How An Eye Spa Treatment Can Help Get Rid Of Bags Under Your Eyes is courtesy of Jiva - Toronto Beauty Spa
In the morning, we don’t always look our best. Flopping around all night in bed can leave you with wild hair and a smushed face.
Of course, lots of us get the dreaded bags under the eyes as well. This is one of the most common beauty-related issues many people face. But where do these dark circles come from? And what can you do about it? Read on to find out!
(Spoiler alert: an eye spa treatment can help!)
What Causes Bags Under The Eyes?
While some call them dark circles, they aren’t always dark. Sometimes, the area under the eyes is just swollen or puffy. This is a result of fluid or fat building up in that area.
Why is it accumulating there? This is a natural part of the aging process, but it can also be triggered by several environmental causes. This includes a high sodium diet, lack of sleep, and dehydration. If you’re experiencing bags under your eyes, try addressing one of these three factors in your life.
But while these can help, sometimes you need to bring out the big guns. Here are some of the most effective ways to get rid of bags under your eyes.
Use A Cream
The benefit of under-eye cream is that it’s the least invasive and most accessible way of dealing with this issue. Most women have an evening beauty routine that involves facial cleansers, toners, and moisturizers anyway, so it’s not a big deal to add an under-eye cream to the mix.
When choosing a cream, find one that has either caffeine or hyaluronic acid – these creams tend to be more effective.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance your skin naturally manufactures anyway, and is the active ingredient in Juvederm treatments. But more on that later.
What hyaluronic acid does is to act as a cushion and lubricant between the tissues in your body, hydrating and plumping sagging skin. Meanwhile, caffeine helps to tighten skin and drain excess fluids from your body.
Use Tea Bags
You may have heard this one from your mother when you were younger, but it’s just as relevant today as it’s ever been. Placing wet tea bags on your eyes has many benefits.
First of all, they contain caffeine, which as we mentioned above helps tighten your skin and drain excess fluids from the area. But they also have tannins, an organic substance found in many different plant tissues. Tannins are what give dry wines their flavour, but they also help to decrease the swelling in the area and reduce discolouration as well.
If you’re on a tight budget, or have run out of product before you got a chance to replace it, or you got several boxes of tea for Christmas and don’t really drink that much tea, this is an ideal solution. Place the wet teabags in the fridge for about 20 minutes or so to cool them off, then lay one on each eye for about 10-15 minutes. And naturally, caffeinated tea works best here.
Juvederm
Juvederm treatments can be used to help get rid of bags under your eyes as well. While Juvederm treatment is more invasive than a cream or a teabag, it also offers a longer-lasting solution, keeping your eye area youthful looking for up to a full year.
Juvederm can help smooth the contours of the area around your eyes to give it a more youthful appearance. This also has the added benefit of smoothing out crow’s feet and fine lines.
