How do you reduce bags under your eyes?

1. Get enough sleep. Most adults need around 7-8 hours of sleep per night. When you don't get enough sleep, your body produces more of the stress hormone cortisol, which can lead to fluid retention and puffiness around the eyes.

2. Elevate your head. When you sleep, try to elevate your head by about 6 inches. This will help to drain fluid from your face and reduce puffiness.

3. Use a cold compress. Applying a cold compress to your eyes can help to reduce swelling and inflammation. You can use a cold washcloth, a bag of frozen peas, or even a spoon that has been chilled in the refrigerator.

4. Use eye drops. If your eyes are dry, they can become irritated and red, which can make bags under your eyes more noticeable. Using eye drops can help to keep your eyes moist and reduce irritation.

5. Avoid salty foods. Eating too much salt can lead to fluid retention, which can make bags under your eyes worse. Try to limit your salt intake to no more than 2,300 milligrams per day.

6. Drink plenty of water. Drinking plenty of water can help to flush out toxins from your body and reduce fluid retention. Aim for 8-10 glasses of water per day.

7. Get regular exercise. Exercise can help to improve your overall circulation and reduce fluid retention. Try to get at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.

8. See a doctor. If you have severe bags under your eyes that don't improve with home treatment, you may want to see a doctor. There may be an underlying medical condition that is causing the puffiness.
