Facials that help reduce puffy eyes

Puffy eyes can occur for lots of reasons, from eating a diet that’s too heavy on the salt and not drinking enough water to seasonal allergies and fatigue.

An accumulation of fluids under the eye area can make the face appear billowy and full.¬†Stimulating the blood circulation around the eyes helps to reduce this puffiness, lending the skin a more youthful appearance. A brilliant way to do this is to massage or gently tap the area under the eyes using products that combine circulation-enhancing ingredients. For example, The Clay Mask in our skincare range contains a natural mineral called Kaolin, which encourages blood flow while exfoliating and cleansing. Team this purifying face mask with The Eye Cream, formulated to brighten dark circles and tighten the eye area, and you’ve created a two-step facial that’s perfect for de-puffing the eyes.

Simply apply the cream under the eyes and use a gentle tapping motion to help it absorb into the skin. Designed to smooth and lift the eye area, this soothing product also protects the eyes from pollution, blue light and infra red light type A radiation

You could even layer on a chilled serum or moisturiser afterwards, which works much like a cold compress (or chilled slices of cucumber) to reduce swelling and inflammation upon contact.
