How to Say Goodbye to Under-Eye Bags 

by

I was just thinking about how much I love starting my day with a green smoothie and a moment of reflection—it’s become my little ritual for feeling grounded and ready to face the world. What’s your favorite way to kick off your day?

Now, onto a question I often receive—can an eye cream help with under-eye bags? My answer is a little nuanced 🤔 It’s both yes and no. To truly see results, we need to start by understanding the root cause of the issue.

An eye cream alone won’t completely fix the problem, but the right one can boost microcirculation, help drain the area, and temporarily reduce puffiness.

If you’re noticing puffiness or signs of aging around your eyes, it’s worth reflecting on your overall lifestyle. Stress, for example, can trigger your adrenal glands, leading to increased cortisol production. This stress hormone breaks down collagen and elastin in the skin, leaving it less firm and more prone to inflammation.

Step 1: Check In with Your Lifestyle ✨

Ask yourself:
Am I getting enough restorative sleep? 💤
Am I staying active and moving my body? 🏃
Is stress a big part of my daily life? 😰
Am I eating a nutrient-rich diet? 🥗

When these areas are out of balance, they can affect your overall well-being, including your skin. Here are some tips to get back on track:

Add one green juice and one smoothie to your day for an extra nutrient boost 🥬
Fill at least half your plate with vegetables and let the rest follow naturally 🥗
Stay hydrated by drinking 10 glasses of water each day 💧
Dedicate 30 minutes daily to mindfulness or deep breathing exercises to manage stress effectively 🧘‍♀️
Supplements like magnesium, silica, cell salt as calcium flour support healthy, elastic skin, especially around the eyes.
Step 2: Use the Right Eye Cream and Apply It with Care ✨
The skin around your eyes is delicate, so avoid using regular face creams here—they’re often too heavy and can lead to puffiness. Instead, choose a lightweight, organic eye cream for this area.
When applying, remember:
Gently dab the cream with your fingertips—never tug or pull at the skin 🧴
Apply it under your eyes, working from the outer corners inward. Avoid putting the cream on your eyelid or too close to your lash line, as it can cause swelling.
You can apply the cream beneath your brow for extra hydration and lift 💫
Combining these skincare tips with a balanced lifestyle will make you notice a visible difference in how your skin feels and looks! 🙌
