Are you wondering why you have puffy eyes or how you can make under-eye bags disappear? Good news: Although they can be bothersome, bags under your eyes don’t usually impact vision or health. But if you want to reduce the puffiness around your eyes, there are temporary and long-lasting solutions.
There are several reasons people get puffy eyes, including:
“The most common cause of under-eye bags or puffiness is natural aging,” says Shaun Desai, M.D., a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon at Johns Hopkins Center for Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. “Older skin becomes too lax and tends to fall or wrinkle. The muscles and tissues around the eye can also weaken and contribute to the baggy look. This weakening allows the fat surrounding the eye to bulge out, creating that bubble-like appearance.”
There are different approaches to reducing under-eye puffiness, depending on the cause. At-home treatments can temporarily shrink lower lids that are sometimes swollen from fluid pooling in the undereye area.
But, says Desai, home remedies and over-the-counter products can only do so much, “To effectively get rid of under-eye bags that are prominent and permanent, medical treatment is oftentimes necessary.
”
If you occasionally wake up with puffy lids, these quick fixes may help. They work to reduce swelling until it naturally subsides over the course of the day.
You can also try resting chilled tea bags (caffeinated black tea) on closed eyes.If you’re fed up with under-eye bags, these medical treatments can improve and even eliminate them:
Nonsurgical options
These noninvasive treatments smooth the under-eye area:
An in-office application of a chemical solution dissolves old skin cells to reveal tighter, brighter skin. Depending on your skin type and sun exposure, results can last a few years. Surgical option
A lower eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) is an outpatient procedure where the surgeon readjusts the fat in the lower eye area and tightens the muscle and skin to create a smooth appearance. In most cases, a lower eyelid lift gets rid of under-eye bags for life — it’s rare for people to need future touch-ups.
However, says Desai, sometimes patients require multiple therapies to treat under-eye bags, such as combining laser resurfacing with filler or an eyelid lift.
The eye area is a very delicate part of the face. Serious complications can arise if procedures are done improperly. It’s crucial to find a highly experienced, board-certified surgeon who specializes in treatment of the eyelid area.

You’d think getting an adequate amount of rest and eating a healthy diet would make under-eye puffiness disappear, but alas, we still see bags underneath our eyes.
"Under-eye changes are inevitable as we all age (dark or bluish discoloration, depressed appearance, puffiness, bags, etc.)," says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Robert Finney. "And identifying the cause of your under-eye puffiness is required prior to determining how to help treat it."
"The eyes are areas of highly specialized skin that is vulnerable to several different systems and susceptible to various changes that affect their appearance," says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Corey L. Hartman. "Genetics, fluid retention, allergies, sun exposure, lack of sleep, and poor diet can all have a negative impact on the appearance of the upper and lower eyelids."
So what's the best way to de-puff and get rid of under-eye bags once and for all? Ahead, Hartman and Finney, as well as licensed esthetician Ali Tobia, divulge everything you need to know, including why some eye creams can help.

One of our favorite puffy eye hacks uses a tool you already have in your kitchen: spoons. Leave two clean teaspoons in your freezer, and on puffy mornings, simply press them against your eyes for a few minutes. "This can be done with a spoon kept in the freezer (wet it before applying it to each under-eye area for a few minutes) and will help constrict the vessels and reduce inflammation in the area," advises Finney.

While we couldn't do without our morning java jolt, caffeine has also become a star player in skincare products.
"Eye gels with active ingredients like caffeine, licorice, and other antioxidants are helpful," says Hartman. "Especially if they are cooled before application." Try chilling your favorite caffeine-infused under-eye gels overnight, then apply them in the morning while you have your coffee.

Finney advises that it's crucial to stay hydrated for many health reasons, but one of the more cosmetic reasons is to help keep puffiness at bay. "When you are dehydrated, your body tries to hold on to all the fluid it can, which could contribute to under-eye puffiness." Studies have found that the ideal water intake for those assigned male is 3000 mL, and 2200 mL for those assigned female.

When shopping for under-eye remedies, "Look for a good moisturizing eye cream with ingredients such as green tea, caffeine, niacinamide, peptides and other antioxidants, which can help reduce inflammation and constrict blood vessels to reduce puffiness," advises Finney.
"My absolute favorite is the Alastin Restorative Eye Treatment, which has anti-inflammatory properties but also contains a peptide that stimulates collagen to help improve wrinkles and other signs of aging," he says. "The best part is that it is non-irritating. Many eye creams that promise wrinkle reduction contain retinol, and although retinol is great for anti-aging, it can often be irritating in the eye area, given that the skin around the eye is the thinnest and most sensitive anywhere on the body."
For an all-natural eye cream to soothe and de-puff eyes, turn to cold aloe vera gel, which boasts anti-inflammatory properties. Keep a bottle in your fridge and then apply it just like you would eye cream.

