How To DePuff

Eye creams and gels work by de-stressing irritated tissue and contracting underlying blood vessels.  Products contain ingredients that stimulate collagen production to diminish thinning of this delicate area.

Be sure to apply both a.m., and p.m., with a soft, patting motion using your middle finger. A very small amount is all you need for amazing results.

An excess pooling of fluid is usually noticed after sleep. A cool water compression, either using a wash cloth, tea tags or a chilled eye mask, is the quickest fit.  Adding slight pressure can coax fluid back into circulation, but avoid poking and pressing under the eye to prevent tissue irritation and damage

Rehydrate. It will make so many things better. Think of those 64-80 ounces of water a day as your youth serum.  A baby's body is about 78% water. As adults, our water content decreases to 45-75% of our weight. Water content is as high as 70% in lean tissue is only 10% in fat!
