10 clever uses for salt
Deflate puffy eyes
Oof, there’s no question you had a good cry last night! Here’s an easy way to get rid of the evidence: Mix ½ teaspoon of salt into a bowl of warm water and soak a washcloth in the solution for a few seconds. Now lie down on your bed or a couch, drape the compress over your closed eyelids and let it sit for about five minutes. The salt will draw moisture out of your skin so it firms up, while the warm water tames inflammation. Re-soak the cloth and repeat two more times, and your puffy eyes should be gone.
