Natural Herbal Home Remedies For Puffy Eyes

• Thin cucumber slices used as compresses over closed eyes will relieve sore, puffy eyes.

• Two moistened caffeine tea bags will work the same way by reducing puffiness because caffeine constricts blood vessels and reduces swelling.

• Take a metal spoon and run it under cold water. Place the metal on the puffy area for at least 60 seconds.

• A few egg whites, stiffly beaten, and applied with a brush to the face and under the eyes will make the skin feel tighter and look less puffy. Add a drop or two of witch hazel which also reduces swelling and will keep the egg whites from drying to rapidly.

• Making sure you are drinking enough water will also reduce eye puffiness. When a person is dehydrated the body starts storing water as a defense system and this will add to puffiness around the eyes.

• Contact lenses should be removed before going to bed, to avoid puffiness caused by lens irritation and drying.

• Rinse your face in cold water when you wake up or when puffy eyes attack anytime of the day to constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling. This a great energizer.
