Expert-Approved Techniques to Eliminate Under-Eye Bags
Those pesky under-eye bags can make anyone look tired, no matter how much sleep you get!
Research shows that specific massage techniques can help reduce puffiness and improve circulation in this delicate area.
Here's what actually works:
1. Gentle Lymphatic Drainage
Starting at your inner eye corner, use super-light pressure (think butterfly wings) and sweep outward. This helps move fluid that causes puffiness.
2. Strategic Muscle Work
Place your ring fingers under your eyes and create tiny resistance while blinking. This helps tone the area naturally.
3. Smart Cold Therapy
Cold spoons or cucumber slices work wonders, but keep it brief—30 seconds max per area.
4. Pressure Point Magic
Gently press along your orbital bone (the bone under your eye) for 3 seconds for each spot. This helps stimulate circulation.
5. Circulation Boost
Light tapping with your ring fingers wakes up the area and reduces morning puffiness.
Please be extra gentle with this delicate area… And consult your doctor if you have persistent concerns.
Otherwise, say goodbye to your eyebags!
XOXO,
