Medical Video: How to avoid swollen eyes in the morning after crying at night
Failure to pass the subject test, be left behind by a lover, be dropped from a position in the office, or die of a close relative. No matter how tough or how whiny you are, we've all cried for one thing or another. Crying is actually beneficial to humans, because by crying, the body releases adrenaline and cortisol, relieving the stress that builds up in your system.
You are relieved to have let go of all the emotions and pent-up feelings. Now is the time to remove the tears and refocus on daily activities. Then how to get around the swollen face, runny red nose, and puffy eyes - all the signs are crying out?
Before everyone around starts asking if you are okay - which can be very annoying - here are a number of quick ways to deal with puffy eyes after crying.
Tricks are quick and easy to overcome puffy eyes after crying
Relax your face and let the remaining tears that might still be flowing. Holding your breath and curling your facial expressions in such a way as to keep the recurrence of crying will make redness and puffiness more and more.
After crying completely subsides, immediately sits firmly (bending or covering the face with hands will cause fluid and blood to gather in the face), pull and breathe in a regular rhythm, deeply. Wipe off the rest of the tears on the cheeks, remove the mucus with a tissue or soft cloth. Then…
1. Compress cold water
Pour the water in a bowl until half. Then, put 4-5 ice cubes into the bowl. Take a cloth or tissue, dip it in ice water, then, starting from the inner corner of the eye, press under the skin until you reach the outside corner of your eye. Light massage for about 5 minutes. Repeat this procedure several times. Or, you can use your clean fingers, hold a few ice cubes, then massage your puffy eyes in the same way.
To combat redness in the white part of the eye, use generic eye drops. "One or two drops per eye is powerful enough to remove redness in the eyes," said dermatologist Debra Jaliman, author of Skin Rules, reported by Real Simple.
2. Compress tea
Tea bags help constrict blood vessels, thereby reducing swelling. The trick, dip two bags of tea in ice water for ten minutes, press into the skin under the eyes until you reach the outside corner of your eyes. Light massage for about 5 minutes. Repeat this procedure several times.
3. Compress cucumber or potato slices
This is a classic way that has become a hereditary guideline for many people. Cut two slices of cucumber or fresh potatoes, and stick them over each eye. Leave for 10-15 minutes.
Just like tea bags, the cold sensation of cucumber and potatoes will tighten blood vessels. In addition, cucumbers contain powerful antioxidants, while potatoes contain skin lightening enzymes called catecholase. Both have no effect on reducing puffy eyes, but starting "emergency therapy" with cucumber slices followed up five minutes later with potatoes will deflate the eye bags. Just in case, make sure your head rests firmly on the pillow. This position elevation is intended to prevent excess fluid from pooling on your face.
4. Compress the spoon
If you have enough time before returning to the crowd after crying, put the clean spoon in the refrigerator freezer for 10-20 minutes. Then, press the spoon gently directly under your eyes, starting from the inner eye and massage outwards. Take turns for the other eye.
At the same time, you can gently massage your nose for several minutes while closing your eyes. Focus on an area where a pair of glasses will rest. This helps reduce sinus pressure, which also reduces swelling.
5. Use a concealer
Hide the redness remaining on the face and under the eye area with color correcting concealer yellow or green. Apply on a problematic place, blend evenly. Finally, add powder or solid to "lock" the concealer in place.
While you are experimenting with these alternative ways, you must remember that going to bed immediately after crying can cause the eyes to puff even worse due to fluid collection because the eyes do not blink or move to tear. If you are sleeping, lying on your back, place a pillow - or several pillows - under your head as a support to allow more water to come out of your face and head.
