Bags under the eyes: what are they?
Under-eye bags are swellings or lumps located under the lower eyelids. The appearance of bags can be due to fat accumulation, water retention, or age-related structural changes. They are often perceived as a sign of fatigue or skin aging, but can also be influenced by genetic and lifestyle factors.
Unlike bags, dark circles appear as a dark discoloration under the eyes and do not cause swelling. They are usually due to pigmentation, thinning of the skin, or poor blood circulation in this delicate area of the face. This difference between bags and dark circles is important because it directly influences the choice of appropriate treatments and skincare products.
What causes bags under the eyes?
Over time, skin naturally loses its elasticity and ability to retain moisture, leading to sagging tissue around the eyes and the formation of puffiness. This is exacerbated by a decrease in the production of collagen, a key component of skin firmness.
Similarly, some individuals are genetically predisposed to developing bags under the eyes. This hereditary characteristic can appear at a young age and intensify over time.
Factors such as lack of sleep, a diet high in salt, stress, and excessive alcohol and tobacco consumption can also exacerbate the formation of under-eye bags. These lifestyle habits contribute to water retention and the deterioration of skin quality.
Finally, allergies, sinus problems, and hormonal fluctuations can also play a role. These various factors often cause inflammation or water retention, worsening the appearance of under-eye bags.
How to remove bags under the eyes naturally?
Removing under-eye puffiness is possible with a combination of the right care and simple daily routines. From the importance of gentle makeup removal to effective home remedies and specific facial exercises, discover how to revitalize and refresh your eyes naturally.

What cosmetic treatments should I use to get rid of dark circles and puffiness?
To effectively reduce dark circles and puffiness under the eyes, certain active ingredients in cosmetics prove particularly beneficial. Caffeine is widely recognized for its decongestant properties, helping to reduce puffiness by stimulating blood circulation around the eyes. Hyaluronic acid plays a key role in hydrating and maintaining skin elasticity, contributing to a smoother, more youthful appearance. Peptides, as protein building blocks, help strengthen the skin and improve its elasticity and firmness.
