How to get rid of bags under eyes

It's important to know how to get rid of bags under eyes in order to maintain a youthful appearance. Bags can form under the eyes for a number of reasons. It can happen due to tiredness, aging, or allergies. Natural remedies can help eliminate this problem.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Put used tea bags on your eyelids. Green teabags are particularly effective. The reason is that green tea has a natural anti-inflammatory ingredient called EGCG. This natural chemical reduces the build-up of fluid that causes bags under eyes.

  2. Step 2

    Put potatoes on your eyes. Take the potato and grate it and then strain it. Then dip cotton wool pads into the potato juice. Put the pads on your eyelids. This will help reduce the soreness of puffy eyelids and eliminate bags under eyes.

  3. Step 3

    Sleep with your head elevated. Use an extra pillow to elevate your head. This will have a draining effect that can help reduce puffiness.

  4. Step 4

    Have a healthy diet to help get rid of bags under eyes. Reduce your intake of salt. Eat fewer carbs. This will reduce water retention which can lead to puffy eyes.
