Everything You Need to Know About Getting Rid of Under-Eye BagsWe've all got baggage ... and if yours is the under-eye variety, you need these fixes now |
Puffiness May Be More of Your Problem While not technically the same kind of under-eye bags as those that come with age, puffiness is another cause of under-eye issues. "The area under the eyes is anatomically prone to retain water and can easily look swollen and puffy," explains Chiu. Things like diet and sleeping position can affect this (more on that later), but if it seems like your puffiness is persistent, the culprit may be allergies, which can cause this consistently swollen appearance, says Chiu. It's especially important to keep puffiness at bay if you know you're genetically predisposed to those bulging fat pads we mentioned earlier: "When the area is always swollen, the skin becomes stretched out and more prone to sagging and laxity long-term," notes Rouleau.
