To depuff eyes after crying, effective methods include:

• Applying a cold compress for 5-10 minutes on closed eyelids to constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling. This can be a cold washcloth, chilled cucumber slices, or a gel eye mask from the fridge.
• Using chilled caffeine-containing tea bags (green, black, or chamomile) on closed eyelids for 10-15 minutes to reduce inflammation due to caffeine's vasoconstrictive properties.
• Drinking plenty of water to flush out excess salt and toxins, which helps reduce fluid retention around the eyes.
• Gently massaging the eye area to encourage drainage of excess fluid from the tissues.
• Sleeping with the head elevated to prevent fluid pooling around the eyes.

Additional tips are avoiding rubbing the eyes, which can worsen puffiness, and using eye creams with caffeine if available. These remedies reduce swelling by cooling the skin, constricting blood vessels, and promoting fluid drainage, helping to restore a refreshed appearance after crying.
