Puffy eyes and Rogaine foam 5%; under eye area makes me look like I have dark circles. Is there anything I can do to avoid this?

I started using Rogaine foam 5% for women 2 weeks ago. I apply 2-3 hours before going to bed on dry scalp and I try to stick to the 1/2 capful even though it's difficult to measure exactly. For the past week, I noticed that my eyes look a little puffy, on the eye lids but also the under eye area which makes me look like I have dark circles. Is there anything I can do to avoid this? Its the only side effect I'm currently experiencing.
