Four Masks for Puffy Under Eyes

If you have a sleepless night or if there’s fluid retention under your eyes, you may get swelling. One easy way to reduce this puffiness is to make a homemade eye mask. If you need to get rid of puffy under eyes, try using one of these masks.

Coffee Mask

The caffeine in coffee acts as a diuretic, allowing it to reduce fluid build-up under your eyes. This mask combines coffee with skin-tightening egg whites to create a great puffiness reducer. To make the mask, follow these steps:

• In a bowl, combine one egg white with two teaspoons of unused coffee grounds.
• Beat the mixture until it’s frothy. This should take about one minute.
• Carefully apply the mixture under your eyes—try not to get any in your eyes.
• Leave the mixture on for ten minutes. As time goes by, you’ll feel your skin tightening.
• After ten minutes, remove the mixture with a dampened towel. Then, immediately apply moisturizer under your eyes.

Pineapple and Turmeric Mask

Pineapple is full of vitamins that will rejuvenate your skin and reduce puffiness. Turmeric can also reduce swelling, and it deeply cleanses your skin. To create this face mask, you should:

• Combine two to three teaspoons of pureed pineapple with two teaspoons of turmeric.
• Apply the mixture under your eyes. Leave it on for ten to fifteen minutes before gently washing it off with cool water.

Potato Mask

Cold, raw potatoes are good at reducing the puffiness under your eyes. The potatoes' starch has anti-inflammatory properties, allowing the potatoes to reduce swelling and irritation. To make a potato mask, follow these instructions:

• Wash and peel a raw potato.
• Grate the potato as finely as you can. Then, place a handful of grated potato into a clean cloth. Fold the cloth and place it over your eyelids. Leave it on for about fifteen minutes.

Egg Whites and Witch Hazel

Egg whites and witch hazel both have skin-tightening abilities. Combining these ingredients creates a mask that will greatly reduce your puffiness.

• Take two eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. Place the egg whites in a bowl.
• Beat the egg whites with a fork until they are stiff.
• Add three to four drops of witch hazel to the egg whites, and then stir.
• Use a clean cloth or a soft brush to apply the mixture to the skin underneath your eyes.
• After fifteen minutes, wash off the mixture with warm water. You can put this mixture on a few times a day.

These four eye masks all use natural ingredients that are able to reduce swelling and puffiness. The next time puffiness appears under your eyes, make one of these all-natural eye masks.
