Bright Eyes and Plump Lips

Every girl wants to look her best. Even though you may be aging, your beauty does not have to suffer. Below is some advice on how to combat puffy eyes and thin lips.

Decreasing Puffiness Under Eyes

There are two different treatment options available for puffy eyes, depending upon the root cause of the condition.

A lack of sleep will often cause water to be retained around the eyes, creating the appearance of puffiness. Apply a cold, moist washcloth over the eyes for 10 to 15 minutes to reduce the puffiness. Another quick remedy is tea bags. Moisten the tea bags in cold water before letting them rest on your eyes. The tannins in the tea not only minimize the puffiness but help to tighten the skin as well.

If you suffer from persistent bagginess, the cause is usually aging. Consider a blepharoplasty. This surgery will help you look younger by removing excess fat and skin from the lower and upper eyelids.

Plumping Thin Lips

There are many soft-tissue fillers such as fat, collagen, or hyaluronic acid which can be injected into lips to add fullness. This procedure does not require any downtime. However, the results are temporary. For a permanent solution, an implant can be inserted. Another permanent option is a lift lip, in which the distance between the bottom of the nose and top of upper lip is shortened, resulting in the appearance of a fuller lip.
