Bags Under my eyes
I'm not sure if it's from smoking the past 5 years, having a crappy diet, not enough vitamins, or all of the above, but I have the worst bags under my eyes. It's gotten to the point that make up doesn't even really help....ehhhh. I'm only 25. Jan 19 14 08:54 pm Link Rub some Hemorrhoid Cream on them. Not joking. Jan 19 14 09:24 pm Link I would be more concerned about being so fit that people will think you are photo shopped...  ..MoJan 19 14 09:25 pm Link Quit smoking, eat a healthier diet, drink plenty of water, and get enough sleep. At least that will help!

Jan 20 14 10:24 am Link I didn't always have them so I'm pretty sure it's from my shit diet and smoking. I just can't afford right now to eat more than ramen and frozen pizzas at the moment. lol. Also quitting smoking is easier said than done. Jan 20 14 11:07 am Link Sasha_Rayne wrote: Sleep is your friend! Ice mask in the morning for five minutes might help it. Vitamin E in your diet for your skin. Cut down smoking or smoke a brand you don't like to cut down your desire to smoke. Drink lots of water and non alcoholic beverages. Jan 20 14 11:15 am Link Smoking can cause dark circles as it decreases flow of healthy blood to the the skin and the eye area is so thin this darker, deoxygenated blood can be seen. Under eye puffiness can be caused by water retention and fatigue and poor, oversalted food. Both of these conditions can also be genetic...plain and simple. Lifestyle change will definitely help. Sometimes even sensitivities to certain foods will cause a lackluster appearance to the eye area but you have to start with habits. Like the heart, lungs and liver; the skin is an organ. It has an amazing functioning and unfortunately is the first organ to malfunction when the body isn't being treated well. No amount of creams will fix toxic, tired skin. Cheers and happy blending!! Jan 20 14 05:58 pm Link I definitely think then it's a combo of smoking, dehydration, and salty foods. That's too much to change at once  I need to quit my caffeine addiction.Jan 20 14 06:13 pm Link Genetically implicated 'bags' reveal themselves with aging. Yes to sorting out your diet, sleep and health, but don't be put off if this doesn't fix your bags.

In 3 days they all disapear Jan 24 14 07:52 am Link You are really young to have those. Maybe partly genes and partly your lifestyle...? Some comedic relief.

Jan 24 14 01:48 pm Link The Clarisonic Opal solves under eye puffiness on my actors when we start makeup at 5 or 6am. Can't start makeup without using this device first. It makes a huge difference under eyes. Jan 24 14 04:04 pm Link Jessica deBen wrote: I'm going to plan to eventually purchase this. Thanks for the tip! Jan 24 14 11:47 pm Link Jocelyn, You're welcome. The other device I use for facial puffiness (around cheeks) or bloating is NuFace microcurrent. It helps lift aging facial muscles too.

Look in mirror and quick now…my friend is 5 years younger than me and she look 10 years old,smoking is reverse plastic surgery.gOOd Luck Jan 26 14 08:45 pm Link The easiest, most enjoyable and almost free way to reduce bags under eyes and look younger overall: SLEEP and drink lots of WATER. Make time to sleep more than you need for a while. The human body is self healing and can reverse a lot of the signs of unhealthy wear to an extent, especially at your age. It also makes you feel good. Naturally. Of course you should absolutely change your diet and habits, but we know that will take some time and effort; but sleep and water is something that you can start doing right now with very little effort or cost and will have quick results. Another pleasant side effect of lots of sleep and water: you will find your physical addiction and cravings to smoking and caffeine to be reduced and will be much easier to quit, than otherwise. It will also put you in better moods and your brain to better handle stresses, which in turn will also, again, reduce the need for caffeine and smoking. I say these things from both personal experience and close friends' experience (both male and female) Start now while it is easier to make changes than when you get older when it is is next to impossible. Jan 27 14 10:28 pm Link BTW, if you ever get out to Northern CA, I'd hire you for a shoot. But I won't pay you with money. I'll only pay you with healthy foods, Brita filter and a Tempurpedic pillow. Ha. Jan 27 14 10:40 pm Link Here's are some things to do: 1) get sleep 2) reduce salty foods especially late at night 3) drink tons of water 4) use frozen tea bags over eyes 5) remove all makeup every night and be gentle around the eyes 6) use instant cooling eye gel (a good one is from Boscia) Feb 12 14 04:34 pm Link Thank you so much for your great question! *One time, someone told me they were smile lines.* That made me feel much better about myself;) Feb 17 14 02:30 pm Link |
