A natural remedy for under eye puffiness is using a caffeine-based paste.
Caffeine Paste for Under Eye Puffiness
Caffeine acts as a vasoconstrictor, meaning it can narrow blood vessels. This process can reduce swelling and puffiness under the eyes by decreasing blood flow to that area.
How to make and use a caffeine paste:
- Gather your ingredients:
- Ground coffee
- Cold water
- Optional: Honey, almond oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil, or pure vitamin E oil.
- Mix: Create a paste by combining ground coffee with cold water.
- Enhance: If desired, add a small amount of honey or natural oil such as almond oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil or pure vitamin E oil to the mixture.
- Apply: Gently apply the paste under your eyes.
- Leave On: Let the paste sit for a few minutes.
- Rinse: Rinse the paste off with water.
Benefits of adding honey or oils:
- Honey: Acts as a humectant, helping to retain moisture in the skin.
- Natural oils: Provide extra nourishment and hydration to the delicate skin under the eyes.
