What would you recommend for preventing undereye bags before you get them?

I've noticed some the women in my family have this tendency to undereye bagginess, so I may have a gentic predisposition to it and want to stop it before it starts. Presently, I use a peptide cream on my undereye area. I wondered what anyone else would recommend?

I suppose a diet low in sodium and high in anti oxidant fruits and veggies would help?

Well, that's a good question! You're right in thinking that avoiding the things that contribute to bags is a good idea. Exercises could firm up the muscles and skin surrounding the eye and give it some extra support and tautness. Here is a program that is easy to do:

i,m sure under eye bags are inherited ,and not much you can do to avoid them.
i had eye bags bigger than a suitcase (yes all my family had),but i resorted to a plastic surgeon to get mine fixed.
PS/what i,m sure makes them worse,is the overuse of eye creams.!

Thanks Fawnie.

I think there is a lot of confusion between puffy eyes (swelling, fluid retention) and actual bags under the eyes that wont go away and do need removal by a plastic surgeon. No eye cream is gonna help either!

I'm still young enough to prevent myself from faling to the heredity fate, so I'll give it everything I've got for sure. It's admirable that you tackled your under eye prblems with surgery, but I hope to be able to avoid the knife. That really would scare me.

start using a preventive and repair skin care system. This will help your skin remember its youth

Don' cry. Crying leaves me with under eye puffiness every time.

The number one factor that caused my undereye bags is when I started going to bed late. I used to go to bed around 11pm, then for social reasons started going to bed around 2-3am. It didn't matter that I got enough sleep - going to bed that late caused dark circles and undereye bags within months!
