Instructions on Alleviating Puffy Eyes Caused by Tears
When tears flow, it's natural to experience puffy eyes. Here are some tips and advice from healthcare professionals and experts on how to reduce swelling and inflammation around the eyes.
Cold Compress
Applying a cold compress can help alleviate swelling caused by crying. This can be done using an ice pack, frozen vegetables, cold cucumber slices, cold tea bags, or cold spoons. Apply the compress for 10 minutes, or until it becomes uncomfortable.
Sleeping Position
Dr. Bernstein suggests finding a sleeping position that works best for you to reduce puffiness in the morning. Elevation can help with swelling, so lying down completely flat is not recommended. Instead, try to stay upright and use extra pillows to prop your head up.
Face Roller
Using a face roller made from jade or rose quartz can also help reduce inflammation and puffiness around the eyes. When using a face roller, roll out from the center of the face and eyes in one direction, avoiding going back and forth.
Skincare Products
It's not advisable to try out a new skincare product around the eyes as the skin is thin and sensitive. However, many eye creams and serums contain ingredients like caffeine, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid that are designed to help reduce puffiness and brighten the area. Applying a chilled eye cream or eye serum can also help reduce puffiness.
Caution with Other Solutions
Dr. Bernstein advises caution when applying other solutions like witch hazel or hemorrhoid cream as there's no scientific data that they can help with puffy eyes. Some people may find relief with hemorrhoid cream, but this is not a general recommendation.
Emotional Release
Crying is a natural response and expressing emotions is okay. The length of crying can affect the duration of puffy eyes, but for most people, the best remedy is time.
When to See a Healthcare Provider
If you're concerned about puffiness, eye pain, or if it does not go away after a few days, it may be time to see a healthcare provider. The time it takes for puffy eyes to depuff can vary from person to person.
In summary, a cold compress, a good sleeping position, a face roller, and appropriate skincare products can help reduce puffy eyes after crying. However, it's important to use these remedies with caution and seek professional advice if symptoms persist or are accompanied by eye pain.
