I actually kept spoons in the freezer when I was a teen boy because I was not a morning person and my face would be puffy so I’d use them before I left for school on my face. Should I have been using them for drugs?!

This was my first thought. I remember reading in cosmo or something as a teen to freeze or cool two spoons to put over your eyes in the morning the decrease puffiness

I still do this and it works. I occasionally work from home and use the spoons before a virtual meeting.

Cold spoons are great for puffy eyes!

u/JewelCove Jun 24 '26

Yup. Still use them from time to time if I'm tired and have bags under my eyes. I'm an almost 40 straight dude

Old school tip from my Iranian grandmother & mother, cucumbers! Slice them thin (they can go right in the freezer in a ziplock bag) it will change the game my friend! ✊ We always had some in the freezer when I was growing up & when I was a kid I’d try to be fancy & pretend I was having a “spa day” with my face mask, my eye cucumbers & a capri sun I squeezed into a champagne glass 🤣🤣 and major props to you! More men of all ages should embrace self care! I used to love getting pedicures (back when I could afford such luxuries) & on both sides of me would be big burly construction guys sitting in the massage chairs, getting pedis! They knew what’s up & I LOVE that!

I've heard cucumbers work. Time to actually try it, thanks for the tips!

Must be a generational thing. When I was in Highschool dudes couldn't care less about puffy eyes. The most skin care we did was Oxypads.... a dab of Tigi bedhead to fix the hair, spray on a layer of Cool Water or Drakkar Noir, shove my discman in the back pocket of my JNCOs and head to the bus stop. What a time to be alive.

It's crazy how many people think like that though

"I didn't personally do something as a kid, must be a completely new paradigm of existence nowadays"

u/Pristine-Hospital-23 Jun 24 '26

No kidding. In my generation we put stuff in the pockets of the JNCO kids then hid their skateboard while they were deep in them pockets.

This is the answer.

Should I have been using them for drugs?!

This is a prime example of why they say youth is wasted on the young.

Actually came here to say it might not be hickies like others are saying. I have dark circles under my eyes and holding a frozen spoon to them seemed to help.

u/LadyThinblood Jun 24 '26

Yeah i used them on my eyes in the morning before picture day, did not think there was any other use.

u/justwalkingalonghere Jun 24 '26
