I’m 17, Male, and I have had trouble sleeping all my life. Therefore, I have really huge bags under my eyes, and I want them gone before I order contacts or anything. I know about all the natural cures, tea bags and ice and cucumbers and all that, I’m wondering if there is any other way besides alternative medicines. And please, don’t just say “Get more sleep” because I have tried, you know.

Here are a few things that have helped for me:

don’t rub your eyes, gently tap your fingers around them instead. This increases circulation and therefore decreases bags.

A SMALL amount of hemorrhoid cream applied to the bags. Make sure you don’t get it in your eye and don’t rub it on, tap it lightly on or use a q-tip to gently apply it. This is not for long term use, but it does tighten your skin. A little goes a long way.

If you’re not too embarrassed, go to the store and buy anti aging wrinkle cream.

Buy a new pillow. If you sleep with your head slightly elevated it will allow better circulation and thus less bagginess.

If you have sleep issues, you might want to to consider talking to your doctor about a sleep aid. To help you sleep you might want to look into buying a pad to put on your mattress to make it more comfortable or practice calming your mind. Try to mentally relax your entire body and make sure you have a good pre sleep routine such as taking a hot shower and not stimulating your brain. So, some things to avoid are watching TV, talking on the phone, exercising within 3 hours of your bedtime, and reading a stimulating book.

Good luck.

    There is a really good product called Teamine. I work for a dermatologist and i have tried many different eye creams. So far this one is getting the best results. I have had nothing but great feedback from my patients. Another good one is called TNS illuminating eye cream, but it does a better job with fine fines around the eyes.
