Puffy eyes can be caused by a variety of factors, including allergies, lack of sleep, crying, and dehydration. They can also be a sign of an underlying medical condition, such as an infection or thyroid problem.

If you have puffy eyes, there are a few things you can do to get rid of them:

  • Apply a cold compress. A cold compress can help to reduce inflammation and swelling. You can use a bag of frozen peas or a cold compress from the drugstore.

  • Get enough sleep. When you're sleep-deprived, your body produces more cortisol, a stress hormone that can contribute to puffy eyes. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night.

  • Stay hydrated. Dehydration can also make your eyes look puffy. Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day, especially water.

  • Avoid caffeine and alcohol. Caffeine and alcohol can dehydrate your body and make your eyes look puffier.
