So you have puffy under eyes. Sure, you can decide to schedule your sleep better but did you know that lack of sleep isn’t the only thing making your eye area puffy? Pollution, improper makeup removal, heavy eye creams, and dry and hot air are other factors that mainly contributes to puffy eyes, so sleeping more doesn’t necessarily fix your eye issue that easily.
What can you do then?
Aside from improving on the factors that can affect the condition of your under eyes, one way to actively work on the puffiness of your eyes is to use under eye masks. With regular use (not daily!), these products can immediately prevent you from leaving for work with swollen eyes or going somewhere looking like you’ve had a rough night.
