PUFFY EYES? - SOME GREAT AND EASY TIPS FOR DEALING WITH THEM

Make sure to be careful when applying any treatment–you don’t want to get anything inside your eyes.  Each of these treatments should be applied when you have a chance to rest with your head elevated for at least 10 minutes.

• Used Tea Bags (chilled or slightly warm–both work)
• Potato Slices (thinly sliced)
• Cucumber Slices (thinly sliced)
• Apple Slices (thinly sliced)
• Strawberries (mash then apply to the puffy area or you can make slices and apply)
• Plain Yogurt (dab over puffy area)
• Chilled teaspoons (rest directly on eye area for several minutes)
• Cold Compress spritzed with witch hazel water*
• Cold Compress spritzed with lavender water

*For the witch hazel water or lavender water compress, first soak the compress in cool water, ring out then spritz with witch hazel water or lavender water–just a light, even spritz will do. Witch hazel water can be found at organic or health food stores, your local pharmacy may carry it too.

Chilled eyemask and slices of cold cucumber work well
