Warning: Severe and persistent puffiness may be a sign of some serious medical condition and should therefore be referred to your Doctor.
Eye Bag Cream
If your eye bags are caused by long term sleep deprivation or tiny leakages of blood under eyes then you must take proper treatment. You must also take proper treatments if you have been having eye bags or dark circles for a long time. Quick home remedies do not work in these circumstances.
I was a victim of this category. I have tried many skin creams, but nothing worked. Finally I found Xtend Life Eye Bag Cream and it worked perfectly for me. My bags under eyes started reducing within a week.
Therefore my suggestion is try Xtend Life eye bags treatment (cream) first before going to a Doctor.
Home remedies to quickly reduce eye bag symptoms
The below are quick treatments to reduce bags under eyes. They are suitable for temporary symptoms of eye bags.
1. Cold water tratment
A splash of cold water on your face will get your blood circulation going so that fluids trapped in the eye release into the rest of your body. The cold water also reduces swelling.
2. Tapping
Lightly tap your upper and lower lids to nudge fluids away from the eyes. This also gets the fluids circulating to other areas in your body.
3. Spoon
Chill a spoon in the refrigerator and place it over your closed eyes for a few minutes. This reduces the swelling in your eye.
4. Tea bags
Moisten two tea bags and rest them over your closed eyes for 15 minutes. The tea helps tighten the skin and reduce bags under eyes. It is better if you can keep moisten tea bags in a refrigerator for 10 minutes before using them. The cool impact brings better results.
5. Cold compress Treatment
A cold compress near the eye can act as a short-term remedy as cold temperature constricts the blood vessels preventing the flow of fluid into tissues and diminishing puffiness.
6. Lavender oil
If you have tired or strained eyes lavender oil can offer some gentle relief; In 2-½ cup water, add a few drops of lavender oil and mix well. Take two cotton balls and dip in this solution. Squeeze out the extra water and place the cotton balls over the eyes.
Over the Counter Medicine
1. Midol
Many symptoms during menstruation can cause under eye bags like fluid retention. If you retain water during your period, an over the counter product like Midol will help reduce puffy eyes.
2. Antihistamine
Under eye bags caused by allergic reactions can be alleviated with an antihistamine like Benedryl. If your eyes are puffy, red, and itchy, your under eye bags may be caused by an allergic reaction. These are temporary symptoms and they usually go away within a day or two.
Makeup Trick
This quickt makeup can be used to cover bags under eyes. Simply apply a darker shade of make up on your upper lid just below the brow to the crease. Next apply a lighter shade of concealer on the lower portion of the lid. Puffiness is less noticeable when you highlight the lower portion of the lid.
I have noticed that there are many pricey creams and products on the market that promises instant results for bags under eyes, but few such as Xtend Life deliver any meaningful results. The few that do have a beneficial effect are those that are specifically manufactured with certain problems in mind. For instance an ordinary skin care or moisturizer will not solve the problem of dark circles or eye bags. You need a cream specially manufactured and tested for the disease.
