Your eyes are expert communicators, helping you relay your thoughts and emotions to others. But a pair of puffy peepers probably says a lot more than you intend—that you’re tired, sick or simply feeling blah. The delicate, sensitive skin around the eyes—it’s thinner here than anywhere else— is one of the first places the body shows signs of stress, in fact. It doesn’t take much for puffiness to appear. Allergies, stress and a lack of sleep are common culprits, as they cause fluid to pool in the under-eye area, which leads to mild swelling (edema). Rubbing your eyes when they’re itchy, teary or tired doesn’t help either, since it only inflames the area more. A diet high in salt (even just one sodium-packed late-night meal) can also be to blame, since it can cause you to retain fluid. While there are creams and even medical procedures that aim to reduce bags, there are at-home remedies that are effective, too—and a lot less expensive. These six natural solutions will not only temporarily improve the appearance of the skin under your eyes, but offer a few moments of relaxation and spa-like calm too. . . . . . . . . . . . #baggyeyes #menskincare https://www.instagram.com/p/CJk6oTiMsc9/?igshid=173iu0jmh2yjm
