Ok so my eyes are already prone to the dark circles & puffiness under the eye.
I've started wearing makeup again on a daily basis and I have a very gentle makeup remover (using Koh Gen Do Spa Water), BUT my eyelids are so irritated just purely from being makeup-clad every day.

So, I have read some of the remedies and products suggested for under eye puffiness & dark circles, but what about the whole package I'm experiencing??
Under eye puffiness, under eye circles, and upper lid puffiness/darkness?

Any advice, remedies, product suggestions are welcome!

Drink more water. A lot of time eye darkness and puffiness is partially caused by dehydration.

But you might also be irritating your eyes either with your removal technique or your product.

Make sure you aren't scrubbing to hard.

I admit, during my week, my sleep cycle has been AWFUL... I'm talking staying up till 1-2AM and getting up at 5:40AM (I work in accounting and we are undergoing the year-end audit, meaning LOTS of tight deadlines)!
Also, my water intake is definitely down... I have to work on this stuff.

Thanks ladies!

Any recommendations for a decent nightly eye cream that could also help, assuming I will also be improving my hydration and sleep?

Grab a potato and cut a small piece and put it under your eye for about 15 minutes for eye puffiness it helps a lot but under eye circles I don't know
