The main causes of eye bags are lifestyle habits and heredity. In addition, long-term lack of sleep, frequent wearing of contact lenses, or not gentle enough makeup removal may cause bags under the eyes. Some people have very obvious eye bags at a young age, which is due to genetics.
In order to prevent the occurrence of bags under the eyes, we need to pay attention to the following:
Do not drink water before going to bed
People who are prone to bags under the eyes should exercise more, or do Massage the face and eyes to help local circulation, and eat as little overcooked or spicy food as possible. Eating too much food with too much flavor before going to bed, and drinking too much water are all causes of eye edema and eye bags. .
Eye cream should not be too oily.
Eye cream that is too oily is difficult for the skin to absorb completely, causing excess oil particles to accumulate around the eyes, forming bags under the eyes. It is best to choose eye cream with a light texture to avoid the accumulation of oil particles. SK-11 has the function of softening grease particles and is one of the few products on the market that can deal with grease particles.
If bags under the eyes have already occurred, don’t worry. The following are ways to “overcome” them:
Acupoint massage------The occurrence of bags under the eyes is closely related to poor circulation. , massage can effectively promote blood circulation. Use your ring finger to press the acupuncture points at the end of the eye or on both sides of the nose, relax after about 3-5 minutes, and do this ten times in a row. In addition, gently pressing the acupuncture point under the eyes before going to bed can also prevent the occurrence of eye swelling.
GEL Massage - Squeeze a rice-sized amount of eye GEL (usually such products have the effect of reducing swelling) on ??the fingertips of the ring finger and massage gently to achieve a better swelling reduction effect.
Cold compress first aid------If you have bags under your eyes due to lack of sleep, you can use cold compress to relieve them: wrap two or three ice cubes in plastic wrap, fold a small face towel in half and cover your eyelids Then put ice cubes on top to get the effect of cold compress. Frozen tea bags, cotton pads soaked in frozen milk, or even a stainless steel spoon left in the refrigerator for 1 minute can reduce swelling and calm down.
It is also important to pay attention to choosing eye care products that suit you. The following are common eye care products on the market for your reference:

You can apply sliced ??cucumber on the area with bags under the eyes to calm the skin and help reduce the symptoms of dark circles and bags under the eyes.

If your eye bag problem is very serious and affects your image, then you can consider going to a cosmetic clinic to "dry" it away:
Eye bag removal surgery is not complicated. , the incision is generally designed 2-3 mm away from the eyelash edge of the lower eyelid, parallel to the edge of the lower eyelid, and slightly beyond the outer corner of the eye. In this way, the scars after surgery are very hidden and generally cannot be seen.
Be careful when removing the lower eyelid skin, because removing too much skin from the lower eyelid will cause ectropion of the lower eyelid. What we often call rabbit eyes is not only very ugly, but it can also damage the eyes over time.
Both men and women will develop bags under the eyes as they age. If the skin is not loose, it is not necessary to remove the skin as long as the exposed fat is removed.
The original protruding skin is elastic enough and can be readjusted to a smooth surface. If the protruding fat is allowed to persist for many years, it will not only expand the skin of the eyelids, but also destroy the fibers of the skin, causing skin sagging. Surgery to remove eye bags is actually an eyelid rhytidectomy. People who want to do this type of surgery need not be afraid!
But you must go to a regular large hospital to do it.
