Dehydration, lack of sleep, eating habits and poor lifestyle are all factors that contribute to bags forming under the eyes. This becomes visible because the skin in the area is very thin.

The best way to prevent this condition is to get adequate sleep. 7 hours of sleep is recommended in order for the body to get the right amount of rest. Remember when you sleep the body heals itself and this prevents any sagging or dark circles under the eyes.

Dehydration is also a cause of bags forming under the eyes and this must be taken care of by offering the body plenty of hydration. I recommend only drinking water as it is the safest and purest form of hydration; however drinking fresh fruit juices have their benefits too. Just remember not to let the juices replace your water consumption.

In order to remove the bags and dark circles from under the eyes you need to have a strict beauty regime. Start with using lemon juice under your eyes; this can be used to exfoliate the skin. Rub the juice gently all over your under eye area and massage it gently. Then wash it off with warm water. This will help to remove any dead skin and discoloration that may have be visible.

Immediately after washing your face use a moisturizer under your eyes. You can also use an under eye cream on the skin under your eyes. Massage the area regularly in order to increase the blood circulation; this prevents water retention and also dark eyes.

At night before you go to bed place cucumber slices in your eyes in order to cool the surface of the skin. You could also dip the slices in lemon juice and apply this on your eyes. This will help to get rid of the dead skin and also gets rid of any puffiness.

Herbs like chamomile, dill and rosemary are also helpful to cure this condition. The best way to consume these herbs is to brew it with your cup of tea. Also make sure that you are getting an adequate amount of vitamin C and E through your diet. Avoid smoking; it will prevent puffiness and dark marks on your face.
