Dip two metal spoons into cold water. Freeze them for a few minutes, and apply them to your eyes; the spoon shape will fit perfectly into the area around your eyes, and the swelling will go down
Splash your face for up to 5 minutes with water including your eyes.
Take Raw cucumber slices, or potato slices, or apple slices and place them on closed eyes and lie down for five minutes
Mix one teaspoon of salt in a pint of hot water; apply pads soaked in the saline solution on the puffy areas.
.... best remedy
Drink lots of water, avoid salt, which leaches water out of cells.

Soak some tea bags (regular tea) in water then apply them to your eyes. The tanic acid in them reduces the puffiness. You can also try the trick the models use - Preparation H! Apply it at night because it's very greasy but it's made to reduce swelling and works well. Gently wash it off in the morning.
