Puffy Eyes: Home Remedies That Actually Work

Part 1 of 2

Do you have puffy eyes caused by aging, smoking, stress, drinking or just about anything else? Not to worry – there is help and it’s free! The 4 remedies listed below are free and easy to do and will go a long way in diminishing 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 going out and need a super-quick reduction of puffy eyes, teaspoon-size spoons, believe it or not, work wonders.

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. Cucumbers. This is the best-known puffy eye reduction remedy, well-known among supermodels as a guaranteed way to reduce puffiness right before a photo-shoot. The cucumber’s astringent qualities cause blood vessels to constrict, thereby diminishing puffy eyes.

Directions: Lie down, close your eyes and place a thin slice on each eye. Relax for five to ten minutes while the cucumbers 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 an egg white until it nearly forms soft peaks, and apply with a brush or soft cloth around your eye, along your cheekbone and outer eye area. Leave on for 10 minutes. Remove by spritzing the egg white with water and then use cold water on a cotton ball or washcloth to gently remove.
