How to cure puffy eyes

A lot of our readers have asked for solutions to puffy eyes. Following tips are some of the tips that have helped our friends in reducing puffy eyes:

Place cold cucumber slices on your eyes. It is the cold temperature that is helping rather than the product itself. The aroma, however, can be soothing and relaxing. Slice them into discs and let them float in cool tap water for a few minutes. Shake them off well before applying to your eyes.

Use cold, refrigerated used tea bags. Like the cucumber slices, the coolness reduces circulation, but the tea actually has a slightly astringent (tissue-shrinking) effect as well.
For a less messy alternative, try putting 2 metal tablespoons in the fridge and use them daily by placing the backs against your eyes.
Rinse your face in cool water and pat dry.
Furthermore, get good sleep, elevate your head while sleeping and amongst other things reduce salt intake, drink cabbage or cranberry juice and exercise regularly.
