Puffy Baggy Eyes::How to Get Rid of Puffy Baggy Eyes

To remove puffy eyes and get rid of baggy eyes, it helps to understand the cause.  What would no bags under your eyes, no puffiness and even no dark circles do for your appearance?  Let's get rid of them and find out.

The Cause of Bags & Puffiness

What is the cause of baggy eyes?  The cause is a build up of fluids in the skin beneath the eye.  While it is possible to see puffy eyes at any age, especially early in the morning, it is more common as people get older and the skin becomes thinner.

The reason the skin becomes thinner with age is due to decreased skin cell production.  Giving it the tools that it needs to produce new cells will help. 

In some cases, the fluids begin to leak, due to fragile blood vessels.  When that occurs, people see baggy eyes and dark circles. The skin beneath the eye is particularly delicate.  Pulling on the area to insert contact lenses or apply makeup will make the problem worse.

Benefit of No More Baggy Eyes

The benefit that you will see is a more youthful appearance.  The one that you can’t see is an improvement in your skin’s health. But is will become apparent as you begin to see a new skin glow radiance.   Puffy eyes accompany a variety of health problems, especially those that involve poor circulation. Let's briefly look at that.

Some Ways to Reduce Inflammation

Women have used a number of different tactics to reduce this inflammation.  Covering the eyes with sliced cucumbers or citrus fruit, applying anti-inflammatory creams and using cold compresses are some of the solutions they have come up with.  The application of sliced citrus fruit makes sense, because there is a flavonoid in citrus fruit that promotes vascular health.  They call it vitamin P.

The old remedy for bruised and baggy eyes was to use a slab of raw meat, such as a steak.  Anything cold will provide some reduction in puffy eyes.  The proteins in the meat may have also helped.  The latest technology calls for the use of creams containing peptides.  Peptides are like proteins, but contain fewer amino acids. 

Diet Changes May Help

Many researchers are looking at dietary factors that may contribute to an age appearance.  Since puffy eyes often accompany aging, a change in diet might help.  The goal would be to increase your intake of inflammation fighting fruits and vegetables, decrease your intake of foods that contribute to inflammation.  Most of those are fatty meats. 

Eating more fish is a good choice, according to some dermatologists.  Fish provides the protein necessary for building new cells. Fish oil is an excellent choice for skin and overall health improvement.

 The reason the skin becomes thinner with age is due to decreased skin cell production.  Giving it the tools that it needs to produce new cells will help. 

New Skin Creams Work

There are some creams that contain ingredients which boost skin-cell production.  Algae extracts and the active form of the protein keratin have been shown to increase the number of new cells, which over time, will improve thickness and reduce the appearance of baggy eyes.

How to Really Get Rid of Baggy, Puffy Eyes

Products containing EYELISS and HALOXYL, European ingredients that have been used by celebrities for many years, have been shown in clinical trials to reduce puffy eyes over the course of 28 days.  These ingredients reduce dark circles, as well, in case that happens to be a problem for you.

The best course of action is to use a daily moisturizer type day cream, as well as an  eye contour gel.  The gel should contain the ingredients that are proven effective for getting rid of baggy eyes.