Finney explains, "[The under-eye area] is one area on the body where our natural drainage system (lymphatic system) for excess fluid is not the best, some suffering worse than others. There are different ways to accomplish [drainage] including ice rollers (dual action by helping to massage and directly cool the area), jade rollers, etc.
" However, he does warn that "frequently rubbing the skin in this area can result in discoloration and a wrinkled appearance."
Hartman echoes this sentiment: "Eye rollers are a way to provide a gentle massage to the area and are quite effective if used regularly, just don’t apply too much pressure or it can trigger more inflammation."

Did you know that the way you apply eye moisturizer affects the state of your under-eye area? Tobia says, "Rubbing cream or moisturizer on your eyes can cause it to be puffy. Instead, try lightly tapping the area of your eyes and massaging the pressure points to encourage lymphatic drainage."
Hartman agrees, advising that a simple, gentle tapping motion with your ring finger can go a long way for draining the lymph buildup that causes puffiness.
Tobia instructs: "Starting with your neck to get the drainage started, drag the backs of your knuckles down along the sides of your neck.
Then, work your way up your face, sweeping your fingertips outward from the center of your face to your ears. When you reach your eye area, you’ll want to make sure that you have your fingertips gliding across the bone just under your eye with a feathery touch." We recommend using a facial oil during this process to avoid tugging on your skin.

While we welcome spring with its blooming flowers and pleasant weather, we could do without the allergies that accompany it. "If you have seasonal or other allergies, it is very common to have extra puffiness under your eyes," says Finney. He recommends, "If you notice a seasonal change in your eyes, try an over-the-counter antihistamine such as Zyrtec or Allegra daily during the time of year when your allergies are heightened."

Hartman advises getting eight to 10 hours of sleep per night to help control puffiness. And while you're at it, he says to try and keep your head elevated overnight.
Finney agrees: "If you are sleep deprived, it usually makes puffiness worse," he says. "An often overlooked fix to de-puffing the eye area that can yield amazing results is to simply sleep in a more elevated position. Try adding an extra pillow to help elevate your head and allow the fluid to drain easier at night."

If at-home options are not working for you, consider a professional treatment with a board-certified dermatologist. The best treatment for you may vary based on your individual concern, but in general, Hartman says that the best treatment for under-eye puffiness is typically radiofrequency microneedling.
"Radiofrequency microneedling devices like Lutronic Genius insert tiny needles (after application of a potent numbing cream) that heat the dermal tissue, reduce fat and edema, and tighten the skin to provide a firm, smooth surface," he says. Be wary of medical spas offering this treatment and instead visit a board-certified dermatologist.

Swollen eyelids and puffiness under the eyes torment almost everyone. Want to remove the "heavy" look? First establish the cause, and only then begin treatment. We tell in detail what to do with puffiness and what causes it.
Content of article
Puffiness under the eyes is a common phenomenon that everyone has experienced at least once in their life. Why puffiness occurs, does it always signal serious problems, how to prevent the appearance of bags under the eyes and quickly remove them if they do arise - we tell in our material.

Waking up and seeing severely swollen eyelids is not the most pleasant start to the day. However, do not worry, most likely, you can quickly get rid of circles if it is not a disease and not heredity. Edema can appear for a variety of reasons.
Let's figure out what causes puffiness in the morning, and how to get rid of swelling under the eyes in these cases.
One of the most common causes of swollen eyelids in the morning is excessive salt intake the day before. A large amount of salt in the body leads to the accumulation of excess fluid. Including water is collected in the area of the eyelids. Hence the severe swelling under the eyes after sleep.
Solution - You don't have to cut out salt completely, just reduce your daily intake and don't go salty in the evenings. Improvement will not take long. Additionally, drink more water to flush out most of the salt from the body.
Wild cocktail parties cause more than just hangovers. Why can puffiness under the eyes appear the next morning after heavy drinking? Alcohol leads the body to dehydration, which causes puffiness and swollen eyelids.
Alcoholic drinks also expand the blood vessels, in which excess fluid accumulates.
Solution - Drink plenty of water before going to bed after a party. And don't forget to wash off your makeup and apply an eye cream with green tea or aloe vera extract.
Stop rubbing your eyes and touching them with your hands. Such actions injure the delicate skin around the eyes, provoke swelling of the eyelids, and bags may also appear under the eyes.
Solution - If you need to remove dirt or anything else, use soft, clean wipes. If the skin is already swollen, apply a cooling mask around the eyes and make a few cold milk compresses before bed and in the morning to soothe the skin.
Even mild stress increases cortisol levels and changes the salt balance in the body.
The result is swelling under the eyes in the morning. This item is especially relevant for those who suffer from insomnia and sleep critically.
Solution - Relieve stress with exercise, relaxation treatments, or regular restful sleep. Additionally moisturize the skin around the eyes with cucumber cream, which reduces circles and puffiness. The best treatment for puffy eyes after stress is a good vacation, or at least a quality weekend getaway.

