Puffiness Around Eyes |
|
Causes of Puffy EyesSome of most common causes of eye puffiness include lack of sleep (both sleep deprivation and interrupted sleep cycles), fluid retention, diet that can lead to fluid retention, alcohol and tobacco, and allergies. Allergic reactions that lead to nasal congestion can exasperate puffiness around the eyes. Perhaps the most common cause, aging also leads to drooping or puffiness around the eyes.Lack of sleep can be a reason why you might be experiencing puffiness under the eyes. It can affect both males and females, and ultimately, the solutions to this cause is simple - make sure you get more restful sleep. Easier said than done, but it can reduce the puffiness under the eyes or around the sensitive eye area. It's important to note that this is a short-term solution and doesn't address puffiness around the eyes that develops over time, as an affect of aging. Fluid retention leading to puffiness under the eyes can be a result of simple environmental effects, such as changes in weather, as well as internal factors such as hormone levels. Allergic reactions can also temporarily cause puffiness. However, with some persistent types of allergic reactions, puffiness may become a chronic problem that needs to be addressed with specific treatment. This also applies to cases where the puffiness is caused as a side effect of a certain medication you might be taking. If it's a medication that you will be taking for an extended period of time, it's important to address the side effect of puffiness around the eyes, so that it doesn't become a problem itself that could persist after the medication stops. Although all the causes listed above are fairly common, puffiness around the eyes can also simply be a result of heredity. Some people generally have a higher level of water retention or different skin tissue composition that can lead to having puffiness around the eyes. Also in these cases, the remedy would have to be a long-term solution rather than a temporary or quick fix. Ultimately, there are numerous potential causes for having puffiness around the eyes. Consider whether some of the factors listed here might be playing a role in diminishing the beauty of your appearance. If it's a mild or temporary problem you're experience, it will most likely correct itself with simple improvements in sleep, diet, and environment.
