Puffy Eyes: Home Remedies That Actually Work

July 21st, 2010 · No Comments

Part one of two.

Do you have puffy eyes due to aging, drinking, smoking, stress or just about anything else? Don’t despair – there is help and it’s free! The four remedies listed below are free and easy to do and will go a long way in reducing your puffy eyes.

1. Green or black tea. Caffeinated teas help constrict blood vessels and diminish swelling (due to aging, smoking, stress, etc), while herbal teas (especially chamomile) contain anti-irritants that soothe and reduce puffiness.

Directions: Steep 2 bags of your choice of tea in hot water for 4-5 minutes. Let cool until the bags are comfortably warm to the touch. Lie down, close your eyes, and place a tea bag over each eye; then cover with a soft cloth. During hot months, put the cooked tea bags in the refrigerator and apply to eyes when needed for a refreshing, de-puffing experience.

2. Spoons. If you’re in need of a super-quick reduction of puffy eyes, teaspoon-size spoons, believe it or not, work miracles.

Directions: Place 4 to 6 spoons in the fridge. Lie down, close those eyes, and put one tea spoon on each eye. As the spoons warm, replace them with cold ones from the refrigerator (or if more convenient, keep them wrapped in an ice-pack).

3. Cucumber. This is perhaps the best-known remedy, known by supermodels as a sure-fire and super-quick way to reduce puffiness right before a photo-shoot. The cucumber’s contracting qualities cause your blood vessels to constrict, quickly and dramatically reducing puffy eyes.

Directions: Lean your head back, put a slice on each closed eye, and relax for five to ten minutes while the ‘cumbers cure your puffiness.

4. Egg whites. This one’s a real souffl for the face with amazingly age-defying benefits. Also wonderful for reducing crow’s feet!

Directions: Beat one egg white until stiff. Apply with a brush or soft cloth around eye areas (inner and outer) as well as along your cheekbones. Leave on for ten minutes. Wash off by spaying the egg white with water,then use use cold water on a cotton ball or washcloth to remove.
