We have all had those mornings where we wake up and think, " WOaaaa my eyes are SO puffy!" Bummer. Never a great way to start your morning.
What causes puffy eyes?
- Dehydration. Maybe you had a little too much fun the night before. Time to hydrate with water...lots of it.
- Too much salt and/or processed food in your diet.
- Hormones
- Lack of sleep
- Heredity
- Allergies
- Certain medications
- A more serious medical condition. If you have constant puffy eyes it may be the underlying root of something else. Making an appointment with your Dr. is always a good idea just to be on the safe side.
Frozen spoons.
Place two metal spoons in the freezer or in a cup of ice. Place the backside of the spoons over your eyelids for about 6-8 minutes. Viola!

No way! I have got to do it. Yes, I do have puffy eyes some mornings--a very needy infant will do that to you. :) Thanks for the awesome tip!
I love this trick. This tip requires the perfect amount of time to sip a cup of tea and enjoy ~ 2 songs for those days when I can convince myself to get out of bed ten minutes early. Starting the day in a mellow way instead of rushing around would be such a nice routine to fall into!
Ugh, I wake up every morning with thee worst puffy eyes ever. It must be heredity or somehting bc I don't eat alot of salt. I've never tried the spoon trick but usually lay a cold washcloth on them for a few minutes. It actually feels really good.
What a great tip! I amy just try that one today because I really need it :)
Thank you so much for visiting my blog and commenting. I am so excited to read more of yours!

Good tip! My eyes are super swollen and puffy today because I have a bit of a cold, so I'm going to put spoons in the freezer now! :)
Cool! I will stick a couple in my freezer!
This is great! I love this tip! I will put some spoons in the freezer now.
Another reason for a puffy eye problem.... A newbie who thinks that 5am is the appropriate time to wake up and demand foooood! Btw, Abigail wanted me to tell you to tell Max that she misses him! :) Haha! Love you friend!
Love your tips. Thanks for sharing (:
What a great tip & so easy!!!
So perfect...I will definitely be using this helpful tip! Especially on Monday mornings :) (if only I saw this before I left the house today!) xoxoxo brynn
love this! I used to use cold soda cans :)
love this! it definitely works!
Bummer! I've tried this method before and has yet to work on me. Maybe I should just sleep more.

That is awesome!! I'm definitely going to try this soon! I look like a nightmare in the morning!
Oh, this is a great tip! My mom used to help me with this when I was a kid - I just liked the cool spoons on my face though ;)
What a great idea :)
Wow, it's so simple, can't wait to try it! I love all of these skin care posts by the way!
Great tip! I know I could use this from time to time...definitely!!
thank you for this!!!
I love that spoon tip. I do something similar that helps get rid of puffy lids. I dip my lash curler in icy cold water, pat dry and curl my lash. It feels soooo good getting my lashes curled while the metal parts reduce the puffiness of my eyes.
That's crazy! So going to try that.

So doing this! Love catching up on all your haps... 700 foloowers?! Dang girl. You're famous! :)
Oh my gosh! I love this post!! And I had no idea about the baking soda!! Thanks for the great tips!
Right immediatley after reading this I went to the freezer and put two spoons in the freezer to give this trick a go tomorrow morning because I ALWAYS have puffy eyes :( Its more to the side (its hard to explain). It could have something to do with the hormone thing though as after your previous skin care tips ive finally got all that sorted but it might still be balancing out. Your tips are lifes savers honest to god Lindsay!! Thank you :)

I love the frozen spoon trick! Works great! Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier!
ok i have question miss lady full of answers. :) what about puffy eyelids? my under-eyes don't really puff, but my eyelids are almost always swollen. i drink at least 32oz's of water daily. i recently was told that i had a severe sinus infection and had no clue that it was my sinuses making sick so i was thinking maybe it was my inflamed sinus. but…it's a daily thing. although they were more swollen while i was sick. it sounds like you're going to tell me it's prob. underlying medical issues…but would still love to hear your thoughts! thank you a million times. :)
Wow, thank you for sharing this little tip!
haha...this is so good! And cost nothing. I definitely need this.

Um, going to put spoons in my freezer now!
I love all your little tips! I definitely will try this!!
oh i needed this--like right now:) thanks girly~
Great tip! I will definitely be trying this SOON! ;)
Anna- Hmmm you know I don't really have a good answer as to why that is happening. It could be sleep position. Have you looked into that at all? It could also be a weird food allergy that you are not aware of. I am a big believer in getting tested for food allergies. It can solve a million things that you thought were unsolvable :)
You may want to make an appointment with your Dr. just to see if its something deeper.
Keep me posted. XO
huh. never thought about food allergies before! and i don't have any that i'm aware of…or any allergies at all…which seems weird. i should definitely ask the dr. about that. thanks so much!
Such a great tip!
Another amazing tip! I'm on week 3 of the vit c mask and see such a difference in my complexion. :)
