5 Ways To Remove The Bags Under Your Eyes

Last Update May 5th, 2019 / 1 Comment

Have you ever woken up in the morning to find huge, dark bags under your eyes?

They just scream “I didn’t get enough sleep last night and I’m tired!” For anyone on the move, this is a big no-no.

Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to reduce the appearance of these pesky under-eye bags.

Of course, the best way to keep bags from forming under your eyes is to fall asleep early enough each night.

Routine and Sleep to Reduce Eye Bags

Establishing good sleep hygiene by following the same routine each night, avoiding caffeine in the evening hours, and getting a little exercise each day can do wonders to increase the quality of your rest and reduce the bags under your eyes!

Visit an Allergist to Uncover Hidden Factors to Puffy Eyes and Eye Bags

In addition, paying a visit to an allergy doctor can do wonders to improve the appearance of under-eye bags.

Taking medication, keeping your clothes clean, and avoiding going outside during allergy season will stop swelling from forming under your eyes.

Use Teabags to De-puff Eyes

Another great way to lighten the dark bags under your eyes is to use teabags. The tannins in the tea will calm down the swelling and help to make you look refreshed.

This is an inexpensive fix that will work wonders. It’s pretty amazing what a simple teabag can do!

Stay Hydrated for Healthy Skin and Eyes

Finally, and perhaps the best way to keep those nasty bags from forming under your eyes, is to stay hydrated.

Drinking at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day will keep your skin looking supple and smooth.

If you don’t like the taste of plain water, you can use slices of fresh fruit to add some flavor as well as vitamins and minerals. Now that’s a good deal!

Q: Puffy eyes has always been my concern..No matter what I’ve tried, nothing seems to work..I even tried cold press, creams for under eye bags...It just doesn’t seem to work..Any other suggestions is most welcome..Many thanks Charmaine -Charmaine Emmanuel

A: Hi Charmaine, I can tell you that diet plays the biggest role for me when it comes to puffiness. You can use all the eye creams and serums you want, but if you're eating a diet that's not best for inflammation then you won't address it. I don't know how you eat, but I can tell you that a low carb/ keto -ish diet addresses my inflammation and takes my puffy eyelids away. If you're on a high carb/highly processed food diet you'll want to make some changes. Also, be sure and drink a lot of water. Your body will hang on to water/puffiness if you're dehydrated. If you already have a great diet and your eyes are still puffy, then you could have some sensitivities or allergies to certain foods or pollens in the air? That's what comes to mind from my own personal journey. Let me know if I can help you go low carb/keto if you want to give it a try. I definitely have a couple support products that I love to use that help me a lot. Thank you!! xo Rachel
