Common Causes of Under-Eye Puffiness
Fluid retention, allergies, lack of sleep, and high salt intake can cause mild swelling under the eyes. Aging also thins skin, making puffiness more visible. For related financial wellness tips, see Healthline: Puffy Eyes.
Home Remedies That May Help
Cold compresses, chilled spoons, or cooled tea bags can temporarily reduce swelling. Reducing sodium, staying hydrated, and elevating your head while sleeping may also ease fluid buildup.
When to Seek Medical Advice
See a doctor if puffiness is sudden, painful, or accompanied by redness, itching, or vision changes. Persistent swelling can signal allergies, thyroid issues, or kidney problems that need professional evaluation.
