How to remove bruises and puffiness under the eyes
Regular bruising under the eyes can indicate a poor lifestyle, lack of sleep, or diseases associated with the accumulation of fluid in the body.
Get enough sleep, sleep 7-8 hours a day. Reduce the amount of salt you eat. It retains fluid in the body, resulting in puffiness under the eyes.
Use only quality face creams and cosmetics. Your swelling and bruising may be an allergic reaction.
If bruising occurs in the morning, self-massage. In the morning, immediately after washing your face, gently massage the skin under your eyes with your fingertips. Gently slide your fingers along the line of the lower eyelid to the bridge of the nose. After that, lightly pull on the outer corners of the eyes. Finally, close your eyes, slowly count to six, and open your eyes.
If a black eye appears as a result of an injury, do not despair, give yourself first aid and start treating it. Well, if bruises under the eyes are your constant companions, try to change your lifestyle in order to get rid of them.
Expert Tips

– In 90% of cases, the main cause of edema and bruising under the eyes is genetic predisposition… In this case, some puffiness or tired eyes may begin to bother you from a very young age.
Doesn’t have the best effect on appearance irregular и poor quality sleep… Therefore, to quickly eliminate bruises and puffiness, no matter how trite it may sound, you just need to get a good night’s sleep! And it is better to sleep on a high pillow to improve the outflow of fluid from the face.
Lack of physical activity, alas, also contributes to the stagnation of lymph in the body. Start your day by exercising – play nice music and move around at your own pace. As an express method, you can do 100 “lymphatic drainage” jumps in place (just hold your chest with your hands). Try to include physical activity in your daily routine – walking / outdoor games with children / cycling.
And, of course, healthy Eating… Eliminate fast food and control the amount of salt you eat. Add seasonal fruits and vegetables to your diet (by the way, apples and parsley are especially helpful in removing excess fluid from the body).
Concerning cosmetology, for the prevention and quick elimination of edema under the eyes, hardware lymphatic drainage procedures for the face are very effective – multifraction vacuum massage / microcurrent therapy / manual lymphatic drainage massage from a competent specialist. The main thing that needs to be observed is regularity and a full course – at least 3 times a week, a course of 15 – 20 procedures.
Of injection therapy I can recommend mesotherapy for the area around the eyes – after the procedure, the puffiness of the area around the eyes is guaranteed to decrease, the skin becomes denser, and wrinkles are reduced.
Home you can use retinol eye cream – it plumps the skin and removes dark circles. Or caffeinated. When you need the effect “here and now”, then everyone’s favorite patches, ice cubes (only if you do not have a tendency to rosacea and cold allergies), self-massage of the face along the lymphatic drainage lines can become salvation. I like to use the pre-cooled stone roller massager after self-massage my face. The contrast of temperatures tones the skin (but it is important not to overdo it or overstretch it).
There is no single protocol for correcting this problem. Each organism is unique and requires an individual approach. I have listed those techniques that will be useful to absolutely everyone and, applying which, you will see the result in 100% of cases!
