, tap from the inner corner outwards towards the temples for a minute. It helps the fluid move.
- Under-eye serum: tap in a rice-grain amount of Jaago Coffee Dark Circle Serum. Coffee oil, green tea oil and vitamin E keep the area hydrated and fresh-looking.
- Drink water and stay upright: puffiness drains faster once you are up and moving.
Stop it coming back
- Less salt and fewer salty snacks at night
- An extra pillow so your head is slightly raised
- 7 to 8 hours of sleep
- No eye-rubbing; treat allergies
- Jaago every night, so the under-eye skin stays supple
What to expect
Quick fixes work for a few hours. With nightly care and better habits, most people wake up less puffy within 1 to 2 weeks, and under-eyes look fresher after 2 to 4 weeks.
When to see a doctor
See a doctor if puffiness is sudden and severe, painful, red, itchy, only on one side, affects your vision, or comes with swelling in other parts of the body.
