Crying is a natural response to a range of emotions, but it can often leave us with puffy, red eyes. This can be especially frustrating if we need to attend a meeting, give a presentation, or simply go about our day. Fortunately, there are a few things we can do to reduce the appearance of puffy eyes after crying.
One of the most effective ways to reduce puffiness is to apply a cold compress to your eyes. The cold will help to constrict the blood vessels and reduce inflammation. You can use a cold washcloth, a bag of frozen peas, or even a cold spoon. Apply the compress to your eyes for 10-15 minutes at a time, and repeat as needed.
