Do you have puffy eyes caused by aging, smoking, stress, drinking or just about anything else? Not to worry - there is help and it's free! The 4 remedies listed below are free and easy to do and will go a long way in diminishing your puffy eyes.

1. Green or black tea. Caffeinated teas help constrict blood vessels and diminish swelling (due to aging, smoking, stress, etc), while herbal teas (especially chamomile) contain anti-irritants that soothe and reduce puffiness.

Directions: Steep two tea bags of your choice in hot water for four to five minutes. Let them cool down until they feel comfortably warm to touch. Lie down and close your eyes. Now put one tea bag over each eye. Cover them with a soft cloth. In hot weather, place the boiled tea bags in your fridge and apply to eyes when you need a cool, refreshing, de-puffing experience.

2. Spoons. If you're in need of an ultra-quick reduction of your puffy eyes, tea spoons, believe it or not, work amazingly.

Directions: Place 4 to 6 spoons in the fridge. Lie down, close those eyes, and put one tea spoon on each eye. As the spoons warm, replace them with cold ones from the refrigerator (or if more convenient, keep them wrapped in an ice-pack).

3. Cucumber. This is perhaps the best-known remedy, known by supermodels as a sure-fire and super-quick way to reduce puffiness right before a photo-shoot. The cucumber's contracting qualities cause your blood vessels to constrict, quickly and dramatically reducing puffy eyes.

Directions: Lie down, close your eyes and place a thin slice on each eye. Relax for five to ten minutes while the cucumbers cure your puffiness.

4. Egg white. Here is a real souffl for your face with incredible age-defying benefits. This one's also great for reducing crow's feet.

Directions: Beat an egg white until it nearly forms soft peaks, and apply with a brush or soft cloth around your eye, along your cheekbone and outer eye area. Leave on for 10 minutes. Remove by spritzing the egg white with water and then use cold water on a cotton ball or washcloth to gently remove.
