Aging, poor sleep, and stress can all show up under your eyes. Puffy and saggy eye bags can make you look tired or make you look older than you feel. Here are a few things you can do to get rid of puffy eye bags at home.

## Prioritize Sleep
Getting your beauty rest really does make a difference! Sleeping 7 to 9 hours every night can help you look and feel refreshed. If you often wake up with puffy eyes or dark circles under your eyes, it’s a sign that you’re probably not sleeping enough. Along with sleeping more, you can try:
•	Sleeping on your back. Sleeping on your side or your stomach can cause fluid to build up under your eyes, causing even more puffiness. 
•	Using an extra pillow. Sleeping with your head slightly elevated can help drain any excess fluid from the area under your eyes, and prevent fluid from gathering under your eyes. 

## Stay Hydrated
Dehydration has a huge impact on your skin. Not only does it cause dry or scaly skin, but it can also cause irritation or itchiness. Dehydration is also liked to darker circles under the eyes, sunken eyes, or shadows under the eyes. Drinking more water can help you get rid of eye bags or dark circles under the eyes. Make sure you drink plenty of water every day or drink herbal teas to increase hydration.

## Boost Collagen
Collagen is essential for healthy skin. You can use a topical collagen cream under your eyes, or take a closer look at your diet. Eating foods rich in amino acids and vitamin C can boost collagen production and help repair the skin under your eyes. Try eating leafy greens, berries, oranges, bell peppers, tomatoes, and broccoli. 

## Try a Cold Compress
If your under eyes feel puffy and swollen, a cold compress might just be your new best friend. You can use chilled cucumber slices, damp tea bags, or cotton pads to achieve great results. A cold compress can lighten dark circles, reduce puffiness, and help you feel refreshed. 

## Wear Sunscreen
Did you know that sun exposure can also damage the skin under your eyes? It’s important to wear sunscreen every day to protect your skin and boost skin health. Strong UV rays can cause wrinkles and sagging under the eyes and on the rest of your face. 

## Get Botox or Fillers
The skin around your eyes is often the first to show signs of aging. This delicate skin is susceptible to wrinkles, puffiness, dark circles, and sun damage. If you notice wrinkles around the corners of your eyes, Botox can smooth away these wrinkles and help you feel more confident in your skin. If you have sagging skin under the eyes or hollows above your cheekbones, dermal fillers may be the best option. This can add volume to your face, correcting any hollows and sagging skin to help you love the way you look.
