How to Reduce Swollen Eyes

Puffy, swollen eyes can be very unattractive, no matter what the cause. Some women just try to mask this swelling with expensive make-up, often to no avail. Your best bet is to alleviate what is causing the swelling instead of merely covering it up. With a few tips you can reduce and alleviate swollen eyes.

Things You'll Need

• Cold Compress
• Hemorrhoid cream
• Cucumber slices

Instructions

1. Gently tap at the skin under your eyes to encourage a release of the fluids that are causing the swelling.

2. Place a cold compress on your eyes for a few moments and then remove it. You should already begin to see the puffiness deflate a bit.

3. Lightly place a cucumber slice on each eye. Relax with your eyes closed for 10 minutes and then remove the cucumber slices.

4. Gently pat hemorrhoid cream under each eye to significantly reduce swelling and puffiness under the eyes. Within 20 minutes you will have significantly reduced or eliminated the swelling.

Tips & Warnings

• Getting the standard eight hours of sleep is also good prevention for eye swelling.
