What's a home remedy for puffy eyelids?

Answer by  BethT (222)

Slices of cucumber and used tea bags have long been used as quick-fix home remedies for puffy eyes. If you have cucumbers on hand, place a thin, chilled slice over each eye. If you choose to use tea bags, place a warm, damp bag over the eye and allow the tannin from the tea to reduce swelling.

Anything cold applied to the eyes can help relieve puffy eyelids. If your eyes have dark circles below them a frozen potato peel will help by taking out the antioxidants.

I know its totally cliche but i use cucumbers!! I guess you could use anything cold that brings down the swelling! There are also creams for that at walmart or a beauty store!

If you don't have an eye mask handy, put two spoons in the freezer for 10 minutes and then rest them on your eyelids for no more than 10 minutes.
