The Skin Around The Eyes
Some tips that may help remove bags under your eyes.

Since most bags under the eyes are from the build up of excess fluid, you want to gently -- yes gently help your body to release this fluid.

One way is to gently tap around the lower eye socket. With your middle finger gently tap from the corner of your eye nearest your nose and move along under your eye along the lower eye socket bone to the outside corner of the eye. Continue tapping to behind the ear lobe. Now, from the soft spot behind the ear lobe, change directions and begin tapping downward to about the area where the neck meets the shoulder. You should have no pain and you should be tapping very gently. If you have pain or have unusual reations, go to a doctor.

Another thing to try is applying a cold wet tea bags over your closed eyes (cooled in the refrigerator). The bags under your eyes can be made up of accumulated water. The tea which is a diuretic ( compound that helps your body release water) this may help with your eye bags.

Another thing to try is a eye mask that that is a kept cold in the refrigerator (not freezer)and placed over the eyes for a short period of time.

Always be gentle in this area. When you are unsure, check in with your doctor and don't be afraid to demonstrate to them so they can see what you are doing.
