Two cool cucumber slices placed over your eyelids can constrict blood vessels because of their astringent properties. Lean head back and rest cucumbers on eyes and relax while they do their work.
Mix one teaspoon of salt in a pint of hot water; apply pads soaked in the saline solution on the puffy areas.
Two moistened caffeine tea bags will work the same way by reducing puffiness because caffeine constricts blood vessels and reduces swelling.
Try taking a few egg whites, stiffly beaten, with a drop of witch hazel and apply with a brush under the eyes to make the skin feel tighter and look less puffy.
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.
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.
Lie down for 15 minutes, preferably in a quiet room, with either a slice of raw potato or cucumber over your eyes, or cotton wool pads soaked in witch hazel (which reduces swelling) or iced water. Your eyes will sparkle and any puffiness will magically disappear!
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.
Some more remedies for puffy eyes
Take about 20 leaves of 'Afmod', boil them in water and allow them to cool down. Then strain them and after chilling them apply it on your eyes. This will help in diluting the color of your eyes.
Black rings Around the Eyes: If it is due to anemia, get your blood checked. At times due to poor digestion, lack of clean ambience, eating lot of starch and sugar apart from drinking excessive alcohol, cause this problem. You must have a lot of those vegetables which are rich in vitamin 'A'. Washing your eyes with chilled rose water, henna-water and the concoction of 'alder' flowers remove these dark rings. In case the 'alder flowers' be not available, you can replace them with rose flowers. Wash your eyes repeatedly with cold concoction thus prepared. This treatment will also help.
