The puffiness under eyes can be due to hereditary factors. First consult a doctor to ensure that your kidneys and sinuses are functioning well. Ask for dietary advice too. Do not leave make-up or cream on around eyes at night when you sleep. It leads to puffiness around them. Apply a compress of iced water or cold milk directly over closed lids and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. You can soak cotton wool pads in chilled rose water and let it rest on your under-eyes for 10 to 15 minutes. It’s a good idea to lie down and rest while you do this. Grated potatoes or potato juice, applied around the eyes also helps to reduce puffiness. So do tea bags. Steep them in hot water, cool, and use them as eye pads.
