A SKIN expert has revealed the best methods for reversing the signs of aging on the skin under the eyes.
Georgina East revealed there are a variety of beauty treatments that target common issues including puffiness and sagging.
She has worked in the beauty industry for over 20 years, going from a job in a spa to owning Grafton Spa and Wellness Ltd.
She also runs the Harley Street skin transformation clinic SKNfluence in England.
Speaking to The U.S. Sun, East shared tips for smoothing under-eye skin.
She said self-care practices such as getting enough rest, staying hydrated, and wearing sun protection help to keep skin healthy.
However, she has two go-to products in her skincare routine specifically formulated for rejuvenating eyes.
“Matis Global-Eyes combines anti-aging matrikines to fight the effects of time,” she said.
“Silk tree extract to reduce puffiness and dark circles, and an anti-wrinkle ingredient to prevent sagging skin.”
East said Matis Relax-Eyes is a “great” alternative and the anti-fungal treatment is also designed for the fine and sensitive skin around the eyes.
East said there is a lot of buzz around small crescent-shaped eye patches that work similarly to sheet masks.
She advised being mindful of which will best suit your needs before pressing one under the eyes.
“When researching which is the best for you, Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, caffeine, and collagen,” she said.
“These patches provide an instant boost of moisture and can be great for tired mornings or as part of your skincare routine.
“You can find various options online, such as 24K gold under-eye masks, vitamin C patches, and aloe vera eye masks.”
East said skin clinics such as SKNfluence can offer personalized advice about the best products and treatments for under-eye bags.
She revealed two of the most effective treatments that can improve the unsightly skin condition.

“For professional treatments, SKNfluence offers NeoGen Plasma,” she said.
“It is a non-invasive procedure that uses plasma energy to rejuvenate and tighten the skin, which can help reduce under-eye bags.
“Lumi Eyes is another option that provides a treatment specifically designed to address under-eye concerns, promoting hydration and reducing puffiness.”
East previously spoke to The U.S. Sun about how to correctly apply eye skincare products for maximum results.
She advised gently using your ring finger to work products into the skin without tugging or stretching the area.
She said consistency is “key” to maintaining youthful-looking skin around the eyes.
Skin expert Georgina East said mild swelling or puffiness under the eyes is common.
She revealed several factors that contribute to the speed at which they develop:
“Aging: As the skin naturally ages, it experiences a loss of skin-firming proteins such as collagen and elastin,” she said.
“Lower levels of collagen create a loss of elasticity and tone in both the skin and underlying facial muscles.
“Sagging of the skin occurs, especially in the under-eye area where the skin is very thin.
“Genetics: Your genetic makeup can influence whether you’re prone to under-eye bags.
“Some people inherit a predisposition to develop them.
“Fluid Retention: Excess fluid in the body can pool under the eyes, making the lower lids look puffier and more swollen.
“Lifestyle Habits: Factors like lack of sleep, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, and poor diet can contribute to under-eye bags.
“Sun Exposure: UV radiation from the sun can accelerate skin aging and weaken the supportive structures around the eyes, leading to bags.”
