l A black teabag soaked in cold water on each eye for 10 minutes will reduce swelling caused by fluid retention. Gently press from inner to outer corners to hasten drainage.
l Avoid salty foods, which cause the under eye area (and the rest of your body) to hold fluid.
l Drink plenty of water everyday to help flush out salt and check the sodium levels on the food you plan to eat.
l Sleeping flat and on your front results in poorer circulation and allows fluid to collect around your eyes. Sleep on your back instead and use a pillow. In some individuals, not getting enough sleep may cause puffy eyes.

NB: If the problem persists, see your general practitioner.
