| Help! Any good ideas for reducing sagging eyelid skin short of eyelift surgery? I have very good skin but when I wake up in the morning, I have puffy eyelids and there has to be something out there that can help. |

| I'm not sure if this will help with ageing issues but it may help the puffiness. Sometimes the eyes get puffy because the eyes become irritated by an allergen or because the tear ducts dry a little as we get older. My optician showed me a technique that help with irritated eyes from contact lenses and since I've done it my eyes are less puffy in the morning. When you wash your face A.M & P.M get a q-tip and put it under the hot tap (make sure it is hot but not scalding)and roll it over the eye lid from the socket downwards. You can also gently hold the eyelid at the outer corner and roll the q-tip from inner corner to outer corner just above the lash line. The eyes should feel more refreshed afterwards. I discovered from an eye examination that my eyes were very dry from wearing contact lenses and I wasn't even aware of it, all knew was that they felt uncomfortable but I never guessed it was because they were dry! Since I was given moisturizing eye drops from the optician, my eyes feel a lot fresher and the whites of my eyes are white without having to resort to whitening drops. |

Floaters are due to the presence of candida in our eyes. So if indeed his floaters are caused by candida, fasting and vit A wont be enough, he will have to go through the entire healing process of candida= 1st the diet; 2nd supplements; 3rd=bowel cleanse/liver cleanse/kidney cleanse.
If he has puffy eyes, the kidneys should be addressed first. So fasting (on lemonade= water+ himalyan salt+ lemon juice) along with vit B (b50 complex) + magnesium (400 to 500mg/day + cod fish oil would be a good start.
Watch for white stuff in the toilet coming out with stools, if so you know for sure that yeast (candida) is the cause. Fasting (and the P & B bowel cleanse) are the best ways to get the yeast out.
Furthermore, sinus issues call for vitamin C = 500mg X 4/day. Candida will cause heavy damage to eyes, sinus and other tissues unless antioxydants (like vit. A, C, E, zinc, selenium and the like) are present to help drag candida and toxins out without causing damage everywhere they pass before getting eliminated.
Vit C is also great for urinary track, so he really should take some every day to prevent damages there as well.
No offense, but I feel like everyone should get down to the nitty gritty when it comes to facial muscles b/c creams are only 50%.
Here is a weblink from curezone.com that cured her saggy skin:

How about some PSF Cranberry eye gel? I find it cool and refreshing, and does a great job of reducing that morning puffiness.
I'm not sure there's any "science" behind the product that will actually tighten that area, though.  |

| Try the Dremu Airbrush eye cream, it is very effective in reducing puffiness. |

I second the PSF Cranberry Eye Gel.
Felt the difference when I went for a short trip without bringing it along ... I found my eyelids 'drooping' these days  !! |

| The Origins No Puffery Gel works very well for puffy eyes. For the best effect, I keep mine in the fridge and put it on my eyelids/eye area for approximately 10 minutes in the morning. This is great for calming the eyes as well when you haven't had a great night's sleep! |

I use the Origins No Puffery also. I keep it in the fridge and pop it on when my allergies have created a huge mess of puffiness. I sleep elevated, etc.. but still have the issues several times a week.
I also use DHC Eyebright, keep it in the fridge - I cannot tell much of a difference between the two except the DHC does not leave a sticky film and the NP is meant to be used as a "mask" you wash off, primarily.
I suspect most eye gels would do the same thing straight from the fridge and it may be the coolness that is helping!!
I know that teabags will also help - I guess you could wet some, put them in the fridge and have a double whammy! The caffeine in them helps.

Also depends how you are sleeping i read about this somewhere something about sleeping on a proper pillow rather then a flat one i.e. head slightly raised but this may not be the cause of your problem dunno  |

I hope this would help.
I'd recommend more sleep and drink lots of water. |
