Puffiness underneath eyes - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

I'm sorry if this question has already been asked but I wake up every morning with puffiness underneath my eyes. I mean alot of swelling. I'm starting a new job next week and I will be getting there at 7:30am. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of these. Some one mentioned hemmoroid ointment, just a dab rubbed in to take down the swelling.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Icy cold water in a zip bag. Hold it on them for like 10 minutes and it helps significantly

Chilled cucumber slices work well.

Preparation H Ointment (not cream) does work, but it is greasy and worse, it stinks! It smells like fish oil. I've heard that the cream, which does not smell bad, also does not work - so maybe it's the fish oil that works. Anyway, it's not a permanent fix, you have to do it every day.

You could try putting two spoons in the fridge before you go to bed and when you wake up, put the backs of them against your eyes.
