Ditch Dark Circles and Puffiness for Good

Use these expert tips to treat and camouflage your annoying eye issues the right way

8 of 10

Reduce temporary puff

Waldorf recommends applying a cool compress for 10 or so minutes to temporarily puffy eyes to deflate them -- she likes to use "a piece of Spenco 2nd Skin, $8.95 [that's been] kept in the fridge" as a cool compress, she says. Follow the compress with an eye cream that contains caffeine (try Revaleskin Replenishing Eye Therapy, $72) to further deflate the area.

I also recomend using hemaroid cream, embarrasing as it sounds, the cream actually helps to shrink blood vessels and lighten the area, I use this if I am going to an important event eg- school photos. Good Luck! x
