A mask is a good idea all around, but it won't help under your eyes. Also be sure that if you are using a mask that you are using the right one for your skin, or you will have more breakouts.
To correct your problem, you need a few essentials The first one is an undereye cream for your bags. Lancome and Loreal are both great. Be sure that when you apply the cream you use your 4th finger and PAT the cream in. Your fourth finger will apply the least amount of pressure, and patting in the cream will not stretch or wrinkle the thin skin under your eye. 2nd, you need some cucumber pads for your eyes, leave them on for 5-15 minutes a few times a week- you can use actual cucumbers, but that gets a little messy. You may want to think about getting an eye wrap also. These wrap around your face, and if you put it in the freezer for a few minutes it will be nice and cool. If you try to do these things at least once a week you should see a significant change within a few weeks. Until you see improvement, use an undereye concealer, (yellow based) . Use the fourth finger to apply this also. If you wear foundation, put it on AFTER the foundation, if not it will just wipe away. Be sure to blend well. Good luck!!!"

That's very interesting about the dairy products...I wonder what that's all about?"

cvalh said: "there are masks (i don't mean make-up, i mean things you could put over your face for like 15 minutes), or you could try a cold washcloth for about the same amout of time. sometimes this brings down the puffyness. you didn't say what skin tone you have, but if there are dark circles under your eyes, you could try a concealor with a yellow base to it. to make your eyes look bigger, you can put a white shean right at the inside corner or wear a white liner.
hope this helps."
cvalh said: "when i said masks, i was talking about those solid things that look like masquerade masks that you can buy... not creamy stuff for your face :) just wanted to clarify that. you shouldn't put those creamy masks anywhere near your eyes."

UniqueMystique said: "I've known several people who are healthy and look great except for those bags under the eyes. These people have an allergy to milk products. I could always tell if they'd snuck a piece of cheese or had a glass of milk. If you try everything else and they are still there.....try not using any dairy products for a week and see if anything changes."
