Bags under the eyes

The problem of bags under the eyes

The skin around the eyes ages very quickly as it is very thin (only 0.5 mm thick) and almost entirely devoid of sebaceous glands. This means that it dries quickly and is easily irritated by external factors such as UV rays and pollution. In addition, the skin aging process begins after the age of 25 due to the decline in collagen production. Then the first puffiness may appear, e.g. under the eyes, i.e. commonly known bags under the eyes.

The causes of bags under the eyes

Most often, bags under the eyes, especially in people under 40, are related to the lifestyle. Chronic stress, not getting enough sleep, blinding the night away - all this causes us to wake up in the morning with swelling under the lower eyelid, commonly known as bags under the eyes. Their formation is also largely influenced by a diet rich in highly processed products, with a lot of sugar and salt - it causes water retention in the body, which causes swelling. Likewise, too much coffee, alcohol, smoking. This problem is also more common for people who drink little - the body then tries to "save" its water resources for later, storing it in tissues.
