1. Improper makeup removal
If you do not remove eye makeup properly, it can cause irritation, clogged pores and puffiness. When removing makeup, you need to use a gentle eye makeup remover to clean.
2. Rubbing eyes
Rubbing your eyes can cause the tiny blood vessels in your eyes to break, leading to dark circles, irritation, and puffiness. Instead of using your fingers, gently pat your eye area with a clean washcloth or cotton ball.
3. Not getting enough sleep
Not getting enough sleep can cause puffiness, dark circles and eye strain. The golden time for your eyes to rest is 7-8 hours of sleep every day.
4. Using electronic devices for long periods of time
Using phones and computers for long periods of time can cause eye strain, dryness and fatigue. When working, every 20 minutes, take your eyes off the screen for 20 seconds to rest your eyes.
5. Dehydration
Dehydration can lead to dry eyes and puffy eyes. You need to drink at least 1.5 - 2 liters of water per day to limit dehydration.
6. Not protecting your eyes from the sun
The sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause severe eye strain, dryness, and damage, resulting in puffy, tired-looking eyes. When you go outside, wear sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat, even on cloudy days.
