Unpack Those Eye bags!

Unpack Those Eye bags!


  •  Sleep with an extra pillow: Get in the habit of sleeping on your back  with a pillow, as extra elevation can help to prevent the fluid from building up in the eye area overnight

  • Check out eye products containing caffeine: products containing caffeine as an ingredient can be specially helpful for smoothing away puffiness

  • Give your eyes a drink of tea: two teabags (black & caffeinated , rich in natural tannins) kept in the freezer & placed on the eyes to constrict blood vessels & drain fluids

  • Have a chilled, gel-filled mask on standby: Place mask on the eyes for 10-15 minutes & let the cool gel work its magic

  • Reduce salt intake & drink less alcohol: Both of these are notoriously linked to fluid retention. Foods that have diuretic effects include celery, cucumber, watermelon, radish & parsely

  • Exercise: A brisk 30 minute walk or any form of cardiovascular exercise can work wonders for that eye baggage

  • Go with ice: Stroke an ice cube over the skin, working in an outward direction.
