Unflattering eye bags are a common side effect of aging. Although rarely indicative of a more serious medical problem, this physical change is synonymous with getting older. Eye bags are difficult to conceal and are often still visible even after applying cosmetics. Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, can reduce the appearance of under-eye bags for a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
What are eye bags and how are they caused?
As you get older, the skin and muscles around your eyes begin to relax. The fat that surrounds your eye can also migrate down into the lower eyelids, causing persistent puffiness. Dark circles, swelling, and wrinkles can significantly age you or make you appear perpetually tired. Lack of sleep, smoking, allergies, sun damage, and fluid retention can make eye bags appear worse. Although eye bags are inevitable for many people, preventative care can resolve the condition for a more attractive look.
How can I Prevent from Forming?
Taking a proactive approach to preventing eye bags can help you preserve a more youthful look. First and foremost, you should maintain a healthy lifestyle. Start by incorporating the following into your daily routine:
- Regular exercise
- Healthy foods that are low in sodium
- Consistent sleep schedule
- A skincare regimen that works for your skin type, climate, and schedule
- Avoid excessive alcohol consumption
- Avoid smoking
