Taming Those Bags under Your Eyes

How to reduce the bags under the eyes? Many ask this question. There are few simple easy ways to do this. But before that, it is best to understand the problem first-eye bags.

Causes of Bags under the Eyes
There are several reasons as to why eye bags occur. Mainly, these bags are composed of fluid and fat. If you have eye bags, this could be hereditary. There are just some people who are born to a family where eye bags appear early on. Also, genes may dictate that the skin under your eyes be darker than most. If this is so, once you get bags under your eyes, it will be more pronounced. The skin under people's eyes is thin and beneath that are areas of purple, red, or dark. As this area becomes puffy, you will most certainly notice under-eye 'dark circles'.

Another reason for eye bags is aging. As mentioned, the skin under the eyes is thin. As you grow older, this will become thinner and looser. Elasticity of the skin will decrease. The skin under the eyes will then become baggy and darker. The bags can also appear under a person's eyes due to tiredness and lack of sleep. If you are exhausted, it follows that the face on your muscles will be tired as well. The skin under the yes would then droop and lose out on its tone. Aside from that, there is fluid retention. Every month, you would also have changes concerning your hormones. This can cause eye bags. Too much intake of salt is also a factor. Your eyes can also be puffy if you are suffering from allergies or perhaps dermatitis.

The Steps You Can Take
Since the bags under your eyes are due to fluids gathering there, you can reduce it by tapping your eye bags. Do this gently of course. You tap the bags under your eyes so that the fluids that are trapped there will be encouraged to flow somewhere else.

If the bags under your eyes are caused by fuel retention, there is a way to remedy this. Get a cooling substance, preferably a soothing one. Then apply this substance to the bags under your eyes, at about 5 minutes. Examples of these substances include a cold and damp cloth, tea bags that are chilled and also damp, and slices of cucumber. If you have a gel mask, have this refrigerated and then apply them to your eye bags. You can also use cool compressors. Apply these while you are on a sitting position.

Make sure you drink lots of water regularly. This will counter the excess salt in your body that may cause for you to bloat. For that matter, reduce the amount of salt you consume. Drink water, not soft drinks, alcohol, tea, or coffee. The latter substances will dehydrate you and worsening your eye bags.

When you sleep, have your head raised. A raised pillow would do, or you can have the head of the bed raised to stop fluids from accumulating under your eyes.
