Bags under your eyes are often from congestion. You may not even have a cold or allergies. If you notice, the bags and circles are more so in the morning after you wake up. If you sleep on your stomache, try to sleep on your side--prop your head up more.
When you take a shower in the morning, put a cold washcloth over your eyes..If you have time, you can also put cucumbers, or cold tea bags. Both of these reduce the swelling.
Good Luck

There are many causes of dark circles, from age, heredity, allergies, cold or sinus infection, bone structure and glasses which are not so commonly known.

If you would like to apply home remedies to reduce dark circles, here are some of my suggestions:
Buy a box of regular, old fashioned unflavored gelatin (e.g. Knox) from grocery store. Take a small cup or bowl and put in 1 teaspoon of the gelatin mix. Add one tablespoon of boiling water & stir for a minute. Test it on your wrist to make sure it is not too hot. Then, using a cotton ball, pat it under your eyes as you would an eye cream or gel. Go lie down and listen to some music, or take a bath & let it stay on for at least 30 minutes. Then just rinse it off.Gelatin is very high in Vitamin K & Biotin. It will not remove your dark circles on the first application (but you will notice a difference), but if you do it daily for a week, and then 2-3 times a week for maintenance, you should notice a drastic reduction in dark circles.

Allergic salute: when a child continually rubs his or her nose in an upward motion, often causing a crease mark on the top of the nose.
Allergic shiner: dark circles under the eyes caused by an increase in blood flow near the sinuses.
And these "shiners" can be dark - blue-black in a child (me).
