Puffy eyes are usually caused by lack of sleep, a diet high in salt or improper contact lens fit.
if those are one of the causes then all you have to do is to sleep mpre, reduce salt intake or get better contact lenses.
you can reduce puffy eyes by using cool cucumber and place it on top of your eyes. cut them in half to make sure your eyes are completely covered under the cucumber.
dry and scaly? never really heard of that but vaseline works. just apply a dullop on the dry skin and you’ll be fine!

At your age you should consider to starting using a system that will help your restores and relax your skin, while keeping its young appearance, it is ok to start using a good moisturizer and eye cream…don’t ever put moisturizer on your eye area, because that creates more puffiness, since that is nothing else than excess of water. You should consider laying off junk food like chips…too much salt.
I could provide you with a free sample of a great system, for people your age that you will love. Botanical, vegan and has many other great benefits. Let me know if you are interested.

Try this.
Adapted from The Herbal Home Spa, by Greta Breedlove (Storey Books, 1998).
Nobody looks good with puffy bags or dark circles under their eyes, but how to get rid of them?
SIMPLE SOLUTION: Well, this is the easiest remedy I’ve ever run across, and it really works!
I was so surprised by the single kitchen-cupboard ingredient that this How-To calls for–it’s not a cucumber, and you’re sure to have one on hand. Find out the secret here:
Raw potato slices will help tighten baggy, puffy eyes. All you need is a potato and a knife or slicer!
To Make:
1. Slice 1/4 potato to fit over your eyes.
2. Cut 2 slices or, if you prefer, 5 to 10 very thin slices, several for each eye. Either method works.
To Use:
1. Spritz eye area with water.
2. Lying down, place the potato slices on your eyelids and leave in place for at least 10 minutes for best results.
Then prick a vitamin K capsule and apply the oil to under the eye. Leave it on all night.
Hope this helps!!!
