How to Easily Get Rid of Eye Puffiness

Eyes can become puffy due to eye irritation, crying, lack of sleep or from fluid retention. Find out how you can soothe puffy eyes and reduce the uncomfortable inflammation.

Instructions

1. 

   Eliminate or reduce your alcohol intake. Alcohol is the number one cause of puffy eyes because it dilates the blood vessels around your eyes and causes the eye area to swell. Women should limit there daily alcoholic beverage intake to no more than two drinks per day and men should only consume up to three per day.

2. 

   Instantly reduce eye puffiness by using an anti inflammation eye cream. You can find quality eye creams at department stores, drugstores and pharmacies.

3. 

   Chill your eye cream before applying. A cold eye cream will not only soothe tired, puffy eyes but applying the cream cold will help to expedite puffiness.

4. 

   Use green tea bags to reduce eye inflammation. The caffeine naturally found in green tea bags will soothe and alleviate puffiness. You can apply the tea bags to your eyes either chilled or warm. Both ways will provide the same effects.
