Q. I used my new eye cream yesterday night for the first time and I woke up with my eyes swollen. Like when you've been crying a lot and you go to sleep and the next morning your eyes look as puffy as they can look? Ok, kinda like that. I know it's not an alergy beacuse I had no itch or eruption or redness or pain anything. Could it be that they were too moistured? is that even possible?
I applied the eye cream on the sides of my eyes, on my eyelids and right underneath the eye.
I'm using eye cream because it's not recomendable to use the cream you use on your face in your eyes as well because it's not made for that and it could leave them puffy. That's why eye creams were created. Besides the skin around the eyes is the first one to show sings of aging and eye creams help with that too.
The puffiness DID dissapear... but I never ever have the eyes as puffy when I wake up unless I had been crying the night before.
A.Your face and body perspire at night and if there is any cream on your face, especially under eyes, it will stop your skin from releasing the perspiration and you will end up with a puffy look. I am a makeup artist, and never go to bed with eye cream or anything oily under your eyes before you go to bed. If I use anything at night, it is a vitamin C serum on my face and neck, but not under eyes. Your skin needs to be moisturized in the morning and then add your eye cream or silcone filler (like Estee Lauder Idealist) and don't eat any sodium (salt, soup, pickles, chips, tomatoe juice, pop, club soda etc.) before you go to bed. Stay away from anything with mineral oil in the first 3 ingredients, because that is the worst. You are so lucky that you still are young, because as you get older, your eyes get puffier even without crying. Crying is a sign that you are a caring, sweet person and be happy you can cry because the more hard and synical you are, it is harder to cry. It's actually a gift from God to cry and release toxins and pent up angst. Good Luck to you sweet girl.
