Oh no puffy eyes!

Puffy and swollen under the eyes is your best friend especially when you stay late at night, lacking good sleep, consuming food rich in salt before sleeping, exhausting flight, too much alcohol or just your face decides to inflate like a balloon while you sleep. As runway models, this problem should be avoided at all cost. That is why makeup artist and models alike use ice rolling to whip their skin into shape.

Not only models trying their best to avoid this problem. Regular women who are going to work, having important meetings or going on a date also will try their best to look beautiful.

Eye allergy is the major reason why your eyes swelling. When exposed to allergic, the blood vessels inside the eyes tend to swell and the eyes tend to become itchy, red and watery. Puffy eyes can also happen due to genetics and age factor. Puffiness under eyes is common as you age. As you age, the tissues around your eyes including some of the muscles supporting your eyelids weaken. Normal fat that helps support the eyes then move into the lower eyelids causing the lids to appear puffy.Fluid also may accumulate in the area and adding the swell.

Other factors that can lead to this condition, including:

• Changes in weather for example hot, humid days
• Changes in hormone levels
• Consuming too much salty food
• Not getting enough sleep
• Heredity that runs  in the family

Ice ice baby
