Employ a cold compress. Dunk a washcloth in cool water (or wrap ice cubes in a washcloth) and place it on your closed eyes, suggests Dr. O'Donoghue. When the cloth gets warm, wring it out and repeat. Do this three or four times. "This takes just a few minutes, but it will help drain the puffs under your eyes," she says.

Apply a cold tea bag wrapped in tissue. Tea contains tannin, a natural astringent. "The tannin in the tea may help pull the skin taut and reduce puffiness," says Dr. O'Donoghue. Five minutes should be all you need.

It is a good idea to wrap the tea bag in tissue. Otherwise, the tea will stain your skin, creating a raccoon effect. And tannic acid (a derivative of tannin) can sting, explains Dr. O'Donoghue. So keep your eyes shut.

NO MORE PUFFINESS, EVER

So much for deflating puffy eyes today. To prevent future episodes:

Raise your head with pillows. Two or three pillows will help keep fluids from pooling under your eyes, says Monica L. Monica, M.D., Ph.D., an ophthalmologist in New Orleans and spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. But it takes hours.

Avoid salty foods and alcohol. Increasing the amount of salty foods (like chips and pickles) that you eat and drinking alcohol make you retain fluids that can collect in the eye area (and elsewhere), says Dr. O'Donoghue.

--------------------
Actually, it's debatable whether anything will help puffy eyes, which result from fluid retention caused by allergies, stress, etc. The ingredient in Preparation H that supposedly reduces swelling is phenylephrine HCl, which is used in nasal decongestants to constrict blood vessels. However, according to Paula Begoun, author of The Beauty Bible, Preparation H doesn't work where it's supposed to work, so what are the chances it'll work in the minimal concentrations you'd use on your eyes? Jane emphatically concurs, and Cecil politely assumes these women know whereof they speak.

Fill a zip lock bag of ice and cover it with hand towel. Place it over your eyes for at least 2o minutes. I will help with the puffiness. If that doesn't work, try taking a long shower. The steam and heat from the shower might clear your nostrils in case you eyes are puffy from allergies (sometimes we don't really realize we are allergic...but allergy season started 2 weeks ago...and a lot of people are experiencing side affects right about now).

Good luck!

Puffy is caused by lack of moisture and how you are sleeping. Sleep more on an incline because you are having fluids build up around your eyes at night. Use a good eye cream & then put a tiny bit of Vaseline over it to lock it in at night. This should help, but it may take a few nights for you to see an improvement.

Usually its almost impossible to get rid of the dark circles in just one application. You can help get rid of the dark circles over time by getting plenty of sleep, having a balanced diet of fruits and veggies, and keeping your skin hydrated. For a quick fix, by a cream (thick) concealer with a yellowish tone. This yellow tone will help even out the dark color under your eyes and make it less noticeable. You will want to by a thick cream concealer though because I have found liquid just doesn't give you adaquate coverage, and it wears off over time. Hope this helps!

I have heard that tea bags help. Steep a few tea bags and, when cooled, put the bags on your eyes. I think camomille is the kind you are supposed to use. Also, cold cucumber slices work. Just put them over your eyes and relax.

You can get one of those cold masks at just about any department stroe for under ten bucks. Put it in the fridge and just wear it until it gets warm. It should help.
