best way to get rid of the bags under my eyes?

Answer 1

Cucumber slices

Get more sleep

-Bags are sometimes caused by water retention, if you're retaining water your problem may only be temporary and will clear on its own.

-Sleep on your back. Apparently this keeps water from pooling up under your eyes overnight.

-Use an anti-puffiness cream or serum, there are plenty out there. Dab it very gently under your eyes and pick a formula that can be worn alone or under makeup. I find that those containing chamomille work well. I have sensitive and oily skin and it works well for me when I need to use it. Overnight I use Neutrogena Active Copper cream, works well and I found that I rarely wake up with bags anymore.

-Stay clear of things that irritate allergies or the eyes in general (i.e., cigarette smoke)

-Bags that are hereditary or are the result of fat deposits building up will likely require surgery to permanently remove them.

A couple of "home remedy" type things I found too:

Raw potato slices will help tighten baggy, puffy eyes. All you need is a potato and a knife or slicer!

To Make:

1. Slice 1/4 potato to fit over your eyes.

2. Cut 2 slices or, if you prefer, 5 to 10 very thin slices, several for each eye. Either method works.

To Use:

1. Spritz eye area with water.

2. Lying down, place the potato slices on your eyelids and leave in place for at least 10 minutes for best results.

Also, you can place a couple of spoons (metal) in your freezer overnight. While lying down, rest the cold spoons on your eyes for 10-20 minutes. According to the site I found this on, the condition should improve after 14 consecutive days of use. My personal opinion is that overnight in the fridge is a better choice or a cold compress of some sort. I don't know if anyone out there has ever had the experience of pulling something frozen off of skin-but it HURTS and can tear skin off.

There are countless ways to decrease or diminish eye baggage. These are just a few suggestions. Hope they help.

Answer 2

I use Clinical Eye Lift from AVOn. It works wonders not only does it get rid of the bags, crows feet, it also gets rid of the dark circles. I love this stuff. Check it out.

Answer 3

Get extra rest. Go to a local drugstore and pick up some Neutrogena eye cream. It's used for putting underneath your eyes at night to help tighten and tone the skin underneath your eyes. It's especially made for non-sleepers who frequently see purple shading underneath their eyes. Good luck!

Answer 4

Sometimes people get bags under their eyes from not drinking enough water. Sometimes in older people it's a sign of heart disease.

Answer 5

Plastic surgery

Answer 6

Cold tea bags with caffine. The caffine brings down the swelling.

Answer 7

I dont know if you can get rid of them but there is makeup to help make them less noticable. Its at Macy's Its called ooh la lift and it brightens your eyes

Answer 8

Try Preperation H for hemmoroids. I saw it on a movie (Miss Congeniality with Sandra Bullock).

Answer 9

Surgery is the only thing that'll help. BUT...you can reduce puffiness with cool caffeinated tea bags...Caffeine is the key.

Answer 10

Have a regular sleep pattern, stop smoking, drink less coffee, eat healthy and try cucumber slices.
