" The skin around the eyes is lacking in oil glands, collagen and elastin fibres."
Due to its thin structure, the skin around the eyes is particularly prone to signs of ageing and damage including eye bags and puffy eyes.
What are Eye Bags?
Eye bags are mild swelling, puffiness under the eyes. They are commonly associated with ageing, however, they can also appear in young people and children.
What causes Eye Bags?
The skin around the eyes is lacking in oil glands, collagen and elastin fibres; therefore it often shows the first signs of ageing.
With age, the skin tissues and muscles around the eyes weaken. As a result, the supporting fats moved from the upper eye lids to the lower eye lids, causing the appearance of eye bags and puffy eyes. They make the eyes look tired and smaller.
Some other factors that may cause Puffy Eyes (Eye Bags)
Apart from ageing and heredity, there are some other factors that can trigger puffiness around the eyes such as:
- High salt intake which causes fluid retention
- Allergic reactions that cause inflammation and swelling
- Fatigue and lack of sleep
- Stress
- Crying
Unlike ageing and heredity, the other factors tend to cause puffy eyes temporarily. Once the underlying condition is gone, the puffiness will subside.
How to get rid of Eye Bags and Puffy Eyes
There are few things that you can do to reduce the appearance of eye bags and puffy eyes:
1. Eat a balanced diet. It is very important to make sure that your body gets all the necessary nutrients. Cut down on salty foods as salt can cause water retention and puffy eyes. Drink enough water frequently throughout the day. Men need about 2.5 litres while women need about 2 litres of water a day. Dehydration can cause puffiness around the eyes too.
2. Protect the skin around the eyes from premature ageing and damage. Apply AGEless Serum which has been formulated with 24-karat gold, niacinamide, n-acetyl glucosamine and resveratrol to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation spots, dark circles and puffiness around the eyes.
AGEless Serum is suitable for use all over the face and neck including the fragile skin around the eyes, therefore you don't need to use another serum.
