subject: How To Reduce The Appearance Of Puffy Eyes Quickly [print this page] There are plenty of home remedies that you can use to reduce the appearance of puffy eyes as well as long-term solutions to under-eye bags that you can use. There are both simple solutions that can be usee for an instant reduction in swelling that will last for a few hours, and solutions that can last for many years.
Home Remedies
One of the most used remedies for puffy eyes is the placement of cooled cucumber slices over the eyes. The reason that this solution works is because the coolness restricts swelling and reduces irritation around the eyes. You can also use chilled face creams, ice packs, and cold spoons for a reduction in under eye swelling. The results may last for one to three hours so you may want to be prepared to treat the condition by keeping your face cream and other supplies in the refrigerator.
Long term remedies for puffy eyes can include everything from getting more rest to surgery. If the cause of your under eye swelling is related to not getting enough sleep or a poor diet then you can easily remedy your tired eyes by making some lifestyle changes for the better. If your eye swelling is genetic or related to aging, however, you will need assistance from your physician to reduce the appearance of bags.
Lifestyle Changes and Surgery
Puffy eyes can be caused by your diet and sleep patterns. Most adults can get as little as seven hours of sleep per night and feel great, while others need more than eight hours. If you notice under eye bags, then the best thing to do is add sleep and increase water intake while reducing your sodium intake. If none of these methods work then you may want to consider talking to a surgeon about a procedure to reduce puffy eyes.
