Sometimes bags under your eyes are the result of your sleeping position. If you sleep on your stomach, (and sometimes even on your side) fluid tends to pool under your eyes, so make a conscious effort to sleep on your back. This also helps reduce facial wrinkles as you get older. Sleeping on your side can etch wrinkles into your forehead, cheeks and chin . Not surprisingly, there are anti-aging and Anti-Wrinkle Pillows on the market to help you adjust to your ideal sleeping position.

Not to overstate the obvious, but also get a good night’s sleep when you can, as lack of sleep is another contributing factor with the puffies.
