Nasal Irrigation

The mucus in your nose can also lead to eye bags. So, take a Neti Pot with clean water, either boiled and cooled, and then rinse the sinuses of your nose with it, removing all the mucus.

Hydration

Dehydration is also a main cause of under-eye bags. So, drink at least 6 to 12 cups of water every single day, and it could be more or less depending on your age, activity, and health.

Retinol Cream

There are vitamin A-based creams that improve collagen and elasticity in your skin. Get one suitable for your face type and apply once daily, half an hour after washing your face. Avoid using such creams during pregnancy.

Skin-Lightening Products

Skin-lightening products like hydroquinone creams can reduce dark circles under your eyes by limiting melanin production. Use this cream consistently to get the best results.

Sunscreen

Sunscreen doesn’t just protect you against UVA/UVB rays; it also prevents discolouration, under-eye darkness, and premature ageing. Whenever you go out, don’t leave without applying SPF-30 sunscreen.

Nightly Face Care

If you don’t do nightly face care, start doing it now. Just wash your face before going to bed, especially if you wear makeup. It’ll prevent irritation, infection, and oxidative stress under the eyes.

Adequate Sleep

Lack of sleep can also cause eye bags. So, sleep at least 7 to 8 hours every night, which not only corrects the eye bags but also improves the overall tone of the skin.

Collagen-Rich Foods

Include vitamin C-packed foods, like oranges, peppers, kale, broccoli, and strawberries, to help your body make collagen and keep skin healthy.

Iron-Rich Foods

Iron deficiency can also lead to dark under-eye circles. Make sure that you eat foods that have a good amount of iron. These foods include dried fruits, poultry, seafood or red meat.
