For many people, the eye area is a real problem. This is one of the first areas to show the signs of aging and is also a problem area for fluid retention. The thin skin in this area makes it very sensitive part of the body. Here are some tips on caring for the delicate eye area:

1. Hold a metal spoon under cold running water for a few minutes and then gently press it onto the eye area to soothe, cool and reduce swelling.

2. Separate eye creams like Eyevive are a must if you suffer with puffy or ageing eyes.

3. Thin cucumber slices are an old remedy, but still a good one for reducing puffiness and soothing tired, sore eyes.

4. Soak used tea bags in cold water for around ten minutes and place them on the puffy area. Start at the outside of the eye and roll them gently inwards.

5. Elevate your head when you sleep to encourage fluid to drain away from the eye area.

6. Place a slice of raw potato underneath your eyes. The potassium in them counteracts dark circles.

7. Dont forget your diet! Diet is an important part of your health body and skin. Avoid salty foods as these can cause fluid retention