We have studied the main causes that cause morning puffiness. Now we will tell you why, in principle, swelling occurs under the eyes.
Do you constantly relax, take care of your skin, but in a different climate your eyelids still swell up? It's simple - the causes of swelling under the eyes of the eyes in women can be associated with changes in temperature.
For example, in hot countries with high temperatures, the eyes dry more than usual. Due to the overdried mucous membrane, the skin around the eyes thickens and becomes irritated.
Delicate and “fragile” dermis always react negatively to aggressive chemicals and certain temperatures. Thin skin is quickly irritated and begins to swell. To reduce symptoms, you need to select special care products from pharmacy collections and wash your face only with slightly cool water - not cold and not hot.
Whether it is chrono-aging or skin deterioration due to sun exposure, in any case, the skin around the eyes becomes less firm and smooth, it lacks collagen. In addition, metabolism slows down with age, which can lead to water retention in the body.
Time cannot be stopped, but its influence can be slowed down. To increase your collagen content, use laser skin tightening treatments and buy skin care products with retinol, vitamin C and collagen in the composition.
Professional treatments and proper care will make the skin around the eyes firmer and smoother. Creams for puffiness under the eyes will also not be superfluous. Also use sunscreen and avoid products with sodium.

Unfortunately, heredity is one of the reasons why the area under the eyes swells. Edema may be part of the genetic code. If for many years you have been unsuccessfully struggling with swollen eyelids and swelling under the eyes, it is probably a matter of heredity. And there's nothing you can do about it.
Are you a contact lens wearer and notice that the area under your eyes is swollen? Check if everything is in order with contact lenses. Perhaps it's time to change them or you should wear them less often, combining them with glasses.
Dirt or a scratch on the lens will increase eye strain and cause swelling.
Tears that form during crying contain more water than the tears that the eyes secrete for self-cleansing and moisturizing. There is an increased level of salt in the tissues of the eye, so that when tears come into contact with a salty environment, the skin swells. How to remove swelling under the eyes after crying? The best way to deal with them is with cold compresses. The main thing is not three eyes.
Salt and sodium in large quantities retain fluid in the body, which leads to swelling. Reduce the amount of salt to reduce circles and puffiness under the eyes. By the way, excess carbohydrates can also cause puffiness.
Swelling under the eyes can be caused not only by lack of sleep or heredity.
The causes of puffiness in women are also associated with the menstrual cycle. During menstruation, the body experiences stress and retains water in the body. Hence - a couple of extra pounds, puffiness of the body and swelling under the eyes. The treatment of swelling under the eyes in women before and during critical days consists in active care for the skin of the eyelids. Restricting salt can help too.
Puffiness is not always caused by harmless causes, sometimes puffiness under the eyes is a symptom of serious diseases. If the swelling is accompanied by pain and worsens every hour, contact your doctor as soon as possible. All other cases are not so dangerous, however, if home remedies do not help get rid of swelling, do not delay a visit to the doctor.
What diseases can puffiness under the eyes indicate?
For her, sometimes a careless movement is enough. Focus on the condition of the eye - if there is pain or visual impairment, then urgently see a doctor. 
Morning sleep deprivation or condition after a hot party? We share methods on how to remove swelling under the eyes.

No cooling masks? Not scary. Put two clean teaspoons in a bag in the freezer for several hours. In the morning, apply chilled spoons to the area around the eyes for several minutes. Another similar way to quickly remove swelling under the eyes is to apply ice cubes. But remember, it is better to make ice from filtered purified water.
We continue the parade of home anti-edema methods. Next in line are tea bags with green or black tea. How to remove swelling and bruising under the eyes with their help? Pre-brew them in hot water for a minute and let cool to room temperature. Then put them under your eyes for 3 minutes. The natural caffeine in tea will constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling.
What should I do if my eyes are swollen and bags under my eyes have not gone away for a long time? Start your treatment with a gentle massage.
Light tapping with your fingertips on the delicate skin of the eyelids and lacrimal sacs will disperse excess fluid and reduce swelling. Move your fingers from the inside of the lower eyelid to the upper. Gentle stroking movements from the nose to the outside of the eye also help a lot.

