New Delhi: Puffy eyes put you in embarrassing situations as they make it impossible for anyone to feel fresh and alert in the morning. Since eyes are one of the most beautiful features of any individual, it is essential to give your puffy eyes a lift.
Cold spoons to the rescue
This one might come across as a little bizarre but freezing two spoons in the refrigerator and placing them on your eyes for 10 minutes can help reduce the swelling under eyes because the chill from the spoons essentially constricts the blood vessels. Make sure you place the rounded part of the spoon on your eyes for actual impact.
Put teabags to the task
Dr Blossom Kochhar, founder of Blossom Kochhar Aroma Magic suggests soaking two tea bags in water, adding a pinch of salt, and putting them over your eyes for 15 to 20 minutes. Tea has anti-inflammatory properties and is full of antioxidants that fight free radicals known to break down skin cells. The caffeine in the tea also helps with constricting the blood flow to reduce the swelling.
Cedarwood essential oil can help too
According to Dr Kochhar, applying a concoction of salt and water, with a few drops of cedarwood essential oil can soothe those puffy eyes. When done over time, it can show good results and get rid of puffiness.
Alternatively, you can try witch hazel
Soak a cotton ball in witch hazel and apply it under your eyes. Keep it on for five to 10 minutes before washing off. The astringent properties of witch hazel work wonder on inflammation as well as redness, making it the perfect choice for dealing with puffy eyes.
Egg whites can do the job!
Yes, you heard it right! All you have to do is whisk two egg whites till they’re smooth and apply it to the under eyes. Wash once dry. Egg has excellent astringent properties that can tighten the skin and make your puffy eyes vanish.
