Causes of Eye Bags

As you get older, your skin begins to lose its supportive structure, and the muscles around your eyes become weaker. As the thin skin in that area sags, it can look droopy. Fat that is stored around your eye sockets can fall into the area too, making it look swollen. The zone under the eyes is a prime spot for fluid accumulation, which can add to the baggy appearance.

If your eyes come with more baggage than you do, you might just be unlucky. Bags under your eyes may be a result of heredity. If your parents have puffy eyes, you might just have to put up with yours. However, many other factors can lead to under-eye sagginess.

Anything that causes you to retain water can increase the amount of fluid that gathers under your eyes. Reduce your salt intake, and make sure that you stay hydrated in order to flush excess liquid from your body. Consuming too much alcohol or caffeine can trigger your body to hold onto fluids, leading to morning eye bags.

If you sleep on a flat pillow, fluid can collect around your eyes overnight, contributing to your less-than-fresh look in the morning. Sleeping with your head raised and getting the optimal amount of sleep are important. According to Eyebags.org, sleeping too little or too much can increase the bulging around your eyes.

Treat Eye Bags Naturally

You don’t have to suffer from this kind of excess baggage. You’re probably familiar with the cucumber slice remedy for eye bags, but you can add a few more fruits to the mix to really see changes. A homemade treatment made with lemon and tomatoes can do wonders for your under-eye inflammation.

Lemon contains vitamin C, which helps strengthen the ligaments under your eyes that hold fatty tissue in place. Vitamin C also helps your skin hold on to its youth. It supports collagen production and helps prevent skin from aging.

Many people don’t get enough B vitamins in their diet. Biotin is a B vitamin that is especially important for skin health. Rich in B vitamins, tomatoes can help alleviate skin issues that lead to eye bags.

To make your own treatment for eye bags, squeeze the juice out of a slice of tomato. Combine it with the juice from half a lemon. Apply the mixture to your under-eye area using a cotton swab, making sure that you don’t get the acidic liquid in your eyes. After 15 minutes, rinse off the mixture and apply a high-quality under-eye cream.

This quick and easy treatment uses household products to improve the appearance of eye bags. Use it whenever you need to diminish puffiness and tighten the eye area.
