How to Remove Eyebags Naturally
If you’re tired of the unsightly bags under your eyes, there are a few things you can do to get rid of them naturally. You can do so without resorting to surgery, which can be risky and expensive.
- Apply cold compresses to the eye area cellreturn, such as refrigerated spoons or chilled slices of cucumbers.
Using cold compresses reduces inflammation and minimizes blood flow, which causes tissues to shrink and reduces the appearance of puffiness. Try a few different types of cold compresses until you find one that works for you.
- Use a baking soda paste to reduce eye bags, such as with cotton makeup remover pads that have been soaked in a mixture of 1 part baking soda and 2 parts water.
Baking soda is a natural exfoliant that promotes blood flow and helps to remove dead skin cells from the under-eye area, which can reduce puffiness.
- Drink more milk, which is high in vitamin A, and contains retinoids that can help to keep the under-eye skin looking fresh.
- Avoid drinking alcohol or salty food before bedtime, which can cause fluid retention that leads to eye bags.
- Sleep well, especially on a firm mattress and pillow to prevent your head from dropping forward and causing fluid to accumulate in the under-eye area.
- Cut down on salty foods and other food that tends to aggravate the problem of under-eye puffiness, such as coffee or soda.
- Avoid smoking, which can worsen the condition of bags under the eyes due to the resulting irritation and swollen lymph nodes in the face.
- Make sure you get a good night’s sleep, which is important for your overall health and looks.
- Invest in a beauty device that will give you permanent results and will be safe to use long-term, such as Belega Cell Cure 4T Plus by Belega Japan, Tripollar STOP Eye 2, or Dualsonic Professional.
Using beauty devices like these will go a long way in reducing the intensity of your eye bags overnight. However, these devices are also costly and have to be used on a consistent basis to be effective.
- Dermal fillers are another option to reduce the appearance of eye bags and can be used to replace lost fat. These fillers have minimal recovery time and can last up to 6 months or more.
- Surgical removal of the eye bags (also known as lower blepharoplasty) is an option that many people choose to undergo. This procedure is an outpatient surgery that involves a small incision below the eyelashes. This incision allows the surgeon to access the pockets of fat that are causing the appearance of eye bags.
Surgery for eye bag reduction usually requires a consultation with a board-certified
plastic surgeon. The surgeon will be able to determine which type of surgery is most appropriate for you. He or she will take the time to answer any questions you may have and will explain the surgery process. The result is usually natural-looking, aesthetically pleasing results that can be achieved with little downtime and no bruising.
