Remedy for eye bags

bags under eyes
( 6 Aug 2007)

The skin on the face tends to be quite soft and smooth. This is particularly true of people who use facial cleaning and treatment products. One common complaint is the development of eye bags.


The term eye bags is used to define an area of loose, puffy skin that tends to hang below the eye. Eye bags affect the appearance of an individual. There may be a number of different causes for eye bags. However, it should be noted that eye bags do not classify as a medical condition. The presence of eye bags is a cosmetic problem more than anything else and the use of home remedies for eye bags is an effective eyebags cure.

There are a number of different eye bags causes that need to be considered by an individual suffering from this problem. Amongst eye bags causes, one can list medical and non medical conditions that result in eye bags. Even when medical conditions result in eye bags, the actual condition of eye bags is not considered to be a medical one. Instead, it may be listed as a symptom. Some medical eye bags causes include thyroid problems, hormonal deficiencies, kidney issues and iron deficiency. Non medical eye bags causes include sleep deficiency, fatigue, ageing, smoking and excessive caffeine consumption.

Eye bags may also be a symptom of fluid retention in the body. Fluid retention can be easily associated with a number of the medical causes listed above. When fluid retention is the problem, the patient is likely to also suffer from visible inflammation of the legs, ankles and feet.

When one wishes to eliminate bags under eyes, it is important to first rule out any medical condition that may be contributing to the condition. Once it is established that there is no hormonal imbalance or nutritional deficiency, the patient can seek home remedies for eye bags. Home remedies for eye bags can be used at any time and make it possible for the individual to treat the condition easily. Home remedies are effective and safe as they reduce the bags under the eyes naturally.

When one speaks of home remedies for eye bags, it is possible to split the remedies into two different categories. These categories are important because of the way they apply. There are indirect home remedies for eye bags that target the general improvement of an individual’s lifestyle and health. There are also direct home remedies for eye bags that are applied directly to the bags themselves to help them shrink. Direct home remedies for eye bags and dark circles seek to tighten and strengthen the skin in the area, thus leading to a reduction in the eye bags. One must remember that eye bags occur when the skin around the eyes is loose enough to allow this to happen.

In general, indirect ways to reduce bags under eyes should be applied by all individuals. These methods include improved nutrition, improved hydration and an improved exercise regime. Stress management and sleep management are also two areas that an individual must work on to eliminate bags under eyes. Some common home remedies for eye bags include the use of green tea bags and cucumber slices. Green tea bags can be used after they have been dipped in warm water for some time. One bag each can be placed over the sagging skin with the eyes kept firmly shut. The bag can also be partially squeezed before it is placed so that too much fluid does not leak out of the bag. The use of cucumber slices is a common remedy used by people across the world. One cold cucumber slice can be placed on each eye for ten to fifteen minutes. The use of cold for eye bags also applies to tea spoons which may be used after they have been placed in a fridge or freezer. The backs of these cold spoons can be placed bags to cool them, thus reducing their size over time. Application of olive oil to the area can also help in the treatment of eye bags. You could consult your doctor on treatment for other conditions that could be causing the formation of eye bags.
