According to new research, puffy eyes are the fourth most searched-for skin concern in the UK, after hyperpigmentation, rosacea and dermatitis.
Puffy eyes and dark circles can be temporary results of tiredness or a change in lifestyle, but they can also become more common with age.
They can also cause further disruptions, such as painful swelling of the eyes, which could affect vision.
If this is the case, consult a medical professional. For other causes of dark circles, experts at beauty and wellness marketplace Fresha shared at-home remedies, such as two ingredients to look out for in eye creams.

They said: "If the puffy eyes are caused by tiredness, then there are various ways in which you can treat this at home.
"Gently using a jade roller or a gua sha tool that has been stored in the fridge can help to reduce the appearance of swelling under the eyes.
"Applying gel eye masks that have been chilled in the fridge can also visibly reduce the appearance of excess fluid retention under the eyes."
Cold tools can soothe the area and make swelling less visible. Eye creams can also help, but it can be overwhelming finding the right product.
With so many on the market, knowing what to buy can be a challenge, but the experts suggested two key ingredients to check for - caffeine and vitamin C.
They continued: “Caffeine eye creams are also highly effective for tired eyes, visibly reducing the appearance of puffiness and dark circles.
"These eye creams often contain other beneficial ingredients, such as vitamin C, which can help to perk up tired eyes.
"Ensure that you’re always applying under-eye creams gently to avoid worsening any puffiness."

GETTYIt is worth noting puffy eyes and dark circles can be the cause of diet choices, so try to limit salt if this is the case.
The beauty pros concluded: “Puffy eyes can also be linked to the over-consumption of salt, so it may be necessary to make some changes in your daily diet if you frequently suffer from under-eye swelling.”
Another way to minimise the appearance of tiredness is through makeup. A makeup artist has shared "easy, anti-ageing techniques" to help shape and fill eyebrows.
