Afternoon beauty fix: Relieve red, puffy allergy-prone eyes

I’m seriously suffering from allergies this summer. How can I relieve my red, puffy eyes? So long as flowers are in bloom and the wind continues to blow, your eyes run the risk of looking dry, puffy and fatigued. Even worse, the irritation makes wearing makeup almost impossible. Defend your eye area—and your ability to wear mascara—with a treatment that will soothe and hydrate your skin in the face of inflammation. We like Myfaceworks Revitalizing Eye ($35 for a box of 6, myfaceworks.com), because each silk-fabric mask is soaked in a tray of extracts to repair and prevent damage, plus it contains sodium hyaluronate to help smoothe out tiny wrinkles. Apply to clean skin for 15 to 20 minutes after cleansing or cutting the lawn.