How to properly use an eye mask?
Read the instructions - some eye masks work only as part of a night care, other products need to be washed off after 5-20 minutes. Each skin care product works differently, but there are some general guidelines to consider:

When choosing a sunscreen, bet on products with a mineral composition. Mineral sunscreens are a great option for people with sensitive, acne-prone and rosacea-affected skin.

They can be used every day if necessary. In any case, they work without a cumulative effect. For serious regular care, choose a specially selected eye cream that will relieve puffiness, reduce circles and fine wrinkles. The eye cream can be combined with an SPF care cream, which is necessary to prevent photoaging.

Puffy eyes and dark circles under the eyes can occur for many reasons, including hereditary facial features, allergies, stress, eye fatigue, and individual skin characteristics such as texture.
While some home remedies, such as cucumber slices, can temporarily relieve puffy eyes, a longer-term solution requires finding out the underlying cause.
The usual swelling around the eyes indicates an excess of accumulated fluid in the surrounding skin tissues. Because the skin around the eyes is the thinnest, swelling and discoloration can be quite noticeable.
But what is the reason for the accumulation of fluid that causes swelling of the eyes?
Puffy eyes are usually due to various factors, including:
Excessive salt intake that causes fluid retention
With age, puffy eyes can be partly caused by the fact that the fatty tissue that normally protects the eye inside the bony socket begins to move forward and fill the space under the eye.
This is because the aging process causes thinning of the membrane or "septum" that normally holds fat in both the upper and lower eyelids. As the membrane thins, the fat bulges forward. It is then that bags or bulges begin to form under the eyes.
When we sleep, we don't blink.
And this is one of the reasons why swelling of the eyes develops.
Dark circles may appear under the eyes as a result of stress or lack of sleep.
Blinking is for the eyelids like walking is for the feet. With no movement, some people develop swelling in the lower extremities, which resolves as soon as they start walking, and the leg muscles begin to "pull" the accumulated fluid (edema), releasing it back into the bloodstream.
The same thing happens with the eyelids. Closed eyelids that do not blink during sleep can swell in some people who have a tendency to this. Therefore, in the morning you can wake up with very swollen and swollen eyelids. After you open your eyes and start blinking, some of the swelling will subside in about an hour.
When this happens unexpectedly, swelling of the eyes sometimes indicates the presence of an illness.
For example, people with thyroid problems may develop swelling of the tissues and muscles around the eyes.
In addition, bulging eyes can be a symptom of a thyroid disorder known as Graves' disease.
Eye allergies associated with conditions such as hay fever can also cause eye swelling. Other types of allergies, such as reactions to certain foods or chemicals, can cause eyelid swelling.
During an allergic reaction, some cells in the body release a chemical called histamine, which has many adverse effects on body tissues, including leakage of fluid from blood vessels. These fluids linger in the surrounding tissues, causing swelling.
Swollen, swollen eyelids and dark circles under the eyes may occur with eye infections eg conjunctivitis In this case, swelling of the eyes is caused by inflammation associated with an eye infection that directly affects the eyelids. In addition, general swelling and puffiness can cause dry eyes.
Systemic diseases, including kidney failure, also lead to general swelling throughout the body, including around the eyes.
To find the best solution for puffy eyes and dark circles, it is important to identify the root cause.
If your mother or father has swollen eyes, you may have inherited this trait from them. In such a case, cosmetic surgery may be considered to reduce the swelling.
Puffy eyes due to aging are also likely to require cosmetic surgery.
You may want to discuss with your optometrist or plastic surgeon some of the options available for eyelid problems. These options include chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing, certain prescription skin treatments, and an eyelid surgery known as blepharoplasty.
Blepharoplasty removes excess fat and skin from the upper and lower eyelids and tightens the skin and muscles to reduce puffiness and wrinkles.
The following remedies may temporarily reduce swelling around the eyes:
Use eye drops for allergy-related irritation, if applicable
Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated
Cold compresses for swollen eyelids
Apply cucumber slices or chilled tea bags to closed eyes
Use creams and other products specially designed to apply to the skin around the eyes
reduce the salt content in the
Eat foods rich in potassium, such as bananas, to eliminate excess fluid in the body
Splash cold water on the face and eyes
Sleep and rest as much as possible
Creams and ointments used to reduce eyelid swelling often contain phenylephrine, a drug that constricts blood vessels.
