Many people occasionally end up with bags under their eyes, often caused by a number of factors. These include a loss of sleep, alcohol use, tobacco use, salty foods, aging, not removing makeup, over-exposure to the sun, heredity, and sinus or allergy issues. For those who find themselves with bags under their eyes, the good news is there are some simple, easy home remedies that will alleviate this condition and cause immediate and long-lasting relief.
Cold Milk. In order to relieve the bags under your eyes, you will need to keep them moisturized. Using cold milk is a wonderful way to do this. Take a cotton ball and soak it in cold milk and then place the cotton ball on your eyelid. Leave the cotton ball in place for at least 20 minutes (you can use tape from a first aid kit to keep it in place) and afterwards wash the eye area. Cold milk has been proven to reduce puffiness in your eyes and keep them cool.
Potato. One of the very best ways to eliminate bags under your eyes is to use potatoes. Cut off a few slices of raw potato and put the slices on your eyelids for at least 15 minutes. The use of potatoes should reduce the inflammation showing in your eyes and also be extremely effective at eliminating dark circles which may also appear. It does not matter which variety of potato you use as long as the slice of potato fully covers your eyelids.
