How to prevent bags under eyes? Follow these tips any avoid those ugly eye bags and dark circles.
Reduce salty food
According to medical research, foods with high salt and MSG contribute to puffy eyes. Try to stay away from dinners that contain too much salt or sodium.
Raise your bed
Slight elevation of the head of your bed will prevent bags under eyes. The elevation prevents fluids from setting around your eyes. The elevation should not be more than 6 inches. You can place six inch brick or wooden blocks under your bed's headboard.
Be careful of facial and eye exercises
Wrong facial and eye exercise also can cause bags under eyes. Make sure that you know what you are doing. If you are in to Facial exercises then I highly recommend Facial Exercise Secrets book.
Use the right wrinkle cream
I am not saying not to use wrinkle cream. Some wrinkle creams work too well; they plump up the skin to reduce wrinkles but also help give you puffy eyes. Try using a wrinkle cream like Xtend Life which targets wrinkles, dark circles and under eye bags.
No drinks at Bedtime
Stay away from drinks at bedtime or restrict yourself to only a few sips. Drinking fluids before bedtime increases your body's fluid retention and the likelihood it will settle in your eyes during sleep.
Be careful of what you eat
A low-carbohydrate diet will help prevent eye puffiness by preventing water retention. Eating more foods rich in vitamins, especially the vitamins A, C and E helps to reduce eye puffiness and to maintain clear, moist skin. Check out your diet. Excess amounts of salt in your diet can encourage fluid retention, don't rely too heavily on readymade meals and take-away foods, they often have high salt contents and of course are known to contain preservatives that prolong shelf life.
Take enough sleep
You need at least 8 hours of sleep every day. Sleep deprivation can cause both eye bags and dark circles under eyes.
The above guidelines are very important for those who had bags under eyes and got rid of them because they have a higher chance of getting eye bags again.
