The lesson: keep your eye care product cool, and if your caffeine serum seems ineffective, try other draining active ingredients. As for retinol, there's no need for a specific product: your usual skincare routine two or three times a week for this area will suffice.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bd-dark-quote\"><strong>Massage: does it work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Massage improves lymphatic drainage: do this morning and evening if you have oedemas. Be careful: pressing too hard during application can cause eyelids to swell.

The first sign is often an altered look, with a shadow around the rim of the eye. Cosmetic treatments can do little to improve the appearance: it may be useful to discuss hyaluronic acid injections or cosmetic surgery, as part of a medical consultation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bd-alert bd-alert-info\"><span class=\"bd-alert-icon\">\u2695\ufe0f<\/span><\/p>\n<div><strong>A medical cause to be aware of:<\/strong> dysthyroid orbitopathy, an increase in intraorbital tissue volume linked to thyroid dysfunction. It mainly affects women over the age of 40, evolves in flare-ups and can cause exophthalmos. If in doubt, and especially in the case of a palpable nodule at the base of the neck, consult an endocrinologist.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"bd-section\">\n<div class=\"bd-wrap\"><span class=\"bd-section-label\">Evolution &amp; special cases<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>With age, <em>in men<\/em><\/h2>\n<p class=\"bd-lead\">With age, puffiness tends to worsen: the skin becomes thinner, circulation is less efficient and the eyelids swell more. Hence the importance of adopting a healthy lifestyle early on, using the right skincare products, massaging with a moisturizing gel or cream, and avoiding allergies and irritations.<\/p>\n<p>In men, the bone is often more prominent and the skin thicker, but the aggravating factors are the same (sleep, alcohol, tobacco, salt). To reduce puffiness quickly, make-up remains the quickest and safest solution; an appropriate skincare routine is useful for puffiness of oedematous origin, but in the case of fatty hernia, only injections or surgery will bring real results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p><!-- ===== CTA APP (bd-final standard) ===== --><\/p>\n<section class=\"bd-final\" style=\"padding-top:48px !important;margin-top:0 !important\">\n<div class=\"bd-wrap\">\n<div class=\"bd-final-inner\">\n<div class=\"bd-section-label\">Further information<\/div>\n<h2>Analyze an anti-puffiness treatment on <em>your skin profile<\/em>.<\/h2>\n<p>The BeautyDecoded application lets you scan any cosmetic product to visualize its suitability for your skin type and needs, based on INCI analysis.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bd-cta-wrap\" style=\"justify-content: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beautydecoded.go.link\/88eZ2\" class=\"bd-cta\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Discover BeautyDecoded<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"bd-cta-meta\" style=\"margin-top: 16px;\">Application available on iOS and Android<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"bd-section\">\n<div class=\"bd-wrap\"><span class=\"bd-section-label\">Frequently asked questions<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Your questions about <em>pockets<\/em><\/h2>\n<div class=\"bd-faq-list\">\n<details class=\"bd-faq-item\">\n<summary>How can I tell if my bags are edema or fat?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"bd-faq-answer\">Observe changes over the course of the day: a pocket of oedema is more marked in the morning when you wake up and then diminishes, whereas a pocket of fatty hernia remains stable from morning to night.
