Eye De-Puff Press
Morning puffiness under the eyes is usually fluid that pooled overnight, not fat or ageing. The Eye De-Puff Press uses light tapping along the orbital bone — where lymph vessels sit close to the surface — to encourage that fluid to drain.
How to Do It
Using ring fingers, lightly tap around the orbital bone, from inner corner outwards and under the eye.
Why It Works
Manual lymphatic drainage techniques, even simple ones like light tapping, are used clinically to reduce localised fluid retention, and the thin skin under the eye responds quickly.
Benefits
- Reduces the look of morning puffiness within minutes
- Uses the ring finger — naturally the lightest-pressure finger
- Great paired with a cold eye cream or gua sha tool
FAQ
When is the best time to do the Eye De-Puff Press?
First thing in the morning, before makeup — this is when overnight fluid retention is most visible and the technique has the most noticeable effect.
How hard should I press?
Very lightly — the skin under the eye is thin and fragile. Tapping, not rubbing or dragging, is the key technique.
