Get Rid of Undereye Bags with Dermalogica and Decleor

There are a number of causes of swelling under the eyes, also know as “eye bags”, such as tiredness, allergies, dehydration and genetics. For some people, eye bags are an inevitability; look at your parents. Do they have them? If they do then the chances are higher that you might. However, it doesn’t matter what causes them, there are things you can do to reduce the appearance of bags under your eyes. Whether you’re carrying a small clutch or a wheeled suitcase, we’ve got tips on how to reduce them!

Reduce Salt

One cause of eye bags is excessive amounts of salt in your diet. Without getting too ‘science-y’, it’s something to do with water collecting in areas of your body which have low sodium levels and apparently the area below your eyes is a prime example. Opting for low-sodium options will have a knock-on effect, improving your health and the look of your eyes.

Sleeeeeep!

Okay, so for some of us suggesting we get more sleep is just not an option. New parents, shift workers and insomniacs all know that sleep can be elusive, but a lack of sleep really can have an effect on both your health and your appearance. Fatigue will cause bags, but a serum such as Decleor Hydrotenser Anti-Fatigue Eye Serum will reduce puffiness and also improve the appearance of fine lines.

Deal With Your Allergies

Allergies are one of the number one causes of puffy eyes with dust, pollen and animal allergies being the most common irritants. Ensuring you take a decent anti-histamine which reduces your allergies is important for both your appearance and your overall feeling of wellbeing. Dermalogica Total Eye Care SPF15 protects and refreshes your delicate eye areas during the day and has the added bonus of it’s own SPF.

Avoid Irritants

Some of us have skin which is simply too delicate to deal with perfumed cosmetics and heavy make up, and will react by swelling. Opting for gentle products which are sympathetic to sensitive skin is a must – cleanse with something very delicate like Decleor Soothing Micellar Water and follow with Decleor Harmonie Calm Relaxing Milky Gel-Cream for Eyes to properly cleanse ad soothe the area.

Live Clean

This one may sound a little boring but clean living is the first step towards bag-free eyes – smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol are two of the most common causes of waking up with bags under your eyes, followed by over-indulgence on unhealthy food. Treat yourself occasionally, but try to be as healthy as possible on a day-to-day basis.
