Swelling under the eyes occurs in the morning in many people. Especially often this happens in those who are sick with vegeto-vascular dystonia, experiencing a lot of stress, and also has kidney disease.
Of course, this problem with the help of cosmetics can be tried many times, but it is more correct to determine what the cause lies in, and to solve it.
Causes of edema under the eyes
The formation of edema is characteristic of an area where thin vessels are fatty tissue. In some areas of the body, moderate swelling is seen worse, but in the eye area, even a slight accumulation of fluid becomes evident.
The causes of edema can be as different diseases, and just irrational nutrition and excessive fluid intake.
Food
For example, if you drink a lot of water at night or eat fatty foods filled with lots of spicy spices and salt, the likelihood of swelling under the eyes will increase dramatically. If the food is balanced, then swelling will stop bothering.
Diseases of internal organs
Also, edema under the eyes is caused by constant stress (weakness of the nervous system) and kidney disease. It is believed that the kidney edema can be distinguished from the cardiac ones by the fact that they appear early in the morning on the face.
Diseases of the ENT organs and eyes
If there is swelling under the right eye or swelling under the left eye, then, most likely, the reason lies in the infection that the ENT or an ophthalmologist should detect.
How to remove swelling under the eyes with the help of pharmacy?
Today, there are many tools that help to locally remove swelling. But they should be used only after it becomes clear whether there is any disease that causes swelling. In the opposite case, the effect of cosmetic and folk remedies will be minimal, because the underlying disease will again form bags under the eyes.
If the problem is of a purely cosmetic nature, and is caused, for example, by the intake of a large amount of liquid, then the following tools can not only be used, but also it is necessary that the tender skin of the eyelids does not stretch.
Masks from swelling under the eyes
As a rule, pharmacies can buy masks with a gel inside, which is pre-cooled in a refrigerator, and then applied to the face. But such cooling agents should be used carefully, so as not to catch a nerve.
Cream for swelling under the eyes
These products often contain mint extract, and after applying they create a cool effect.
There is a misconception that a cream to strengthen the skin of the eyelids will help prevent swelling. Of course, this is not so, and moreover, they contribute to the accumulation of fluid, and therefore, if it is assumed that under the eyes for the morning there will be swelling, then you can not use these creams.
Edema under the eyes: folk remedies
Folk remedies for edema under the eyes are very simple and not less effective than ready-made cosmetics.
- A well-known method is tea-making. Take two tea bags, brew them and let them brew. After cooling, put
them for 10 minutes. The downside of this method is that black tea is more effective, and it has coloring properties. For this purpose it is desirable to use a good natural tea that does not contain chemical dyes. - Compress with a cold cloth. The simplest, most affordable and fastest way is to wet the cloth in cold water and apply it to the eyelids. As the tissue warms up, it needs to be cooled again (you can use a dish with water and ice cubes), and then apply again to the eyelids. This compress should last no more than 10 minutes to not catch a cold.
- Folk medicine also has masks from swelling under the eyes. Virtually all of them contain a refreshing and cooling ingredient - mint. Brew chamomile with mint in equal proportion, soak two quilted discs in broth and put them on your eyes for 15 minutes. Similarly to chamomile, swelling removes and linden color, so a combination of mint and lime will also be appropriate.
