Bag Under Eyes

Contrary to popular belief, it is not always lack of sleep that can cause an under eye bag problem. In fact, sometimes the bags may be caused more by the position slept in, leading to fluid accumulating in the eye area. This can easily be remedied by sleeping in a slightly elevated position, allowing proper drainage to occur. Allergies to feather bedding can also be responsible for the bag under eyes which, again can be easily solved by switching to hypo-allergenic material.

The appearance of a bag under the eyes can be very upsetting as it instantly makes the sufferer seem older, tired or even ill. Fortunately, there are many good products available on the market that can help relieve under eye puffiness and are not necessarily the more expensive brands. Any serum or cream that contains tightening and skin toning ingredients should work well. Witch hazel, caffeine, ivy extract, horse chestnut and camomile are all popular ingredients and are often combined with moisturizing, anti-oxidant substances.

If the bag problem under the eyes is severe and has not been helped by over the counter creams, it is worth checking with a doctor that it is not a symptom of an underlying illness. If this is definitely not the case, then there is always the option of cosmetic surgery. The procedure Blepharoplasty removes excess fat from the eye area and can often be combined with an eye lift, making the patient look younger and more refreshed for years to come.
