Cucumbers have compounds that soothe, reducing swelling.

]]> 87472 2 47 Tip Sleeping on two or three pillows keeps fluids from pooling under your eyes, preventing puffiness before it starts.

]]> 87473 3 53 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/217999/53.jpg Apply cold milk Pour very cold milk onto two cotton balls and apply them to your eyes for about 15 minutes. Many of the components of milk – such as lactic acid, vitamins A and D, and proteins –calm swollen skin.

]]> 87474 4 66 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/217999/66.jpg Massage your eyes Gently massage both your upper and lower eyelids with your fingertips for a few minutes, which will break up the fluids trapped around your eyes. Just don’t rub, which can make puffiness worse.

]]> 87475 5 78 Tip If puffy eyes are a frequent problem, try cutting back on salty foods and alcohol; both make you retain fluids.

]]> 87476 6 84 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/217999/84.jpg Splash yourself Splash your eyes with very cold water several times, or dunk a washcloth in cold water and place it on your eyes for a few minutes. If you can stand it, put some ice cubes in the washcloth. The cold helps drain the fluid.

]]> 87477 7 97 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/217999/97.jpg Pass the peas Grab a bag of frozen baby peas, let it thaw for several minutes, and put it on your eyes. Those little peas will settle into the nooks and crannies around your eyes, getting the cold right to the source. Wrap a soft, thin cloth around the plastic package to protect your skin from the packaging.
