  1. You can try sleeping a bit more. They make really good makeup that hides that too.


  2. A quick easy way is a cold compress. The colder the better. I usually put spoons in the freezer overnight and in the morning just put then against my bags under the eyes. Works great! You can also try cucumbers or anything cool.

  3. Is it sagging skin, or dark circles?

    Get more sleep.  Lack of sleep can cause dark circles and bags.

    Home remedies for bags:

    Apply a compress of ice water or very cold milk directly over your closed eyelids and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes.  This will cool and rest your eyes.  You can apply a similar treatment with a mixture of equal parts rosewater and witch hazel soaked in cotton.  Rest the cotton on your eyes for 10 to 15 minutes.

    Dark circles:

    Cucumber slices: Lay down with the cucumber slices on your eyes for at least 5 minutes, up to 10 minutes. Set an alarm if you're getting ready for work, because you don't want to have to explain to your boss why you were late.  Cucumbers don't just help dark eye circles - they also help soothe your eyes after a long day of staring at the computer screen. But if you get cucumber juice in your eyes, they'll sting like crazy. So be careful.

    Vitamin E: Take a Vitamin E capsule and carefully pierce it with a pin or needle. Dab a bit of the oil on your fingertip and pat it into the skin under your eyes. This remedy can help reduce dark eye circles and puffiness as well.  When you're done, swallow the rest of the capsule with a glass of water.

    Indian remedy: 1 tsp tomato juice, 3-4 drops of lemon juice, a pinch of turmeric powder, enough white flour to make a paste

    Mash these ingredients together into a medium-thick paste and dab it under your eyes. After fifteen minutes, wash the paste away. This should lighten the dark circles and address puffiness to some degree.

    Tea Bags: Take a used tea bag (black, green or white), after it has cooled, and apply it to the skin under your eyes. Lay down while you do this - otherwise, it's hard to get the tea bag to stick. Leave in place for about 10 minutes. Make sure the tea bag is somewhat dry because if it's too moist, irritating tea can get into your eyes, which can make you look like you've been crying.  Herbal tea bags aren't recommended, except for chamomile. Chamomile tea bags can help reduce dark circles and puffiness around the eyes because of its anti-inflammatory properties.

    Other remedies:

    1. Drink more water. 8-10 glasses per day, no excuses. Water helps to cleanse your body of impurities, which can contribute to dark eye circles.

    2. Stay out of the sun. If you're going to be outside, use a sunscreen to avoid making those dark eye circles darker.

    3. Are you allergic to something? Dark eye circles, especially in children, are sometimes a sign of an allergy. If you suspect you may be allergic, talk to your doctor.

    4. Invest in one of the products for dark circles under the eyes. This doesn't really belong on the list of remedies for dark eye circles - because today's products are cures rather than remedies. Yes, they really do work - and can really change the face that's looking back at you in the mirror.

    Good luck!
