I find myself staying up later and later each day and the need to get rid of my eye bags has led me on a journey of discovery. Eye bags are caused by retention of water under the skin around the eyes mostly due to stress and lack of sleep. Some eye bags result from crying too much or an accumulation of toxins in the body.
Here are some of the ways I have tried and found really efficient.
1. Place two cold, sliced cucumbers over the eyes until they warm up
2. place two metallic spoons in the freezer overnight then press them to your eyes until they are warm. I found this a bit uncomfortable but the results were amazing. this works anytime you have eye bags.
3. Place cold wet tea bags over the eyes and lie down for about 15 minutes
4. Drinking lots of water during the day and before going to sleep.This detoxifies the body and reduces the inflammation around the eyes. Although this process takes longer, hydration will also solve other skin issues you may have.
5. The most common cause of eye bags is lack of sleep. Getting the recommended 8-10 hours of sleep will easily get rid of those eye bags.
There are still other options to explore if the eye bags are caused more by hereditary factors. there is a cosmetic surgery procedure; blepharopasty where extra tissue and fats are removed to reduce the puffiness and give a more youthful appearance.
You can also get rid of your eye bags by reducing its swelling. You can do this by placing a cool fabric over your eyes, and placing an extra pillow to keep your head elevated.
