I settled on seven methods to get rid of under-eye puffiness, and the results were… unexpected, to say the least.
Per ThriveMedSpa’s instructions, I put the spoons in the freezer for 15 minutes, and then placed them on my eyes until they got warm. Was it enjoyable? No. Was it better than the tea bags? HECK YES.
Patchology eye gels ($50, Patchology)
These eye pads were definitely a jump in price in comparison to the other hacks, considering that they were $50 instead of, well, just already in my kitchen.
I thought the gel would feel sticky and weird, but it didn’t! It was nice and didn’t have a weird smell, thankfully. Plus, no weird breakouts!
Using the book “Elemental Energy: Crystal and Gemstone Rituals for a Beautiful Life” as my guide, I set off for a face that wasn’t so puffy.
Sure, I could totally relax more, but how could a rock — I’m sorry, a hematite stone — help my eyes? At least it wouldn’t sting my eyes like the tea bags. Goodness.
The instructions stated:
Y’ALL, I was SCREAMING the next morning — because the puffiness had gotten worse! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE??!!
At this point, I started to accept my under-eye bags are just a part of me.
I do think that some of these hacks/products could work great for others — it may just depend on the person. It might take some trial and error, but it’s worth a try. But most importantly, if you’re trying to conquer your under-eye puffiness, remember the person who notices your under-eye bags the most is YOU.
Hey, if anyone brings them up, just throw them some side-eye with the help of your under-eyes.
