Finding a way to get rid of under-eye puffiness without spending a lot of money is like finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Some people say it’s impossible and simply point to the nearest plastic surgeon’s office. The best way to reduce puffy eyes, diminish dark circles, and not break the bank in the process is by using a collection of methods.

Read about it, try it

There are horror stories about skincare gone wrong, but those are mostly scare tactics. The internet is a great resource for researching and learning about new types of skin care that can really help reduce under-eye puffiness.

At home remedies are great. They are the generally inexpensive ways people can use to get rid of under-eye puffiness while improving the health and appearance of their skin.

Some homemade under eye cures include:

• Place used tea bags over each eye to help reduce puffiness.
• Massage the area around the eyes with ice (this stimulates circulation)
• Do a facial and top with cucumber slices to help moisturize the eye area.
• Always remove your makeup every night before bed.
• Drink eight glasses of water.
• Eat healthy
• Exercise four times a week
• Sleep at least seven hours a week.

Watch? There are a lot of things out there that can help start making those under eye problems go away.

Use creams to rejuvenate

Sticking to the DIY kick will only work so far. The skin needs vitamins and minerals. Without them, the skin begins to break down, which can cause fine lines around the eyes. Lack of nutrients can also make the eyes look puffy.

Finding a facelift is the first step. Again, this doesn’t have to break the bank. Just make sure it works well with your skin tone. Second, find a moisturizer that won’t make your skin too greasy.

Some people scoff at an under-eye cream. While there are eye creams on the market that aren’t the best, that doesn’t mean you can’t find a great cream. Once again, use the Internet.

Look for discounts online

Check out a list of under-eye creams online to find which cream gives your eyes the best chance for stronger, healthier skin. You’ll probably get lucky and find a great deal or discount where the cream manufacturer offers a risk-free trial or 50% off the second bottle.

Take advantage of these solutions. Doing the little things every day will help you wake up happy every morning. Save the money you would spend on surgery and go to the beach instead to show off how amazing your eyes look.
