How to remove bags under the eyes: massage, gymnastics, cosmetics

1. Fatty hernias – is adipose tissue that has increased in size and became noticeable. Hernias are permanent, can appear at a fairly young age, and often have a hereditary origin.

2. Edema is a direct consequence of fluid stagnation. They are familiar to everyone, and with age, puffiness from a temporary problem that is faced the next morning after a party can turn into a permanent one.

• Abuse of salty foods

  As you know, salt retains water, and the hernial sac and loose fiber are conditions suitable for fluid stagnation.

• Drink plenty of fluids at night

  Yes, doctors advise drinking at least 1,5 liters of water per day (at the rate of 30 ml per 1 kg of body weight) so that all processes in the body proceed optimally. But it is necessary to distribute this amount so that a small part of the daily norm falls on the evening. And in general, by 19.00 it is better to finish eating and drinking. And certainly do not drink tea, coffee and alcohol before bedtime – they retain fluid in the body.

• We sleep a little

  With a short and poor-quality sleep, the eyes do not have time to recover and look red and swollen. An unhealthy regime negatively affects the condition of the skin as a whole (on its protective functions, moisture level, immunity), and especially on the fragile and weak skin of the eyes. In addition, with lack of sleep, we involuntarily begin to rub our eyes, injuring the eyelids.

• We move a little

  While we are lying on the couch, sitting in an office chair, or driving in a traffic jam, the muscles that help eliminate fluid are inactive. As a result, it stagnates where it is easiest for her to do this – in the area around the eyes.

• Getting older

  Of course, we are not to blame for this. But it is worth remembering: with age, metabolic processes in the body slow down, the production of collagen and elastin decreases, which causes the skin to lose elasticity. Especially quickly and noticeably, these changes occur in the eye area.

In people with hereditary severity of the hernial sac, as well as with naturally large eyes, puffiness worsens with age.

• adjust lifestyle;

• choose cosmetics for the skin around the eyes and use it wisely.

1. Use only products for the skin of the eyelids. A regular face cream or gel applied under the eyes provokes swelling.

2. Apply evening care products 1,5-2 hours before going to bed.

• Contrasting wash. The change of cold and warm water activates the blood and lymph flow, helps to speed up the outflow of fluid from the eyelid area. For the contrast procedure, “compresses” from cotton pads soaked in water of different temperatures are suitable.

• Massage. Special manipulations stimulate the outflow of fluid.

• Motion. Walking at a brisk pace is one of the most effective ways to quickly relieve puffiness.

1. Slowly move your eyes as far to the right as possible. Hold your gaze.

2. Do the same while looking to the left.

3. Look up, hold, look down.

4. Look as high as you can diagonally up to the right, then down to the left.

5. Repeat the same, starting from the upper left point diagonally.

6. Repeat the whole cycle, but with your eyes closed.

During the exercise, only the eyes move: the eyebrows, head, neck remain motionless.
