Get Rid Of Puffy Eyes Quickly

Splash Cold Water On Your Eye Area

Splashing cold water is a cooling method. It causes the blood vessels to constrict which in turn reduces the appearance of swelling. What if you don't like splashing water on your face?

Simple Tip
You can also use the spoon method. Put four spoons in ice water. When cooled, place two over your closed eyes. When the coolness wears off, simply replace them with the other two.

Next, place cooled tea bags over your eyes.

Why? Because tea contains tannins. The tannins cause the blood vessels to constrict.

Simple Tip
An alternative is to use potato slices. Potato slices contain enzymes that act as a natural anti-inflammatory.
