Reducing under-eye puffiness naturally involves a combination of topical treatments, lifestyle adjustments, and dietary considerations. Here are several effective methods:
1. Cold Compresses
For an instant cooling and de-puffing effect, try chilling your In My Eyes Ever-hydrating Eye Patches and Eye-to-face Gua Sha Roller in the fridge before use!
2. Cucumber Slices
Cucumbers have soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. Place chilled cucumber slices over your eyes for 10–20 minutes to help hydrate and calm the skin. ([besteyehospitals.com])
3. Tea Bags
Tea contains caffeine and antioxidants, which can help constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling. Steep two tea bags in hot water, let them cool in the fridge, then place them on your eyes for 10–15 minutes. ([besteyehospitals.com])
4. Aloe Vera Gel
Aloe vera is known for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and hydrating properties. Apply a small amount of pure aloe vera gel under your eyes, leave it on for 10–15 minutes, then rinse with cool water.

5. Potato Slices
Raw potatoes contain enzymes and natural astringents that help reduce inflammation and lighten dark circles. Place thin slices of chilled raw potato on your under-eye area for 15 minutes, then rinse gently with lukewarm water. ([thebiohack.org])
6. Rose Water
Rose water has anti-inflammatory properties and can act as a gentle toner for the skin. Applying chilled rose water with cotton pads to the under-eye area may help soothe tired eyes and reduce swelling. ([guardian.ng])
7. Hydration and Diet
Drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps flush out excess salt and reduces water retention, which can lessen puffiness. Reducing salty foods and alcohol, both of which can cause your body to retain water and increase puffiness, is also beneficial. ([besteyehospitals.com])
8. Sleep Position
Sleeping with your head slightly elevated can prevent fluid from pooling around your eyes overnight, reducing morning puffiness. ([thebiohack.org])
9. Gentle Eye Massage
Using your Eye-to-face Gua Sha Roller gently tap or massage the area around your eyes to stimulate circulation and help drain excess fluid. ([besteyehospitals.com])
Incorporating these natural remedies into your daily routine can help alleviate under-eye puffiness and promote a refreshed appearance.
