What to do if you were late at a party or simply couldn't resist a pack of chips, and the next day you need to look fresh? For such emergency cases, there are several life hacks that will help to quickly remove puffiness under the eyes. And no visits to the cosmetologist - everything can be done at home.
Raw potatoes
It turns out that potatoes can not only be fried, boiled and baked, but they are also an excellent means of skin care at home. To remove puffiness under the eyes, peel and grate the root. Apply the resulting slurry to the area of the lower eyelid and wait 15 minutes. Then wash off the product and apply a cream with collagen, elastin or hyaluronic acid on the skin - these components will improve the outflow of fluid and smooth out wrinkles.
Massage
For massage, you will need any moisturizing or nourishing cream - thanks to it, your hands will be able to slide freely over the skin, and there will be no creases. Apply the product to the area under the eyes and start exercising.
1. Place your index fingers in the inner corner of the eye and start moving up and down. Repeat 3-5 times on each side.
2. Open your mouth so that the facial tissues are stretched. Put your palms on the cheekbones and spread them in different directions - to the temples, and then go down the neck. Repeat 3-5 times.
3. Put your index fingers under the inner corner of the eye and spread them slightly by 1-1,5 cm, creating a soft tension. And now move up and down 10 times - you will get the effect of a light vibration.
4. Reposition your finger and repeat the previous exercise 5-6 times, moving along the bone to the outer edge of the eyebrow. At the end, run your hand from the temple to the ear and down the neck.
Well, that's it, goodbye, bags under the eyes!
Cold compresses
Ice cubes with cucumber juice and rose water will help remove bags under the eyes and get rid of bruises. Squeeze juice from a fresh vegetable, mix it with 2 tbsp. of rose water and pour the finished mixture into an ice cube tray. As soon as the cubes come out, put them in a paper towel and press them against the bags under the eyes for 3-4 seconds. Finally, wash with warm water.
Another life hack is with a cold spoon. Throw the cutlery in the freezer, and after 15 minutes, apply it first to the front side of the closed eye, and then the back side to the swelling. Hold the spoon until it warms up to body temperature. The cold will reduce the bags under the eyes, and the skin will tighten.
Patches
Hydrogel patches with vegetable caffeine, extracts of horse chestnut, tea or Ginkgo biloba leaves are a real treasure for those who had a sleepless night or had a good rest at a corporate party.
Cool the applicator in the refrigerator, apply it to the lower eyelid 2 mm from the eyelash line. You need to stick the patch closer to the inner corner of the eyes - so you can remove the bags under the eyes. The serum that will remain at the end of the procedure is not washed off, but is rubbed into the skin with light movements.
Aloe juice
Cut the leaves, wrap in sterile gauze and store in the refrigerator for two weeks. Aloe will accumulate more useful substances there. Rinse the finished leaves well in water and squeeze the juice out of them. To remove bags under the eyes, the extract can be used in its pure form: wipe the area around the eyes with it every day - in the morning and before going to bed.
Important: before using aloe, check if you are not allergic to it. Apply a little juice on the wrist or the bend of the elbow and wait a day. If everything is fine, use the plant for health!
Contrast wash
And here is another quick way to remove bags under the eyes. Prepare two bowls: one with cold water (about 15 °C) and the other with warm water (about 50 °C). For 5-7 minutes, wash alternately with cold and then warm water, lightly patting along the massage lines.
Such "exercise" is very useful for blood vessels: due to temperature changes, they contract and expand, and this helps to remove excess water from the tissues. You will see, your face will be fresh!
Concealer
If you have already tried everything and the result is still not 100% satisfactory, try concealing cosmetics. Choose a matte concealer with a light texture - this way you will avoid the "mask effect" and unnecessary volume under the eyes. The tool should be a little lighter than your skin tone and with a brush, so that you can work more precisely with the problem.
