How to Use Cold Spoons for Puffy Eyes

Press chilled metal spoons against closed eyes for 30 seconds to reduce puffiness through vasoconstriction.

  1. Chill the spoons. Place two metal spoons in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes or freezer for 2-3 minutes. The metal conducts cold efficiently, creating the temperature contrast your under-eyes need.
  2. Position correctly. Lie back and place the curved side of each spoon over closed eyelids, covering the entire eye area including under-eye bags. The spoon should feel cold but not painful against your skin.
  3. Apply gentle pressure. Hold for 30 seconds, applying light pressure to encourage lymphatic drainage. The cold constricts blood vessels while the gentle pressure helps move accumulated fluid.
