Libby has had puffy under eye circles for as long as she could remember. She used to try to shrink the bags in high school by applying frozen spoons or cucumber slices to the area. Since then, She's made attempts to get rid of them using lotions, potions, lasers, concealers, and even an injection of my own plasma. Although she had some success hiding those bothersome, bulging pouches, nothing has worked as a permanent fix.
She decided to try the Eminence Organics Hibiscus Ultra Lift Eye Cream for 30 days with a Gua Sha face massage tool, an age-old method that has been used for millennia.
What is the main cause of puffy eyes?
Puffiness under the eyes can stem from various causes, including heredity, aging, allergies, sleep deprivation, and lifestyle factors like high salt intake, alcohol consumption, and smoking.
Common Causes:
- Genetics and aging
- Allergies or lack of sleep
- Lifestyle choices (e.g., high salt, alcohol, smoking)
While some factors are unavoidable, others can be managed or reduced. Puffiness caused by fat deposits under the eyes can be more challenging to address.
The Natural Botox Plant - Hibiscus
Hibiscus is a powerful anti-aging ingredient that offers numerous benefits for the skin. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, it helps seal in moisture, keeping your skin smooth and supple.
Key Benefits of Hibiscus for Skin:
- Promotes elastin development for firmer, youthful skin.
- Inhibits elastase enzyme activity, slowing visible signs of aging.
- Supports skin hydration and suppleness.
- Backed by historical use in ancient medicine for its healing properties.
Hibiscus is especially effective in tightening the skin and enhancing its elasticity, helping you maintain a taut, youthful appearance. Its time-tested reputation and scientific support make it a powerful ally in skincare.

Why a Gua Sha for treating puffy eyes?
Gua sha is a Chinese medicinal technique that involves using a jade tool to scrape the skin. This multi-edged, smooth stone tool may be crafted from rose quartz, jade, or other semi-precious stones.
The under eye region is the best place to use a gua sha tool to minimize puffiness and promote a more youthful appearance. The tool's mild scraping promotes lymphatic fluid to migrate from your under eyes, reducing puffiness. The gua sha tool also promotes increased blood flow to the skin.
As Libby has dealt with puffy eyes since she was a teenager, she was determined to give this method a try.
The Jade Roller & Gua Sha are incredible tools to assist in enhancing the effectiveness of your beauty routine; promoting circulation and encouraging skin cell rejuvenation. Whilst also gently stimulating the lymphatic system to combat puffiness and water retention on the face and neck.
Treating Puffy Eyes
Libby attempted applying the gua sha tool on her face in the past to help define my jawline and elevate the appearance of my cheeks. There have been some minor, transient changes to certain places' appearance, but nothing major. Similar to many face massage procedures consistency is important.
She first applied the Hibiscus Ultra Lift Eye Cream on her eyelid and the area beneath her eye. The eye cream is a light-textured eye cream with caffeine to minimize the appearance of puffiness and tighten skin tone, along with ice wine and green algae.
In addition, the eye cream applies cool and soothingly and has just the correct amount of slide to let the gua sha move over the sensitive eye area without pulling on the skin. She has used a lot of Eminence Organic Skin Care's eye products and adding gua sha elevates it to a new level.
She recommends apply a cold, newly frozen gua sha tool. This cold therapy trick lowers blood flow to the area, which helps to reduce swelling and inflammation. It also feels so wonderful.
Results After 30 Days
Libby admits that, after applying the gua sha procedure once a day for four weeks, either in the morning or at night, she's very pleased with the outcome.
Along with several other advantages, she has definitely noticed a decrease in the puffiness around her eyes. Even after a late night or a restless sleep, the eye area is brighter and appears more alert. She's noticed a positive difference in the appearance of her skin. The wrinkles and fine lines seem less prominent and her skin looks tighter.
Key Takeaways from Libby’s Experience:
- Significant reduction in puffiness around the eyes.
- Brighter, more refreshed eye area, even after late nights or restless sleep.
- Noticeable improvement in skin appearance, with reduced wrinkles and fine lines.
- Skin feels tighter and looks more youthful overall.
