Baggy eyes can be caused by much more than staying up too late, according to EyeCareBasics.com. Too much salt, toxins in the body or genetics can also play a role. Exercise can help alleviate this unsightly problem, but consult your doctor before getting started.
Accupressure Point
This exercise helps ease the bagginess under your eyes by using acupressure, according to FacialExerciseGuide.com. It's performed by putting the forefingers of both hands on either side of your nostrils. Press on this point with both index fingers, using a steady, gentle pressure. For a variation of this exercise, use a slight circular motion on the sides of your nostrils. The website says this exercise releases trapped toxins in your body that can cause baggy eyes.
"Well, I Am Shocked!"
This exercise, recommended by the facial exercise page at FacialExerciseGuide.com, is performed by widening your eyes as if you were surprised while keeping the muscles and skin of your forehead relaxed. Look straight ahead and hold this position for about 10 seconds. The website recommends that you perform four repetitions.
Skin-Tightening Exercises
These exercises are performed while seated. Close your eyes and keep them closed while lifting your eyebrows, using the muscles of your forehead to stretch your skin. Repeat this six times. Keep your eyes closed and look up and down as far as you can. Repeat this 10 times. Now open your eyes and repeat both exercises, according to BeautyandMakeupTips.org.
