How to reduce swelling of eyes due to allergies

(1) Do not sleep on your stomach. Sleeping on your stomach allows body fluids to flow to your eyes, and you should sleep face up.

(2) Keep your chin elevated while sleeping. Using 2-3 pillows to elevate your head can prevent fluid from accumulating around your eyes.

(3) Eat less salt. Eating too much salt will cause the body to retain more water, which will be concentrated in the thin skin around the eyes. Reducing salt intake can prevent puffy eye circles.

(4) Apply ice water to the eye circles. Soak a cotton ball in water, wring it dry and apply it to your eyelids for 5-10 minutes, or place a frozen ice pack on your eyelids for 10 minutes every morning.

(5) Try using water-soluble (non-oil-containing) skin care products, including oil-free eye makeup remover.

(6) Be sure to completely remove eye makeup before going to bed. This task is more difficult than you think. Because even if some women don't wear makeup for a few days, there may still be residual makeup at the bottom of the eyelashes, and these residual makeup roots may run into the eyes while sleeping, so use a cotton ball dipped in makeup remover to wipe until there is no trace of makeup on the cotton ball;

(7) You can try using eye gel that contains plant extracts. You can use eye gel as a primer before applying makeup to keep your eyes moisturized, make wrinkles less noticeable, and make tired eyes feel comfortable.

This is the end of the introduction to how to deal with swollen eyes due to eye allergies, but it is still necessary to master common sense.
