Say goodbye to bags under your eyes

by Blanca

Bags under the eyes give us a tired appearance that makes us look older than we are, making them a major concern in facial aesthetics . However, depending on their cause, they can be easily resolved .

There are two types of bags: bags caused by fat accumulation or sagging of tissues, and bags caused by fluid accumulation .

How will we know to identify the cause in our case? Very simple, if they are temporary or vary from time to time, it is most likely bags due to fluid retention.

How are we going to treat them?

Bags under the eyes due to fat accumulation: these are the most complicated . Although it depends on each case, if they have appeared with age , some experts say that lymphatic drainage massages and facial exercises can help reduce the edema caused by fat and muscle shrinkage.

If the bags are caused by fluid retention, they are easier to treat. In some cases, it's simply morning puffiness from not blinking during the night; in others, it's related to our sleep habits, stress, diet, etc. In any case, here are 5 easy tips to help rejuvenate your eyes :

1. Avoid foods high in salt and spices, as these promote fluid retention.

2. Give your body the rest it needs , that is, try as much as possible to sleep the hours that your body demands.

3. Apply local cold . Whether with gel eye masks kept in the refrigerator, cucumber, or however you prefer, local cold will help reduce inflammation.

4. Give yourself lymphatic drainage massages to improve circulation . It's very simple: when applying the cream morning and night, take the opportunity to gently massage from the inside out towards your temples. This will help eliminate fluid retention and also tone the area.

5. Do some facial exercises . Although our facial toning guide includes some exercises that might be helpful, here's a very effective one: with your index fingers gently pressing on the outer corner of your eye, blink rapidly for 30 seconds. You can repeat this several times a day.
