Natural remedies to reduce under eye bags

It’s possible to reduce under eye bags with natural remedies and household items that you use everyday. Eating a balanced diet, staying hydrated and routinely exercising are some of the easiest steps you can take in reducing your under eye bags. 

It’s also important to make sure you're getting enough rest, and you’re not overstressed. Quitting smoking and ensuring you wear sunscreen - even on cloudy days - will also reduce the damaging external factors on your eye skin. 

There are everyday, natural items you can use to try and reduce your under eye bags. One popular remedy is applying cold cucumber slices over the eye for five minutes. Similarly, using a cold green tea bag, a cold compress or even cold spoons under the eye will help relieve and reduce puffiness.

What causes under eye bags?

Under eye bags can be caused by a number of things, whether it’s your lifestyle, your skin type or other external elements. The skin under the eyes is thin and delicate, meaning it can swell and puff up easily, especially overnight. There are many factors that could go into under eye bags, including:

 

• Excess alcohol
• A salty diet
• Dehydration
• Allergies
• Hereditary causes
• Stress
• Lack of sleep
• Overexposure to sun

Water levels in your skin tissue are the main factor in whether or not you suffer from puffiness under the eyes. If you want to reduce the appearance of under eye bags, try some of our tips to help with the root causes, as well as using the right under eye creams.
