Puffy eye remedies

Puffy eye remedies Posted on January 7, 20096 Comments

I was in kind of rough shape on Monday morning before I had to go to work, but I really wanted to go to work for the distraction it would provide. I managed to pull myself together a bit, but my eyes were bound to betray me. The weekend cry-a-thon made it look like I’d had a hearty shot of Botox directly into my eyelids and around my eyebrows. Although my face isn’t in the best shape, I’d like to think I’m not ready for Botox.

Anyway, I did what any blogger would do. I mentioned on Twitter that I was looking for a remedy for puffy eyes. And of course, I instantly had several. I haven’t had a chance to try any of them out, mainly because I haven’t been to the store to pick up the necessary ingredients. But, I thought I’d share with you the input I received. You never know when they may come in handy.

  • Cold cucumber slices
  • Cold teabags
  • Cold spoons (I think I sense a trend)
  • Preparation H
  • Cold washcloth (This is what I used, and it worked fairly well)
What would you add?

  1. Preparation H? I thought that was only good fro stopping tattoo’s from scabbing over 😮

  2. Preparation H does work, but I warn you, it is VERY greasy. Makes you look like you walked out of an oil factory and is a sure fire way to get zits in weird places.

    How about a bag of frozen peas, or any frozen veggie would work.

  3. I take the round cotton pads (like you would use to remove eye makeup) soak one with water, put a dry one on top and stick them in the freezer overnight. Use the side that wasn’t wet against your eyelid, it works wonders. One of my friends who works at a spa taught me this trick.
