You can try applying an eye cream that contains caffeine to help bring down puffiness.

Bags under your eyes can be inflammation due to lack of sleep or allergies. They can also be caused by eating salty foods or by sleeping without your head elevated. Heredity can also play a role.

Expert Answer

To get rid of the bags you'll need to reduce the swelling. Applying cold tea bags or cucumber slices will help immediately. Remaining upright, moving to improve circulation, and drinking plenty of water will also help.
