PUFFINESS UNDER THE EYES"
Puffiness around the eyes is generally due'either to severe eyestrain or lack of sufficient sleep, in young women, and, in the case of older ones, to excess of uric acid in the blood. An astringent lotion, applied with a small pad of cotton wool, night and morning, will help, to reduce the puffincss. Care must bo taken never to rub the skin around the eyes, as it is extremely delicate and very easily stretched. Always pat in whatever preparation is used around tho eyes, whether it bo a cream or a lotion, using the tip of the middle finger for creams and a pad of cotton wool for applying a lotion. Sponging the eyas and surrounding skin with very cold water will also help in reducing the swoolen appearance. When tho trouble is only slight, a lotion of tannic acid dissolved in spirit, painted with a .fino . camel’s hair brush over the skin, will often reduce the puffinoss. . ;. .
