For most part, puffy eyes are caused due to excessive shedding of tears. If this is indeed your problem, then the first thing you must do is to stop crying. This will, naturally, resolve the issue. For eyes that have turned puffy due to crying, you should apply cooling slices of cucumber or apple to them. This will help to bring down the puffiness almost at once. You can also place chilled tea bags on closed eyelids for about 10 minutes. Use many pairs of bags as they tend to get reduced to room temperature once placed over your eyes very quickly. Make sure you wash your eyes with cool water before you try any remedy on them in the first place. This will also help to reduce the swelling. Keep in mind that whatever you use is first chilled, because the low temperature will rapidly reduce the swelling. In fact, one of the most highly effective remedies for tired eyes is to splash cool water on to them continually. This will make a huge difference and will also reduce any redness you may be facing. Pour a few drops of rose water into your eyes and let them rest with this. Rose water will help to rest your tired eyes and will also cool them, which is required for puffy eyes. But do remember that it is extremely important you buy pure rose water. Any fake version could end up damaging your eyes.
