A cup of camomile tea before bed will help you get a good nights beauty sleep, but don't throw away the tea bags! Pop them in the fridge and then place them in your eyes in the morning to reduce puffiness

drinking lots of water or green tea really helps.

Definitely remove mascara!!!

Take off all make up, drink a large mug of hot water with fresh lemon and have an early night!

Cut down on alcohol and take off every scrap of make-up before bed

Less booze, and an exciting new lover who puts a spring in your step

Simple: don't have kids lucky I was never bothered about sleep anyway

Take all your make up off at night and use a gentle eye make up remover .
Spray some essential oils with lavender on your pillow to help you relax and do a quick facial massage with oil to wake up looking refreshed and well rested .

Camomile and almond oil for when the skin under my eyes gets dry and serum to try to turn back time or at least slow it down a little. However, I have never found anything that reduces or really hides dark circles yet.

No caffeine after six pm. Avoid mobile phone /tablet screens 1 he pre bed. This fails when you are lying awake at 3am with restless legs, but is a great principle.
Avoid heavy meals late.

But my best tip is to not age, my skin tolerated poor sleep so much better 15years ago, and don't have small children. This will cure all eye bags, and come to think of it, many other issues too.

No booze, mascara off, coffee upon waking and wear glasses until your eyes have opened completely, everything shows through my eyes, this is what I do to reduce the 'you look tired' comments.

Make up off, and sleep in a quiet, dark room! And make sure the cat is tucked up downstairs to avoid middle of the night meowing!!

Keep well hydrated and lay off the booze. Making sure there is no residual eye make-up. Also, (I know this sounds poncey) try to make your first thought of the day a positive and happy one.

Turn the "night shift" mode on on your iPhone to remove the blue tones after 9pm. Better yet, turn your phone and telly off and curl up in bed with a Georgette Heyer.

Drinking lots of water, clean your make up off properly, don't drink lots of wine, get a decent amount of sleep.

I rarely wake up looking bright eyed, thank goodness for make up.

No caffeine, no alcohol, no children. This is why my eyes never look fresh.

Also agree re taking make up off and getting a decent night's sleep.

Get some decent sleep, wear an eye mask.
No iPad in bed, although this one I should listen to my own advice

Early to bed - or bed before you are exhausted as many times in the week as you can. No caffeine after 4pm, lots of water & not using normal moisturiser or heavy creams in the delicate eye area.

Warm bed and cool room. Never fails for me!

Yy to no children! :)
Silk pillowcase also stops creases and makes eyes look better first thing.

I read on mn that sleeping on your bag helps avoid under eyes wrinkles so I try and do that. Otherwise all the boring stuff: not too much booze, enough sleep, plus eye drops and make up on a bad day!

Using filters on the computer/phone to block blue light in order to fall asleep faster, and trying not to turn on the lights if I need to get up in the night, so that I can go back to sleep faster - anything to increase the amount of sleep!

Whoops, not sleeping on your bag, I mean your back!

Get enough sleep! At least 8 hours. I like more personally...

Early night & a good relaxing meditation app to listen to as I drift off
