What to do with eye bags? Practical methods and life tips

Many people have this trouble: when looking in the mirror, they find that the area under their eyes is always swollen and bulging, which makes them look particularly listless and old. In fact, eye bags are a very common phenomenon. Although they are not harmful to health, they do affect self-confidence and mood. So, how can we effectively remove eye bags and make ourselves look more energetic and younger? In fact, as long as we find the right cause and cooperate with scientific care and living habits, it is not difficult to improve eye bags!

How do eye bags come from?

First of all, we have to figure out why eye bags appear. The most common reason is actually aging. As we age, the muscles and tissues around the eyes will become loose, and the fat that originally supported the eyeball will move down to form a bulge.

In addition to age, edema is also the culprit. For example, eating too much salt, sleeping in the wrong position, and hormone changes will cause water to accumulate under the eyes. When you wake up the next morning, you will find that the eye bags have become larger. Allergies or eye inflammation can also aggravate edema. Not to mention staying up late and lack of sleep, dark circles and eye bags will "report" together.

Some people are born with eye bags, which is related to genetics and has little to do with lifestyle habits. In addition, environmental factors such as long-term sun exposure and air pollution will also accelerate the aging and relaxation of the skin around the eyes.

Home tips to easily relieve eye bags?

If you want to improve eye bags, you can first start with lifestyle habits and simple home care:

• Ensure adequate sleep: It is best to ensure 7-9 hours of high-quality sleep every night to give the eyes enough time to recover.
• Drink more water and eat less salt: Drinking more water helps to excrete excess salt in the body and reduce edema. Eating a light diet and eating less heavy food can also improve edema.
• Raise your head when sleeping: Using a higher pillow can help excess fluid not accumulate under the eyes, and the eye bags will be much smaller when you wake up in the morning.
• Cold compress: Apply a cold towel, ice spoon or chilled cucumber slices to the eyes for a few minutes to constrict blood vessels and relieve edema.
• Balanced diet: Eat more foods rich in vitamins C and E, such as citrus, nuts, and green leafy vegetables, which can help skin firmness and elasticity.
• Drink less and quit smoking: These habits will accelerate skin aging and make eye bags more difficult to fade.
• Reduce blue light exposure: Staring at your phone or computer for a long time will increase eye fatigue and swelling. You can wear blue light blocking glasses (such as Vooglam's stylish blue light blocking glasses) to protect your eyes and relieve eye bags.

Common skin care products and cosmeceuticals

If you want faster results, you can choose some eye creams or essences containing ingredients such as caffeine, hyaluronic acid, peptides, retinol (vitamin A alcohol), etc. These ingredients can help tighten the skin, replenish water, promote collagen production, and slowly reduce eye bags.

Use eye creams to persist, gently massage and apply every morning and evening, and you can see the effect only after long-term persistence. Remember to choose products that are suitable for your skin type and non-irritating to avoid allergies.

Medical beauty and professional treatment methods

If the effect of lifestyle adjustments and skin care products is not obvious, or the eye bags are particularly severe, you can consider professional medical beauty methods:

• Hyaluronic acid filler: suitable for people with obvious tear groove depressions, it can make the transition under the eyes smoother and look more energetic.
• Laser or chemical peels: Stimulate collagen regeneration to make the skin tighter and more delicate.
• Eye bag surgery (lower eyelid bag plastic surgery): For cases of prominent fat and obvious skin sagging, the doctor will remove or adjust excess fat and skin, and the effect will be long-lasting and obvious.

No matter which method you choose, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor first and tailor a plan according to your personal situation, which is both safe and effective.
