Why We Get Dark Circles and How to Get Rid of Them

4. Try out natural ingredients.

Cucumbers and used tea bags are two things you probably already have at home that can help you get rid of eye bags. Cucumbers have significant cooling and anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce puffiness under the eyes. The caffeine and tannins in tea bags also help to reduce swelling and tighten the skin. For the best results, put the cucumber or tea bags on your dark circles for 5 minutes as a cold compress, then wash your face.
