Five Tips to Reduce Puffy Eyes and Wrinkles from Mrs Oorloff

Exercises for Puffy Eyes

Got Puffy Eyes and Wrinkles forming?

As we age having healthier and younger looking eyes becomes harder to achieve and yet a large part of eye care to prevent eye bags and puffy eyes is really good old common sense.

Those of you who are getting to know beauty therapist Mrs Oorloff will appreciate that this is approach forms the basis for a lot of the beauty treatments she offers.

1. Combat Puffy Eyes

Lie down comfortably and close your eyes. Relax. Then open your eyes and look up holding this pose for around 3 seconds. Then gently close your eyes again. Repeat this to the left and to the right.

Encouraging movement of your eyes will assist with the flow of lymph and blood and stop those systems becoming stagnant and causing that nasty eye ‘puffiness’. This little routine will also help you maintain brighter eyes.

2. Eradicate those Eye Wrinkles and Crows Feet

You can fight against the development of crows feet and wrinkles around the eye through eating a healthy diet. We all know this but the face it good nutrition improves the vision of your eyes, making them appear and therefore younger brighter.

Eat the colours of the rainbow to ensure you absorb all the anti-oxidants needed to halt the destruction of healthy tissue and it will ultimately assist in the prevention of wrinkles. A steady combination of phyto-nutrients will keep the skin around the eyes firm and looking younger.

3. Flush out Puffy Eyes and Eye Bags

Increasing your water intake to flush your system through prevents the body holding on to water and causing pools of stagnant waste i.e. puffy eyes.

4. Regulate your Fluid Retention with Lots of Sleep

Sleep is totally under rated as a beauty treatment. When we sleep we self heal and regulate the fluid in our bodies transferring them to where the body needs it instead of allowing it to build up in places we don’t want it like those puffy eyes, ankles and faces.

5. Rid yourself of Facial Wrinkles Right Now

The two main vices older women share are imbibing too much caffeine and, unfortunately, smoking! Both of these habits damage and destroy the essential vitamin C needed to rebuild skin tissue. There really is no advantage to smoking! It will prematurely age your skin and create serious wrinkles before your time.

If you are sufferer try applying cool tea bags or cucumber slices to your eyes daily as the tannin in tea bags reduces swelling and discoloration and cucumber slices have long been used to reduce puffiness and refresh the appearance of skin around the eyes. Leave them on for about 10-15 minutes. Keep your eyes closed.

It’s hard to give up the way we already live and finding time in the day for little adjustments that can affect our appearance and longevity isn’t easy but a few minutes doing eye exercises before falling into a healing sleep could be just the ticket to younger, healthier looking eyes and skin!

Here’s a lovely video to illustrate just what I mean.
