This, I have found, is the most effective treatment for getting rid of eye bags straight away. While prevention is, of course, key, when you wake up with particularly prominent bags and puffiness, a cooling massage is the quickest and easiest way to reinvigorate eyes. “A gentle eye massage a few times a week will increase lymphatic circulation. This helps to reduce dark circles and minimise puffiness,” says Hamilton.
The key is to ensure you’re not ‘dragging’ skin. Because the skin around the eyes is so thin, it isn’t as elastic as other areas, meaning any sort of dragging can end up causing more harm than good. Ensure you apply a layer of eye cream first, then take a few minutes to tap the formula into the skin, around the orbital bone.
Personally, I love to incorporate some cryo into this by using cold massaging tools. Rather than dragging the tools across my eyes, I like to apply my treatment and hold my cold cryo tools over my under-eye bags. The intensely cold sensation of the tools helps to divert blood flow from the area, taking down puffiness and reducing the appearance of dark circles in a matter of minutes.
