(1) Tea
The astringent tannins from tea are a tried-and-tested way of lending an instant lift to your lids. Simply recycle used tea bags by chucking them in an airtight container in the fridge, for easy retrieval whenever you need a quick fix. Slap them on like you would any cold compress, kick up your kitten heels for five minutes or so, then whip off for a radically reinvigorated visage.
(2) Detox in order to depuff
Look out for caffeine in your eye cream. Topical coffee is a superb stimulant for soothing saggy skin under your eyes and indeed, just about anywhere on your face and body.
(3) Beat It
If you’re particularly puffy from pulling too many all-nighters, try this neat little eye-xercise after applying your eye cream. Using your ring finger and starting from the inner corners, press gently for about five seconds, inching outwards at five-second intervals. This bit is important: Fanning outwards aids in funnelling accumulated fluid into lymphatic channels for drainage.
All told, that’d be five seconds of pressure close to the tear ducts; five seconds at the midway point directly below your pupils, and a final five seconds at the tapering end of your lash-line. Be sure to spend a couple of seconds to focus on the pressure points at the brow bone as well as on the inner and outer eye corners, which are the key areas for the drainage of toxins. This prodding of your pressure points prompts further fluid drainage, plus it'll feel pretty darn good after a long day of eyeballing your electronic devices.
