For a quick fix, place two spoons in the freezer for 20 minutes, then hold them under your eyes. The cold will temporarily cause the blood vessels under your eyes to constrict and thus reduce the swelling. For an everyday solution, buy an eye cream that contains caffeine. Not only is using an eye cream one of the best things you can do to fight off wrinkles, but the caffeine in the cream will help to decrease the swelling. Apply morning and night.

Use a pillow when you sleep. Keeping your head elevated above your body discourages fluid from accumulating in the eye area at night. Sleep on your back whenever possible.

Chill and slice a cucumber and place the slices over your closed eyelids for ten minutes. The high silicon and water content as well as the ascorbic acid and caffeic acid help to reduce water retention, while moisturizing the delicate skin when applied topically.

Dip a cotton pad in ice water and wring out lightly. Place over your closed eyelids for up to ten minutes at a time. The cold will help constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling.
- 4
Always remove all eye makeup before going to bed at night to keep the glands in the eyelids from becoming blocked. If you continue to suffer from swollen eyes, consider changing makeup brands or switching to a mineral-based makeup.
- 5
Cut down on your salt intake. Excess salt in your diet will cause water retention and can manifest as puffiness around your eyes, where the skin is thin and delicate.
- 6
Drink enough water. When your body becomes dehydrated, it begins to retain water and can cause the skin around the eyes to swell.
- 7
Place cold tea bags on your eyes for ten minutes. Prepare them by soaking them in cold water for fifteen minutes and squeezing out the excess liquid, or you can save them in your refrigerator for later use after removing them from your morning cup of tea. Both black and green tea contain caffeine as well as tannic acid that will help eliminate swelling and water retention. Of the herbal variety, chamomile tea is particularly recommended because of its gentle, soothing properties as well as its antioxidants that reduce inflammation.
