Designer purses are the only type of bags us girls desire to have. Unfortunately things such as environmental stress, allergies, and water retention cause bags underneath our eyes. There are plenty of beauty hacks to resolve under eye woes, and identifying the root cause will let you know which remedy is right for you. Wondering how to get rid of bags under your eyes? These top tips will have you fresh-faced and de-puffed.
It’s Never Too Early
Dark circles, puffiness (otherwise known as bags), and sagging underneath eyes can happen to women of all ages. For those in their 20s, dark circles are not a blemish to write off as something that only happens to older women. There are plenty of makeup tips that help diminish the appearance, but how to get rid of bags under your eyes in your mid-to-late 20s starts with getting enough rest, hydration, and shying away from overexposure to sunlight.
Your Kitchen Is Your Best Friend
DIY treatments, like resting cold tea bags on your eyelids, is a great start on how to get rid of bags under your eyes. It looks like something from a sitcom, but the caffeine and antioxidants from tea boosts the circulation around your sensitive eye area. After brewing tea as normal, place the tea bags in the fridge until cool. Then place the tea bags on your eyes for 10-15 minutes. The tea bag treatment can be done daily and is an inexpensive way to get rid of bags under your eyes. You will start to see results over time but this is especially helpful for those who wear a lot of eye makeup.
Hack Away
Other beauty hacks include using potato or tomato juice and applying it directly to your under eye area. It sounds crazy but grating a potato and using its juice on your skin is beneficial – potato juice contains vitamins and antioxidants. It can even be mixed with lemon juice for added nutrients like Vitamin C. Just be sure to not get any juice in your eyes.

Perfect Your Skincare Routine
Simply washing off all of your makeup at night does wonders for the skin. It allows the skin to breathe and not be irritated by products throughout the night. Not washing off eye makeup creates dark circles and puffiness.
When All Else Fails…
Another easy fix for getting rid of bags under your eyes is concealer. But not just any concealer. Brands like Kat Von D and Nars make some of the best concealers on the market. The rich, creamy textures easily blend with skin and provide full coverage.
