It can cause your eyes to swell up and look puffy.
Too Much Intake of Sodium and Alcohol – Eating foods high in salt and drinking alcohol before you go to bed will cause retention of excess fluids within your body (face included). Salt or sodium tends to hold not just one, but two molecules of water at the same time. On the other hand, alcohol carry toxins which slows down the circulation of fluids within your body. You need to refrain or at least limit your intake of alcohol and salt, especially before you go to sleep. Doing so will help curb the formation of those horrible looking under eye bags.

Applying Cold Compress – Take some ice cubes, place them right in the center of a clean cloth (i.e. wash towel, handkerchief etc) and wrap it all around the ice. Now, gently dab it along the puffy, swollen skin. Do this for several minutes. The coldness of the ice will help shrink your distended skin tissues.
Apply Tea Bags – Tea bags works great due to their tannin properties. Leave wet tea bags over your eyelids for several minutes in order to reduce not just the swelling, but the discoloration along your eyes as well.
Perform facial Exercise – Close your eyes firmly and begin looking up and then down. Next, open your eyes widely and then relax. Take a quick breather and repeat the entire procedure again. This will help tone the skin along your eyes and will also prevent fluid from getting retained along the eye region.
