👁️ Face Yoga for Eye Bags & Puffy Eyes
Updated September 2026
The honest take: Morning puffiness is mostly fluid — and fluid responds beautifully to gentle drainage work, usually within minutes. Structural under-eye bags (fat pads) don't move with massage; be suspicious of anyone promising that. For the daily puffy-morning kind, this works fast.
