Puffiness usually means that you are retaining water. Believe or not, drinking more water and eating less salt will help alleviate this.
Here are a few other things to know and do:
Whether there is pain
The duration of the swelling
What makes it better or worse
Any other symptoms that accompany the swelling
Common Causes
Obesity
Allergic reaction (such as allergic rhinitis, hay fever, or a bee sting)
Conjunctivitis with swelling around the eye(s)
Stye with swelling around the infected eye
Malnutrition (when severe)
Sinusitis
Facial trauma or injury (such as burns)
Drugs including prolonged use or allergic reaction to aspirin, antipyretics, penicillin, sulfa, glucocorticoids, or other drugs
Blood transfusion reaction
Head, nose, or jaw surgery
Angioedema from any cause including reaction to contrast media from radiologic tests
Cellulitis
Tooth abscess
Home Care
Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling from an injury. Raise the head of the bed (or use extra pillows) to help reduce facial swelling.

I always use this technique: I Press a Tea Bag on Splotches ; If your skin is sensitive or just looking irritated and puffy for some reason, steep a bag of green tea for a minute or two, let it cool down, and dab it over your face. The antioxidants in the tea take down inflammation.

If your eyes are puffy, dab a little Preparation H or apply some drugstore name brand nose drops which contain phenylephrine. That chemical constricts blood vessels and should shrink the tissue underneath your eyes.

If you got hit in the face, use a cold compress. If it's just your eyes, use hemorroid cream wait a few minutes then wash off before applying make-up
