Eyes are the windows to the soul and often the first facial feature that many people are attracted to - so it should be the sparkle in your eyes that attracts other to you, not the dark circles and bags under your eyes.
This type of negative "baggage" can have a direct impact on your looks; they give the appearance that you are constantly stressed and ill.
The skin around your eyes is very delicate and because of this, it is the first area that shows signs of aging. Genetics may play a big part in fluid retention and excess fat around your eyes.
Many people may believe that surgery or painful Botox treatments are their only recourse, but thankfully, facial exercises, dietary and lifestyle changes can all reduce excess water that may build up in the blood vessels under the eyes.
Besides genetics, other causes of bags under the eyes can be caused by:
1. Loose facial muscles.
2. Sinus infections.
3. Lack of sleep.
4. Iron deficiency.
5. Imbalanced hormones.
6. Allergies.
7. Smoking.
8. Excess caffeine.
9. Thyroid issues.
10. Toxicity.
In addition, it is important to get your vision checked regularly because overworked eye muscles can also be a cause of bags and dark circles that appear under the eyes.
Some easy dietary changes include incorporating more whole foods into your diet. Fruits and vegetables that contain lots of water, like cucumbers, watermelon, grapes and asparagus are great food choices. Green tea and coconut water are excellent drink alternatives and a natural diuretic.
To keep your body from retaining excess fluid, it is recommended that you consume foods that are rich in potassium on a regular basis. Papaya, cantaloupe, strawberries, bananas and tomatoes are great food choices that are high in natural potassium.
Dark leafy greens (like kale and spinach) as well as bell peppers, carrots and nuts will provide your skin with much needed vitamin A, C and E.
Fried foods, caffeine, alcohol, white sugar, and salt are foods that increase fluid retention in the body and face. By avoid these foods that will steal your beauty, you have provided your skin with a great advantage to not falling victim to premature aging. It is advised to keep your daily sodium (salt) intake to under 2,000 milligrams a day.
Drink plenty of water through the day to flush out toxins that may contribute to dark circles and bags under your eyes.
Stay clear of processed foods and produce that has been sprayed with pesticides. High amounts of carbohydrates may lead to facial edema and should be eaten sparingly.
Facial massage is another great way to remove bags under your eyes and tighten skin for a younger overall appearance. A quick self-facial massage should be done daily for best results. To avoid pulling skin, use a drop or two of quality olive oil.
Facial yoga exercises also helpful to keeping skin young looking and radiant. One example would be to stick out your tongue and attempt to touch the tip of your nose with your tongue. Other easy suggested yoga facial exercise can be found on the internet.
