Let's take a look at the most popular lifestyle hacks around.

Diet
It's common sense that in general your skin will look clearer and younger if you follow a nutritious and balanced diet, but for the eye area, and to reduce puffiness specifically, you need to cut out as much salt as possible.

Food-Based Beauty Saves
You can whip up some amazing low-cost face treatments by ingredients from your fridge and Avocado, honey and cream mixes well to make great anti-wrinkle moisturizer, while shaved potatoes, sliced cucumbers and egg whites and all help reduce puffy eyes, bags and dark circles. Drinking lots of water can be tiresome but aiming for a glass an hour makes it easier to manage, and being hydrated has such a positive effect on your skin so it is worth it.
