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 |
Do You Actually Have Under-Eye Bags? "A true bag occurs when the fat pads under the eye drop and begin to bulge," explains Annie Chiu, M.D., a cosmetic dermatologist in Hermosa Beach, California. "This typically occurs with age, once skin loses collagen and becomes loose and less firm. There's no longer any support behind that fat pad, so it starts to stick out." Some women are simply genetically predisposed to getting these type of bags under the eye, which usually start to crop up in the mid-40s to the mid-50s, says Renée Rouleau, celebrity esthetician and founder of Renée Rouleau Skincare. (And, not that you need another reason to avoid it, but smoking can exacerbate this kind of baggy situation, since it leads to a loss of collagen and sagging skin.)
