Question
For a long time, upon waking up, the eye pockets swell and take a long time to recover. Previously, swelling of the eyelids only occurred occasionally when drinking a lot of water before bed or eating certain foods. But now, every morning is like this. What should I do?
Answer
Swelling around the eyes can be treated with cold milk compresses. Alternatively, you can cool chamomile tea bags in the refrigerator and then apply them to the eyelids for relief. However, the ultimate solution is to avoid drinking too much water before bedtime. Or sleep with a higher pillow to reduce the chance of eye swelling. Gently massage the eyelid skin using the following technique: place your middle and ring fingers on the eyebrows and slowly slide them towards the temples while massaging. This can help improve the condition. But do not press too hard; otherwise, fine lines may appear.
