Best way to get rid of dark under-eye circles and puffiness? Do those lip plumper things work?

Actually, Prep H's formula in the US changed in the 80's. It no longer has the ingredient that it used to when it became the ';model's secret';. Those home remedies listed work just as well, if not better, than any product you can buy. Even just getting up and walking around for a while will reduce puffiness in your eyes. Puffiness is due to water buildup when you're lying down.





Dark circles are genetic. They're caused by the blood vessels under thinner undereye skin that will only get thinner as you age. There's no real ';cure'; for them, but trial and error with a good concealer, just find one that works for you. I like Touche Eclat by Yves St Laurent and also use Cle de Peau Beaute concealer when I need heavier coverage. If you want to go the drugstore route, remember most drugstores allow you to return cosmetics (and if yours doesnt, try this at one that does) - simply buy what sounds right, keep your receipt and if it doesn't do what you want, return it. Then move on to the next brand.





Most lip plumpers work by using a stimulant (pepper, cinnamon) to irritate the lips into looking fuller. I like Lip Fusion XL - the one you wear at night. I use it nightly and it plumps up the wee wrinkles that are starting to develop around my lips. It does work - and not by irritation, but it has micro collagen in it that your lips absorb. Skin loses collagen as we age too - and some people have more than others. So it kind of makes up for what Mother Nature or aging takes away and doesn't burn as much as the ';stimulant'; plumpers. Again, it's a personal choice, but I've found it to give the subtle fullness I like and it lasts all day when used nightly.

You could use the tea-beg remedy. After boiling tea, take 2 teabags and put them in the refrigerator for 24hrs. After that wash your eyes with water and massage in a circular motion before placing the teabags for 10 minutes. After use, throw them.
I have heard tea bags work really well for puffiness. For the dark under-eye circles I know there are some creams that you can buy at any drug store.
Below are 3 simple ways that you can take advantage of to help with your tired looking eyes.





1. Cold Tea bags and Cucumbers: For a truly natural remedy use cold tea bags and cucumbers! There is definitely is something soothing with having cucumbers and tea bags on top of your eyes. Tea bags and cucumbers reduce vascular inflammation and decrease swelling. This combination is especially good for dark swollen circles because there is tannin inside of the tea that helps with eliminating the puffiness.





2. Concealer: For a more conventional solution try using a concealer. Using yellow will neutralize the blues, purples, and husky hues on the skin. This does not rid the problem, but can build your confidence for the day to alleviate the 'tired look'. I recommend ONE Group certified organic concealer to cure dark circles under your eyes.





3. Anti-oxidants: Antioxidant treatments help to reduce fluid buildup under the eyes, which decreases the look of the dark circles. Go for treatments that involve a lot of vitamin C and GHK copper peptides. Also, vitamin K is great for restoring stability and strength to the blood vessels under the eyes, which reduces their proliferation.





Home remedies for puffy, swollen eyes





Cool compress of any kind is usually good. It can be water compress or you could dip a face towel in a bowl filled with cold water. Hold it over the eyes and dip in some more cold water when the towel becomes warm.
Believe it or not but Preparation H gets rid of puffiness. I'm not joking! The lip plumper's do not work! I have spent a ton of money on those trying to find one that does.
Dark circles can treated with regular and gentle care.Cover your eyes with cotton soaked in luke warm milk for 15 minutes everyday to remove the dark circles around your eyes or dip cotton pads into freshly extracted mint juice, flatten them and place them on closed eyelids for 10 to 15 minutes.

for the eyes the best is cucumber and strawberries....buy strawberries and make a little pure and put it under you eyes for 30 minutes after that wash and cut cucumber in round pieces on your eyes for 20 minutes and you will see...about the lip plumper..i think is just make you lips feel numb and that's way you think they plum..i don't think they work
