The quickest way to naturally get rid of bags or at least reduce their appearance is to use Tokatsu’s facial yoga exercise she calls “the eye bag toner.” It specifically targets under eye bags and wrinkles. The method is a quick, simple to perform and can be done anywhere.

- Repeat 3 times
- Reduce salt intake
- Sleep on your back
- Stop smoking
- Protect your eyes from UV rays
- Reduce alcohol intake
