Disease description:

I've been staying up late quite a bit recently, and now my under-eye bags are very noticeable—much larger than before. I've tried using eye cream, but it hasn't helped much. Could you please advise what would be the best way to treat under-eye bags?

To eliminate under-eye bags, start by adjusting daily habits. After waking up in the morning, gently massage the skin around the eyes in a clockwise direction using both hands for about five minutes. This helps promote blood circulation in the eye area and reduces puffiness. Before bedtime, it is recommended to use a lightweight, refreshing eye cream and gently massage it into the skin until fully absorbed, avoiding overly oily products. For individuals with more prominent under-eye bags, consider applying the liquid from a vitamin E capsule to the under-eye area each night before sleep for four consecutive weeks, which may help reduce the bags. Additionally, methods such as placing cucumber slices over the eyes or using chilled tea bags as cold compresses can also help alleviate under-eye bags and swelling. Regarding diet, increase intake of fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins C and B complex, avoid excessively salty or spicy foods, and reduce fluid consumption before bedtime—these are effective ways to minimize under-eye bags. By combining these comprehensive measures, under-eye bags can be effectively improved and eliminated.
