Puff - be gone!


They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder; but there's nothing wrong with keeping those beholding eyes beautiful. No more cucumber slices, no more refrigerated spoons, no more raw potato skin strips and no more tea bags! If you're anything like me, the chance that you're getting the recommended 8 hour sleep on a regular basis is slim to none. And of course, people seem to enjoy to remind me that I look tired and run down [as if I don't know that I'm running on 4 hours of sleep - thanks tips]. For those days that you're looking a little more haggard than usual, use an eye cream to de-puff, revitalize and restore those radiant eyes of yours. Look for a cream or serum that contains antioxidants and vitamins. If you can find one that contains yeast extract, it will help reduce the look of dark circles as the extract increases microcirculation in the skin. One of my personal favorites is Clinique - All About Eyes Rich. At $47.50 for the 1 oz jar or $29 for the 0.5 oz jar [from Sephorah], you can't go wrong; this moisturizing eye treatment helps minimize the appearance of dark circles, shadows and puffiness while brightening the eye area and boosting natural collagen production.

Bye-bye puffy eyes!
