Precautions
Tired eyes
Eyes can become puffy if your body isn't properly hydrated. If the body is in lacking water content, it holds onto any water it receives, thus causing water retention and swelling. Be sure to drink at least eight glasses of water a day, and if you don't particularly like plain water, consider drinking one of the many varieties of flavored water. Keeping the body hydrated will help the eyes appear bright and awake, and also help reduce under eye puffiness.
