How to Reduce Puffy Eyes Caused by Cold Weather

During the winter, you may get more puffiness and bags around your eyes than you do in the warmer months of the year. To reduce puffy eyes in the winter months, try doing these three things.

Add Vitamin D to your Diet

One of the reasons that your eyes look puffier in winter is because of vitamin D deficiency.  Since winter weather is often cloudy, you won’t be able to get much vitamin D naturally. To make up for the lack of vitamins, try taking vitamin D pills. Or, you can eat foods that are high in vitamin D, like fish, mushrooms, cheese, tofu, and eggs.

Use Cold Water or a Cold Compress

If you wake up with under eye puffiness, cold water will help reduce it. You can simply splash some cold water onto your eyes—this will constrict your blood vessels, diminishing the appearance of puffiness. Or, you can use a cold compress. Do not use a store-bought ice pack—it will be too bulky. Instead, create your own cold compress.  Fill a plastic bag with ice and wrap a towel around it. Lie down, and place the towel-wrapped bag over your eyes. Leave it on for about ten minutes. You can do this a few times a day until your puffiness disappears.

Use Under Eye Cream

Under Eye cream will quickly get rid of dark circles and puffiness. It will moisturize and nourish your skin, and it will make your skin look years younger. This cream is the perfect dark circle and puffiness remedy to use all-year round.

If you keep seeing puffiness under your eyes, just take vitamin D, use cold water, and put on under eye cream. These tips will help you get rid of dark circles and puffy eyes this winter.
