Sometimes it is genetic, sometimes it is to do with lifestyle, and sometimes it can be a combination of both, but whatever the cause, it is a fact that some people suffer from puffy bags under their eyes more than others. Although this hardly ever tends to be a really serious medical issue, it can be something that affects self confidence and the way that you see yourself, so the more you can do to reverse these effects, the better. Here are some ways for how to get rid of the puffy bags under your eyes.
The first thing to do is make sure that you get at least eight hours of sleep per night, and the second thing to do is do that sleeping on your back! To give your face the best chance of not retaining any fluids and increasing circulation, you should sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated with the help of a good pillow. On your back is best because on your side can compromise circulation.
You want to avoid fluids settling in your face, but at the same time, you need to make sure that you are staying well hydrated! When you are dehydrated, your skin works harder to hold on to the remaining fluids, and this often shows itself in increased puffiness especially around the eye area. Get those eight glasses of water in your body per day and you won’t have to worry so much about bags.
Jade rollers were one of the big new trends of last year, but the fact is that can be really great for fighting puffy eye bags! The light pressure of the cool roller helps to massage the important areas, along with encouraging drainage of the lymphatic system and boosting circulation.
The cooler the area around your eyes is, the less puffiness you will experience. This is precisely the reason why you see women doing things like laying cucumber slices over their eyes, and even sometimes boiled and cooled down chamomile tea bags. Whatever works for you!
Make sure that you do the research when it comes to creams and over night gels, because sometimes they can contain chemicals and ingredients that you might be allergic to. If this is the case, then obviously the products are going to increase puffiness and irritation rather than curing it!
The sun does absolutely no favours for your skin at all, even on mild days when you aren’t worrying about sunburn. If you are outside, you should apply a layer of protection against UV. Your skin will definitely thank you for it in thirty years time when you are still fresh fresh-faced
