Try These Techniques"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>How many products have you seen that are intended to get rid of bags under the eyes? So many creams and serums claim to de-puff and lighten the area under the eyes, but they don\u2019t always work. That\u2019s especially true if you genetically inherited dark circles or eye bags. It\u2019s also true if you have sensitive skin and easily react to ingredients in skin care products. Common causes of bags under the eyes include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Chronic fatigue<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pigmentation issues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aging<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/general-topics\/allergies-2\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"127\" title=\"Allergies\">Allergies<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eczema<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sun exposure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay Hydrated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dehydration can contribute to <strong>dark circles under the eyes<\/strong>. Since nearly half the world\u2019s population doesn\u2019t meet daily water intake recommendations, drinking water is a great place to start. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/diet-nutrition\/how-much-water-do-you-really-need-to-drink-every-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How much water you need<\/a> to properly hydrate the body will depend on weight and level of physical activity. Generally speaking, drink half your body weight in ounces of water per day to hydrate the body. If you weigh 150 pounds and divide that by two to get 75, you should be drinking 75 ounces of water per day.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Apply Tea Bags<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s lovely to sip a warm cup of tea, but what do you do with the tea bag once you finish your cup? You probably throw it away, which is a huge mistake. If you drink a cup of green tea, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/ingredient_search.html?ingredient=Chamomile&amp;id=168#containing\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"52\" title=\"Herbal products containing Chamomile\">chamomile<\/a> tea, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/ingredient_search.html?ingredient=Peppermint&amp;id=74#containing\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"53\" title=\"Herbal products containing Peppermint\">peppermint<\/a> tea, save the tea bag and put it on your eyes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/diy-under-eye-cream-to-reduce-dark-circles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">help fight dark circles<\/a>. Caffeinated teas work best because they help increase blood flow to the skin. According to research, green tea exhibits anti-inflammatory properties that help decrease puffiness.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wear Sunscreen Daily<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main reasons to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/homemade-natural-sunscreen-recipe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">apply sunscreen every day <\/a>is to reduce the risk of skin cancer, premature aging, and skin discoloration. The American Academy of Dermatology Association encourages all people to wear sunscreen. Broad spectrum sunscreens help protect against UVA and UVB rays. Ideally, choose a mineral sunscreen and it may help protect against darkness under the eyes. You can also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/a-quick-facial-massage-to-tighten-and-lift-the-eye-area\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">protect your eyes<\/a> even more by wearing sunglasses and hats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wash Your Face Before Bed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you improve your nightly skin care routine, you may not notice dark circles or bags when you wake up. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/how-often-should-you-wash-your-face\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">You should always cleanse your face<\/a> and remove makeup before bed. Sleeping with makeup, especially makeup around the eyes, can cause general irritation, allergic reaction, or infection that causes puffiness, redness, or other symptoms. Forgetting to wash your face at night may also increase your risk of wrinkles or general skin damage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use A Cold Compress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need relief from <strong>under-eye bags<\/strong>, a cold compress <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/diet-nutrition\/foods-that-help-you-fight-inflammation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">may help relieve the inflammation<\/a>. Applying a cold compress to the eyes also works to constrict the blood vessels quickly, which provides temporary relief. If you don\u2019t have a cold compress, try some chilled cucumbers, a cold teaspoon, a wet washcloth, or a bag of frozen vegetables. Before you apply your cold compress, wrap it in a soft cloth to protect your skin from getting too clothes. Allow the cold compress to sit on your skin for about five minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eat More Collagen-Rich Foods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The muscles and tissues that support your eyelids weaken as you get older. That means that you can experience sagging or bags under the eyes. If you increase your intake of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/vitamin-c-p-67.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vitamin C<\/a>, the body has an easier time absorbing more hyaluronic acid, which naturally exists in the body. The amount that\u2019s stored in the body, however, decreases with age. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/the-top-8-foods-that-are-rich-in-vitamin-c\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Foods that are rich in vitamin C<\/a> work to boost collagen production by increasing hyaluronic acid levels. Great sources of vitamin C include kiwis, oranges, bell peppers, strawberries, Brussels sprouts, kale, and broccoli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cut Back On Alcohol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/no-alcohol-formula-p-5.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Decreasing your intake of alcohol<\/a> relates to the first tip we gave in this article. Alcohol contributes to dehydration, and dehydration can increase the risk of under-eye bags or darkness under the eyes. If you crave that special drink, consider swapping it for sparkling water or infusing regular water with fruits and herbs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Your Head Elevated While You Sleep<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can fall asleep while elevating your head higher, then experiment with this method. Add an extra pillow to prop your head up higher in order to prevent fluid from accumulating in your lower eyelids, which creates puffiness while you sleep. If that is not doable, causes pain, or makes it too difficult to fall asleep, try to elevate the top end of your mattress a couple inches. There are special bed risers that can make this process easier.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s possible to reduce the appearance of bags under your eyes with these specific techniques.
