Remedies for Puffy Eyes

Puffy eyes can be caused by a number of reasons; crying, lack of sleep, allergies, drinking, and swimming just to name a few. Just as there are a number of things that can cause puffy eyes, there are a number of remedies that can be found as well.

Puffy Eye Remedies:

Okay girls before you read on i found the best thing for puffy eyes are these special pads enriched with vitamins and antioxidents that work wonders - from what I've seen they work the best. I've included in this paragraph links to find eye pads and also home remedy link sites as well. Don't forget to check out the video below either...

1. Lightly press a cold metal surface against the puffy part of your eyes for about 60 seconds this works best when using a using a metal spoon that has been soaked in ice water.

2. For a number of years hemorrhoid cream has been used to reduce swelling in the other various areas of the body. This same cream works wonders on the eyes as well, especially if is has the ingredients of yeast and shark's liver oil. Never apply directly onto the eyelid though or your puffy eyes will be the least of your troubles.

3. Eyes that are sore, tired and puffy can also be rejuvenated with thin cucumber slices kept fresh in cold water and placed over the closed eyes as a compress (yes I know it sounds pre-Madonna but even that's okay once in a while).

4. Tea is a great way to remove puffiness as well. Make sure two tea bags are thoroughly wetted with cold water and then place them on your eyes for about 10 minutes. You can press from the inner to the outer corner of the eye if you choose. Although tea with caffeine causes the blood vessels to constrict thereby reducing the swelling you can use any type of tea as teas are full of antioxidants.

5. Excess salt causes your body to hold fluids, so you need to stay away salty foods period - no good can come from them.

6. You can also elevate your shoulders and head which will assist in keeping the fluids from settling around your eyes thus helping to keep the swelling down.

7. Egg white and witch-hazel each help to reduce swelling, you can use the two together and create a mask to help reduce the swelling if you like. Take some egg whites and beat them until stiff, add a few drops of witch hazel to keep the egg whites from drying to quickly, use a brush and apply to the face and under the eyes. This is also a good way to tighten up your skin although I'm not sure the effects are permanent it is nice to do before going out with your friends.

8. Lack of fluid intake will also consequently cause your body to store excess water because it feels dehydrated. So make sure that you are drinking plenty of water everyday and even more if you go out drinking with your friends or running a marathon.

9. Remove contacts lenses before sleeping. Even lenses that are prescribed to wear 24/7 should be removed as they can cause irritation and make your eyes puffy - plus why do you need to wear them to sleep I've never heard of vision affecting your sight in your dreams.

10. When you first wake up, rinse your face with cold water to reduce puffy eyes as this constricts the blood vessels and lessens the swelling, it also helps to wake you when you are having a hard time getting up. This can be done throughout the day as needed also.
