  Someone may easily get the swollen eyes after the crying because of the too thin blood capillary. However, it may get released after a day. If you want to let them get down quickly, you may use the warm cloth to cover on the eyes to release the symptom. You may change the cloth after ten minutes.

  It may take about thirty minutes for your swollen eyes to go down from crying. I recommend you four means to reduce your swollen eyes. First, you can apply a bag of milk from fridge on your swollen eyes for 20 to 30 seconds. And then take it down and after 3 or 5 seconds you can apply it on your eyes again. Repeat this action for 1 to 2 minutes. Second, peel a potato and put pieces of them on your eyes. After 5 to 10 minutes, use some cold water to wash your face. Third, use a piece of thin cloth to wrap some overnight tea-leaves and then do some massage around your eyes with it for 10 to 20 minutes. At last, wash your face with cold water. Remember, when you use the above solution, you should walk around instead of sitting around. Fourth, close your eyes and roll a boiled egg or a warm towel around your eyes. But if you employ this method, it will take longer to reduce your swollen eyes. Just take it easy. These swollen eyes will disappear for a short time.

  The best remedies for puffy eyes include cold green tea bags, cucumber slices and potato slices. However, these remedies require an extended period of time on the eyes to work. When short on time, put six spoons in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, and then rotate them as each spoon heats up with use; the cold will tighten up the skin and relax the blood vessels, which reduces the look of puffiness.The benefit of tea bags and cucumber slices are their antioxidants, enzymes and astringent properties. They help improve circulation in the area, reduce swelling and help draw out the redness in the skin. Potatoes have a lightening effect on the skin, which helps with the redness and also dark circles. If there is time, it is best to start with green tea bags or cucumber slices, and then follow that up with potato slices.
