Makeup Tip of the Day: Get Rid of Under-Eye Puffiness! Natural Remedies!
Didn't sleep well the night before the wedding?! Up having too much fun with your bridal party, or you tried for some well-deserved R & R, but the anticipation is keeping you awake? Keep this in mind if your Wedding Day is around the corner!
Your eyes are usually the first to suffer, and we want those eyes ready for ravishing makeup by the time we show up!!! Here is the causes of why our eyes tend to puff, and a neat Natural Remedies which I personally love to do!
Good thing puffy eyes is a temporary problem. As women, we usually suffer from the puff sometimes by hormones, allergies, crying excessively...or in a beaming bride's case, lack of sleep!
Natural Remedies for those Saddle Bags of yours... ;)
Cotton-Ball Soaked in Milk - that's right! Lactic Acid found in milk is great for reducing swelling under the eye, just place the cotton ball under the eye, leave on for 5 minutes per eye.
The Good Ol' Cold Water Splash! My favorite to-do in any skin care crisis! Cold water is awesome for puffy eyes because it increases the blood circulation through veins and gets out excess water from your skin, and will help reduce the swelling!
To Avoid this from happening: Well, R&R...but if that is out of the question for you, at least turn to whole foods instead of fatty processed take-out and salt in-take should be low.
Check out Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Eye Cream!
LOVE this stuff! Definitely something to buy before the Big Nuptials!
