Puffy eyes: Natural home remedies for puffy eyes/eye bags

Puffy eyes or eye bags can be a major setback especially when you have a great day ahead of you. I woke up with puffy eyes today, but I didn't let them dictate the beginning of my day because of a major photoshoot I have. I considered and used the treatments for puffy eyes available to me at home and that triggered my decision to write this post.

Some factors responsible for puffy eyes include; too much crying, hangover, stress, change in weather and even our genes. For me, I get puffy eyes when I have a hangover (that hasn't happened in a long time), when I'm really stressed and when I cry. Yes I cry... I'm not alien.
