What Causes Bags and Discoloration?
Some of the most common reasons why you might have bad or discolored under-eyes revolve around lifestyle choices on a daily basis.
If you are not drinking enough water you should increase your daily water intake. Water helps with overall body health and it will boost your skin and its natural glow. Aim for two liters per day and your skin will thank you.

Sensitive skin or allergies can also add to this. If you have sensitive skin that is prone to irritation or allergies, your under eyes are naturally a lot puffier. This drainage and loss of water will show especially around the under-eye area.
If you are not getting enough sleep this is a problem too. Your body needs to rest and regenerate. Make sure that you treat it kindly and aim for eight hours each night.
Also, make sure to use SPF. You should wear a cream that has an SPF, or even a foundation with an SPF. UV-radiation is actually the second reason why people lose collagen and end up with wrinkles or fine lines.
You should always use a night cream before you go to bed. If you also add a serum or an eye cream to your routine, your skin will easily sink all of that in and will look 10 times healthier and plumper.
