Cucumber slices are an excellent cure. Slice some cucumber and place it over the eyes. Preparing a quick cucumber based moisturizer will help tone and moisturize dry skin around the eyes.
Cucumber in itself doesn’t have any magical ingredients that help reduce the puffiness. It is the large percent of water that cucumber is composed of that helps.
One other thing that helps is chamomile tea bag. In this case, you will need two tea bags. Prepare tea with them, and then pull them out and leave on the side until they cool down. You could also place them in a fridge to cool them down even more. Place them over the eyes.
