DEFEAT PUFFY EYES

the eyes tell all

Eyes are the window to the soul, however, when they are puffy, dark, and swollen, eyes can be the biggest sign that you are not feeling your best.

WHY DO WE GET PUFFINESS AROUND THE EYES?

The skin around your eyes is some of your most delicate. Mild swelling, pu ness, and dark circles, often caused by water retention or sagging skin, become more common as you age, and are often a result of an accumulation of fl uids in the surrounding tissue.

HOW CAN YOU REDUCE PUFFY EYES?

- Hydrate. Drink plenty of water every day to help fl ush out any retained liquid in your body.

- Reduce your salt, alcohol, and

ca eine intake, as each of these can trigger water retention. - Try easy home remedies, such as applying cold compresses, cucumber slices, or chilled tea bags to swollen eyelids. You could also try adding a gentle massage tool to your skincare routine. - Embrace mindfulness. Stress can have lingering e ects on our body, particularly your skin. Bringing calm and balance to your life can help minimise its physical e ects.

PUFFINESS CAN BE CAUSED BY

- Overconsumption of salt - Allergies that cause infl ammation and swollen blood vessels - Sinus problems - Fatigue and lack of sleep - Stress - Crying - Underlying conditions - Dehydration

There is a huge difference in Richard’s work. The teeth have to suit the patient. Often there has been some volume lost in the face before the client visits his studio. With all this (and more) in mind, Richard crafts dentures to enhance appearance, while at the same time improving fit and functionality.

footwear FABULOUS

As boots are pushed to the back of the closet, we ponder on what fabulous footwear to fi ll the vacated space and carry us through the season in style.

Debbie Reeves of Shoe Therapy says this summer’s superstars are sandals, slides and sneakers, and loafers have made a huge comeback (but did they ever really go away?)

“We love sneakers in all colours but white is bigger than ever. Don’t be afraid of white, we can help you instore with all the tips, tricks and products to keep white sneakers looking good as new.”

Shoe Therapy is known for curating footwear that is that little bit di erent, with eye-catching features such as pearls, studs, metallic accents, and a hint of animal print.

Debbie says favourite brands, such as Django & Juliette, Bresley, and EOS, tick all the boxes this season, as well as the all-important comfort factor.

Fuchsia is the hottest colour for sandals this summer, while tan and khaki bring wardrobe versatility, and gentle hues, such as lilac and blush, add a touch of romance.

“From casual to dressy, from jandals to heeled sandals, whatever the occasion, we have you covered,” Debbie says. Shoe Therapy, 178A Williams Street, Kaiapoi.
