How Men Can Diminish Under Eye Bags



Under eye bags are common sign of aging. While aging is a completely natural process, symptoms such as under eye bags, fine lines and wrinkles may make you look older than you actually are. Moreover, aging is not the only cause of under eye bags. A sedentary lifestyle, poor exercise habits and lack of sleep are other common causes of puffiness around the eyes. While generally considered a women’s problem, under eye bags affect both men and women equally. However, finding products that meet the men’s needs in the market can be rather difficult. However, there are a number of simple remedies to help men get rid of under eye bags. 

There are a number of simple yet effective remedies that help men diminish under eye bags. One of the most common is the eye gel mask. Perfect for reducing under eye bags, the eye gel mask contains several healthy ingredients that help rejuvenate the skin around your eyes. These include hyaluronic acid, glycerin and Kojic acid as well as vitamins C, E and K. 

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring ingredient present in the skin. Used in a number of high quality skin creams and moisturizers, hyaluronic acid helps stimulate the skin increasing firmness and elasticity which significantly improves the appearance of fine lines around the eyes. Glycerin is an effective humectant that keeps moisture locked in. This increases the skin’s softness and elasticity. Moreover, the use of glycerin as an ingredient in facial creams makes it an ideal ingredient in shaving creams thanks to its superior lubricant properties. Kojic acid is a unique ingredient that is often used to brighten skin appearance as well as reduce the appearance of darkened areas around the eyes. The vitamins C, E and K all add antioxidant properties to skin creams and eye gel masks. As such, they are essential to the protection and repair of the skin which significantly reduces puffiness and under eye bags.

If you would like simpler alternatives to eye creams and eye gel masks, you could try any one of these simple remedies. Start by drinking plenty of water. One of the common causes of under eye bags is retention of salt around the area. You can easily flush the salt away by drinking plenty of water as well as avoiding salty foods.

Secondly, try soothing your eyes with something cold such as cold cucumbers or cold tea bags. While it may sound strange, this remedy is highly effective as a quick fix. Simply take two cold tea bags or slices of cucumber, place them over your eyes and allow the nutrients to soak into your eyes. Allow the tea bags or cucumbers to rest for approximately 15 minutes then rinse with cold water. You should notice an effect right away. However, be sure to prepare the cucumber the night before especially if you tend to be affected by under eye bags.
