Red Puffy Eyes

It is hard to feel beautiful with red puffy eyes. There are different reasons healthy people have red puffy eyes and dark circles under their eyes. There are different ways to correct the problem. Until the cause is discovered, eye drops and makeup can help.

These are some of the causes:

• Food sensitivity-milk and wheat are common contributors to dark circles.
• Exposure to dark damp areas-mold can grow and release spores into the air
• Indoor allergies-dust, animals, mold, and mites
• Pets-pet saliva is more of an allergen that pet hair
• Air in home-poor ventilation and dirty filters
• Outdoor allergies-plants, grass, flowers, and pollution

Not all exposure can be controlled. These are some ideas of ways to reduce the impact by relieving red puffy eyes, and reduce dark circles:

• Avoid or eliminate foods that effect eye beauty
• Keep areas dry and clean with 1% bleach solution to kill/reduce mold
• Clean indoors thoroughly
• Have pets groomed and avoid saliva
• Open windows periodically even during the winter
• Replace air filters
• Limit outdoor expose especially between 4am and 10am when pollen is at it’s highest
• Go to bed with clean hair and a clean pillow case so the allergens that are on the hair don’t end up on the pillow to be breathed in throughout the night.

The changes above won’t change the appearance of the eyes immediately, but it’s worth the wait to have beautiful eyes.
