I have allergies and they are making my eyes look tired how do i make my eyes look less tired?

Control inflammation: Start by getting help (see a board-certified allergist) to control nasal inflammation. 'allergic shiners' (darkened areas of skin around the eyes) result from chronic mid-face venous congestion secondary to such inflammation. Cosmetically, you may use concealers etc. Select (hypoallergenic) cosmetics carefully if you have severe allergies!

OTC meds won't work: Dr. Madaan is correct about inflammation leading to increased nasal blood flow & congestion. Blood leaving the nose passes through veins in the lower eyelids & cheeks. Fluid leaks out causing edema. See your pcp for nasal antihistamine sprays that reduce congestion & topical steroid sprays that control nasal inflammation. Get more sleep. Still looking tired? See your board-certified allergist.

Eye drops may help: Allergic eyes tend to be puffy and swollen, which can make the lids appear more closed than usual. Antihistamine eye drops can relieve the symptoms and improve the appearance of your eyes. Your eye doctor can prescribe a variety of different drops. If you take antihistamine pills, though, they may dry your eyes and make them look more tired, so if only your eyes are affected, stop the pills.

Cool compresses: Try cool compresses to reduce swelling and redness associated with allergies.
