How do you reduce/eliminate bags under your eyes?

I'm looking for answers that don't include getting more sleep or reducing stress, because who really has that option these days? =)

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Although that is the best option, there are a variety of ways which help bags under eyes:shinning

Green Tea/Teabags

Yes, it may sound strange, but its true! Green tea or teabags are a great way of helping your eye circles. It will not get rid of them however, it will only help them to become less noticeable.

Fluids/Energy

More energy can help you to be more alert and keep your eyes open for longer - however it is not the solution! Fluids, however, help to cleanse your eye and keep your body hydrated. This too will not dramatically reduce, but will help get rid of bags under your eyes.

Massage/Gentle rubbing

I have a special timer on my computer so that I give my eyes a rest and rub my eyes gently on the skin below my eye. This helps to make it more relaxed as the eye circles are caused by the blood underneath the skin to become more visible as the hemoglobin is lost from the cell leaving a blue/black colour underneath your eyes.

Try these to help - but I really suggest you go to sleep!

CJD: Great answer, but I would suggest putting citations for the information if you have them. That would make it even better... I was wondering where the teabag suggestion came from for example (personal experience? old wives tale?)

Thanks Jason. I will do this in future to help make it more effective. The teabags is just something I do, and I know a lot of people do - because it does help!

If there is a considerable amount of swelling, it could be a medical problem such as kidney or thyroid problems, allergies, as well as medication side effects, so you would need to consult your physician. However, for mild swelling, the MayoClinic.com suggests that you apply a cold wet compress, chilled cucumber or cold wet tea bags to the area. WebMD has a great article on the subject also, explaining what causes bags under your eyes and things you can do to help.

Cold compress sounds like the right idea. Checking out the WebMD column. Great answer!
