Puffy Eyes: Home Remedies That Work - Part 2

Puffy eyes caused by aging, drinking, smoking, stress or anything else? This is part 2 of our article on powerful home remedies that actually 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 European folk medicine the potato is tried and true as a means to soothe painful joints, headaches, and other inflammatory conditions. Potato starch also acts as an anti-inflammatory agent to ease those 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 faucet and wait for the water to get cold. Rinse your face with several good splashes of cold water. The coolness of the water will constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling in under ten seconds. Plus, you'll be very awake by now!

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

Directions: Place 1/2 teaspoon salt into one quart warm water. Put cotton balls or facial pads into the solution. Gently squeeze out excess water, lie down and apply pads to eyelids. Leave on for about ten minutes. When done, you'll be amazed at your younger looking and de-puffed eyes.
