While under-eye bags may be genetic for some people, they can also result from medical conditions or a high-salt diet. Luckily, there are things you can try to tone them down.
Drinking between six and twelve cups of water daily, limiting your sodium intake, and eating more foods containing vitamin C can all help minimize under-eye bags.
Change Your Diet
For temporary under-eye puffiness, use a cold compress — an ice pack or tea bags — to reduce the blood flow to the area and decrease the appearance of inflammation.
Cold Compress
Chemical peels or procedures like dermal fillers or laser resurfacing treatments can help you achieve a smoother under-eye. Eyelid surgeries are also an option.
Procedures
Head to the doctor and find out what’s exactly causing your under-eye bags so you can get specific treatment without accidentally making the issue worse.
