Wipe Out Wrinkles – FREE - Try Dermitage Dual-Action Wrinkle Reducer & Instant-Lifting System.

Puffy eyes due to stress, aging, smoking, drinking or just about anything else? Here’s part 2 of our article on home remedies that work.

Today we start with the common potato. Always underrated, this starchy gravy-mate has a large spectrum of healing and anti-aging qualities, including pampering your puffy eyes.

In large parts of Europe the potato is tried and true as an agent to soothe an aching head, painful joints as well as other inflammatory conditions. Additionally, potato starch works as an anti-inflammatory agent to ease your puffy eyes.

Directions: Peel a potato (medium size), wash it and dry off. Grate the potato to a fine pulp. Put the pulp in a clean cloth/thin towel and fold it to make a poultice. Close your eyes, and put the poultice on them for 15 minutes. Enjoy those de-puffed eyes.

Cold water rinse. My personal experience with this one is amazing. On workday mornings when you just have a few minutes to get ready, you have no time to luxuriate with potatoes and cucumber slices, but don’t despair. Cold water works in seconds!

Directions: Turn on your faucet and wait for the water to get cold. Cup your hands, fill them with water and hold onto your face for several seconds. Repeat twice. The coolness of the water will constrict your blood vessels and dramatically reduce swelling in a few seconds. Plus, you’ll be awake by now!

Salt. Yes salt. Pepperoni pizza, chips and other salty foods often cause puffy eyes. However, salt by itself is wonderful for reducing them!

Directions: Mix 1/2 teaspoon salt into 1 quart warm water. Soak cotton balls or facial pads into the solution, then lie down and apply pads to your eyelids. Leave on for at least ten minutes while keeping the pads in place. When you’re done, you’ll be amazed at your younger looking de-puffed eyes.
