Puffy Eyes: Home Cures That Work

Puffy Eyes: Home Cures That Work - Part 2

Tommy Engan

Puffy eyes due to aging, drinking, smoking, stress or just about anything else? This is part 2 of our article on excellent home remedies that work.

Today's remedies start with the common potato. Highly underrated, this wonderful gravy-mate has a vast array of healing and anti-aging qualities, including pampering your puffy eyes.

In many parts of Europe the potato is tried and true as a way to soothe headaches, painful joints and other inflammatory conditions. The starch in the potato also acts as an anti-inflammatory agent to ease your puffy eyes.

Directions: Peel a potato (medium size), wash it and dry off. Grate the potato to a fine pulp. Put the pulp in a clean cloth/thin towel and fold it to make a poultice. Close your eyes, and put the poultice on them for 15 minutes. Enjoy those de-puffed eyes.

Cold water. My personal experience with this one is incredible. Before going to work, when you just have a few minutes to get ready, you don't have time to pamper yourself with potatoes and cucumber slices, but don't despair. Cold water works in less than 10 seconds!

Directions: Turn on the water faucet. Wait for the water to get cold. Rinse your face with a few good splashes of cold water. The coldness of the water will constrict your blood vessels and reduce swelling in seconds. Always underrated - always works.

Salt. Yes salt. Pepperoni pizza, chips and other salty foods often cause puffy eyes. However, salt by itself is wonderful for reducing them!

Directions: Put 1/2 teaspoon salt into 1 quart of warm water. Dip cotton balls or facial pads into the solution, then lie down and apply the pads to your eyelids. Leave on for 10-15 minutes. When finished, you'll be amazed at your younger looking de-puffed eyes.
