Causes of bags under the eyes
There may be several reasons.
- The dermis under the eyes is too thin and tends to be transparent, so swelling and bruising may occur there.
- Allergy to anything.
- Dehydration and iron deficiency.
- Bad habits (tobacco, alcohol, coffee).
- Reduction of subcutaneous fat in the area under the eyes during the aging process or due to sudden weight loss.
- Diseases.
- Lack of sleep and chronic stress.
As we see, there can be many reasons. Some are within our power to eliminate, others are not. Therefore, if the formation of bags bothers you for a long time and there are accompanying troubles (for example, feeling unwell), we recommend that you consult a doctor and undergo the necessary tests.

Cosmetic dictionary: correctors, highlighters and others...
Anticerne is a French marketing invention. A light creamy corrector for dark circles under the eyes (in fact, one of the meanings of the French word cerne is “blue, circles under the eyes”). They often contain reflective particles to better camouflage crow's feet. Brands that adhere to English terminology usually do not have anti-sulphurs - they only have correctors (concealers). If you need a corrector for the area around the eyes, look for the inscription eye corrector ( concealer) or study the instructions and composition: ordinary correctors may contain antibacterial components and even alcohol, which in this case are useless.
Bronzer or bronzant (bronzer, bronzant) is the name given to various bronzing products (powders, gels, creams, etc.) with “bronzing” particles that give the skin a tan shade. This tan is easily washed off during water procedures - this is the main difference between bronzers and autobronzant , the active components of which color the epidermal cells due to a chemical reaction.
Concealer is a thicker camouflage product than foundation for hiding pimples, redness, broken blood vessels, dark circles under the eyes and other troubles.
Corrector (from English corrector or from French correcteur ) . Same as concealer. Although some believe that correctors are thicker, are not intended for the area around the eyes, and are often colored (and concealers are only in flesh tones), many brands also have correctors for the area around the eyes ( eye fatigue corrector, under - eye corrector and etc. ), and colored thick concealers.
Concealer-correctors can be applied both under foundation (if they are silicone or alcohol-based) and on top of it (cream correctors), blending the edges with a brush or fingertips. Color correctors (light green, yellow, lilac) are mixed with beige corrector or foundation and work on the principle of color contrast. Light green - to disguise redness and pimples, lilac - to disguise freckles and yellowish age spots, yellow - to make it easier to hide the blue under the eyes, and so on.
Luminizer, or luminizer. This is the name given to various products with tiny reflective or pearlescent particles that give the skin a slight glow. Another name for them is shimmer. It can be powder, cream or gel, spray - for the face, body or even hair.
Transparent powder is translucent powders that are practically invisible on the skin. Often used to fix makeup.
Highlighter is a light, lightweight translucent concealer, often with reflective or pearlescent particles. Used to place accents, for example, highlighting the area under the eyebrow, the hollow above the upper lip, etc.
Shimmer is almost the same as an illuminator, a product for adding shine and radiance to the skin, with sparkles, mica and reflective components. The sparkles in shimmers are usually a little larger, but this is a convention.
How to get rid of bags under the eyes at home: methods
Cold: water, spoon or ice cubes
Cold increases blood circulation. Therefore, we use cold means at hand: just water, cubed ice or spoons. We recommend wrapping the ice in a soft, thin cloth and applying it to your eyes for a couple of minutes. Or place a few spoons in the freezer and then apply to the swelling until the spoons begin to warm up. Change spoons immediately afterwards.
Cucumber
Cucumber contains substances that help reduce swelling. Cut the vegetable into slices and place in the freezer for 10 minutes. Then take it out and apply it to your eyes for 10 minutes. You can repeat this procedure several times a day.
Tea bags
The tea also contains ingredients that help reduce swelling. And again we present a method associated with cold, which has a beneficial effect on blood circulation. Brew tea without additives, remove the tea bags and place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. Take it out and apply it to your eyes for 15 minutes.
Cold and hot shower
A contrast shower has a very good effect on blood circulation and metabolism, so take it in the morning and notice that the swelling will decrease.
Egg white and almond butter
But here is a method that is not associated with temperature changes. Egg white and almond oil restore elasticity to the dermis and prevent puffy eyes. Mix the white, previously separated from the yolk, evenly and apply under the eyes. Once it dries, wash off with warm water. Almond oil can be applied throughout the night and washed off after waking up - this way you will prevent morning swelling.
Drink more water
We wrote above that one of the causes of swelling and bruising is dehydration of the body. When he does not have enough water, he begins to store it for future use. Therefore, try to drink at least 8-10 glasses of clean water per day.
Eat less salt and drink less coffee
Caffeine and salt in excess also promote water retention. Try cutting down on these substances.
