Spending too much time working on your computer, driving, report writing, studying or any activity that can cause eye strain can make your eyes become puffy and tired. Overdoing celebrations can also lead to sore eyes.

My eye pillows can work well to relieve tired puffy eyes. Simply place your eye pillow in the freezer for at least an hour (you may want to put your eye pillow inside a zip-lock bag to keep it clean) to allow the flax seeds to absorb the coldness.

Once your eye pillow has cooled down sufficiently, you can lay back and relax, placing the eye pillow over your eyes, from temple to temple allowing the cold, the subtle weight to all work their magic. The eye pillow will keep cool for about 30 minutes, so if you plan on laying down for longer than that, make sure that you have another one in the freezer ready to go. You can rotate your eye pillows so that you always have a cold one waiting for you in the freezer.

Enhance your relaxation time by listening to guided imagery or listening to some relaxing music.
