Facial swelling and puffiness can be so annoying. Whether it is just trying to look your best day-to-day, or needing emergency help for a puffy face before a big event, help is here! Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. If you are having puffy eyelids, consider buying some green tea. Steep the tea bags just as if you were making a cup of tea (hopefully you will also enjoy drinking grean tea!). Make sure the tea bags have cooled appropriately before you put them on your closed eyelids. Leave them on as they cool completely. The tea contains tannin, which is a natural astringent, helping to decrease the inflammation of your eyelids.
2. Ever wonder why so many women's facial advertisements have pictures of women with cucumber slices over their eyes? This is because cucumber also contains astringent properties, and is a proven reliever of puffiness affecting the eyelids. Cut two slices of cucumber, lie down or lay your head back and apply one over each closed eye. About 15 to 20 minutes later, you will notice visibly reduced puffiness.
3. Finally, if you're dealing with facial swelling over the whole face or much of the face, apply a cold compress to reduce the swelling. The coldness may be uncomfortable at first, but remember to lie back and relax - allow the compress to remain on for 10 or 15 minutes in order to get the maximum benefit.