Go to bed with a clean face
Golden rule: be sure to wash off your makeup at night! Otherwise, the skin will not rest overnight and may begin to darken over time. And this is a direct path to chronic bruises.

concealer for under eye circles
Makeup artists recommend using moisturizer, foundation, powder... There is also sunscreen and primer. In what order should they be used? And how many layers of cosmetics can be on the skin at the same time? So, layer by layer, as professional makeup artists do, and professional dermatologists advise: The first rule is to always start with a clean face. Choose a cleanser that leaves your face matte. If the skin is very oily, then cleansers with zinc do a good job of removing excess sebum. First layer. Toner Even the best detergents leave behind oils, grease, makeup, and particles of the detergent itself. The tonic cleanses all these residues and soothes the skin. Toners containing alpha hydro acids kill bacteria that contribute to acne. It’s easy to use the toner: apply the liquid to a cotton pad and gently wipe the skin of your face and neck with it. Second layer. Treatment of problem areas You should pay attention to pimples, blackheads, and redness. To do this, use products with spot application. Apply the treatment to the pimples, and wait 10-15 minutes before applying the next layer. Third layer. Serum Many people consider serum an unnecessary product and do not understand how to use it during the day. A serum is not a moisturizer, it is a product of concentrated active ingredients. You can think of the serum as a multivitamin for the face. The serum can breathe a stream of vigor and energy into the skin and improve the functioning of the moisturizer.
In addition, the serum increases collagen production and helps prevent the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The serum does not have to be applied to the entire surface of the face; it is enough to apply to very dry areas, as well as to the area of crow’s feet and facial wrinkles. There are serums designed to combat puffiness or bags under the eyes, so they should be applied under the eyes. Fourth layer. Moisturizer Even if you have oily or combination skin, moisturizing is an essential part of any skin care routine. This helps prevent hyperpigmentation, dryness, and protects the skin from harmful environmental influences. To achieve glowing skin, try light cream formulas with hyaluronic acid, antioxidants and vitamins. Gel cream is a great option for those who don’t really like a greasy feeling on their face.
Fifth layer. Sunscreen Don't leave home without a cream with SPF, even if you go to the office and your moisturizer has a sun filter. This double protection will affect you in the future - you will look younger than your peers. To avoid clogging your pores, find a light, oil-free cream or lotion. Now you have made all the preparations before makeup, and you can start applying decorative cosmetics. Makeup, by the way, also consists of more than one layer. Sixth layer. Primer Take care of the primer first. A primer is especially needed in hot weather, on important events (weddings, anniversaries), and also when long-lasting makeup is needed for more than 6 hours. Seventh layer. Apply foundation with a brush or fingers. Start from the center of the face and blend the product outwards. For young and healthy skin, full coverage of the face is not required; you can limit yourself to a light layer on the cheeks, forehead, and chin.
Eighth layer. Concealer It is better to mask pimples, dark circles and other skin imperfections over foundation. Because the foundation creates a kind of base, a foundation for the product. The concealer will not float and will remain in place. Use a targeted approach, applying concealer only to the pimple or age spot. Shade the edges with a thin brush. Ninth layer. Powder If you like the look of glowing skin that cream products give, then you can skip the powder. However, for oily skin and long-lasting makeup, this product can be called a must-have. Be sure to apply it to the T-zone. Alternative to layers 6-9. BB Cream This product combines primer, foundation, concealer and offers excellent hydration throughout the day. Therefore, if you have already selected a BB cream that suits you, then your makeup time will be significantly reduced. Don't forget about blush or bronzer; they are applied on top of all tinting products. And all that remains is to find out in what order you should proceed when applying eye makeup. Mascara, shadows, eyeliner - what follows what? 1. Start with eye shadow. This will help highlight your eyes and decide if eyeliner is needed. If the shadows are quite saturated, for a natural look it will be enough just to add mascara to the eyelashes.
2. Next comes eyeliner. It's easier to do with bare eyelashes. Then it is easier to maintain symmetry and an even line. 3. And completes the eye makeup - mascara. In general, mascara should always be the final touch of makeup, then the shades of the makeup will be pure. And if particles of shadow or powder get on the eyelashes, then they will all be covered with mascara, and the eyelashes will be lush and voluminous.
Special products against bruises and swelling
There are also special products for the skin around the eyes that help reduce bruising and swelling. They contain valuable extracts (for example, caffeine, which is useful when used externally, and green tea), which have a beneficial effect on blood circulation.
Patches come first. There is a little secret, again related to the cold. Keep the patches in the refrigerator and apply them cold - this will enhance their results and speed up blood circulation.
