Puffiness Under the Eyes!

Hi! Normally any sort of "puffyness" whether it is your eyes, your fingers, or your entire body is from water retention. Make sure you're drinking plenty of water! Good luck!

I get puffiness under my eyes after a hard night of drinking. As you suggested, this might be from water retention or from dehydration? I'm not sure I quite understand.

I know this sounds really strange, but women in beauty pageants do this and i've done it when I use to do them.....Preparation h....Seriously it works I know it sounds really strange but it does work.

Be sure to get 6 to 8 hours of sleep each night. Another thing that may help is tea ~ take a tea bag (green tea is best) and, after soaking in water cool it off in the fridge for 1/2 hour. Then lay it on the puffy part under the eye. It makes the puffiness go away. I've also tried this with cucumber slices.

A few weeks ago I noticed some puffiness and darkness under my eyes. The right side is much worse than the left side, and i've tried under eye creams, tea bags, chilled spoons, cucumbers, even plain old ice packs, and neither side has showed even the slightest bit of improvement. I am only 22 years old, and I get adequate sleep, but I do have sinus problems right now. I think I might even have a sinus infection because I have a lot of pressure and pain all throughout the nose and cheek area. Could a sinus infection be causing this puffiness and darkness? Please help!
