What are some tips for reducing eye swelling?

The condition of the eyes can have a great impact on people's appearance. For example, when the eyes are in a normal state, the person's image will look very beautiful and natural, but when the eyes are deformed or have other symptoms, the person's image will look very listless or funny. Among them, swollen eyes is the symptom with the greatest impact and needs to be dealt with in a timely manner. Let’s take a look at some tips for reducing eye swelling.

1. Ice cubes + eggs

Wrap an ice cube in an ice bag or towel and apply it for 3-5 minutes to constrict blood vessels and help reduce swelling.

You can use a towel to wrap some ice cubes or soak some cold water to apply it for a while, then after a while, put a boiled egg, let it cool, wrap the skin, and roll it on the eyelids. The swelling of the eyes will not go away quickly, the color will turn into a dark red, and eventually turn into purple. Don't rub or cry, as crying will make the eye congestion worse.

The correct way is to alternate between cold and hot compresses. Use a hot towel and a cold towel (preferably soaked in ice water) to apply to your eyes alternately, and the symptoms of swollen eyelids will disappear quickly.

2. Cooled black tea bags

Use a cooled black tea bag to apply to your eyes or wrap a cold tea bag in a towel and apply it to your eyes for 5 minutes. The tannic acid contained in tea is a good astringent and can effectively reduce swelling. But never place the tea bag directly on your eyelids, otherwise it will stain your eyelids yellow, and the tannic acid will irritate your eyes and cause discomfort. Don't rub it, otherwise it will make your eyes redder and more swollen. Apply cold compresses to both eyes 3 to 4 times to reduce swelling.

3. Dip the cotton swab in salt water or milk

Massage with a cotton swab dipped in diluted salt water can help relieve edema of the eye skin. You can also use a cotton swab dipped in ice milk and apply it on your eyelids for ten minutes. It feels cool and the swelling of your eyelids will go down. I believe you will feel refreshed! You can also use cold milk to cool puffy eyes.

4. Eat less salt

Many women begin to experience swelling in the second half of the menstrual cycle, most obviously in the eyelids, where the eyelids become puffy. In the second half of the menstrual cycle, you should pay attention to eating light food and limit the amount of salt.
