Brilio.net - Not only dark circles or panda eyes , eye bags are also the most common problem experienced by almost everyone. Problems in the eye area generally occur as a person ages. Even though they don't cause pain, eye bags can disrupt your appearance because they make your face look tired and older than it should be.
Eye bags occur due to a buildup of fluid caused by weakening of the tissue around the eyes, including the muscles that support the eyelids. One of the most common causes of eye bags is the effects of lack of sleep. The reason is, due to lack of sleep, the blood vessels under the thin skin of the eyes will widen and create a dark color.
These dilated blood vessels will cause fluid to build up around the eyes, resulting in eye bags forming. But actually, the biggest factor causing eye bags is aging. This is because, as we age, the muscles and tissue structures around the eyes weaken.
This also happens because the collagen and elastin tissue in the skin tissue begins to decline. Because of this, the skin will lose its ability to maintain skin firmness and suppleness.
The skin will even start to sag and fluid will start to collect under the eyes. Apart from that, the fat around the eyes will move to the area under the eyes so that they look swollen or form quite thick eye bags.
Even so, in fact eye bags can also be caused by other factors such as the effects of stress, crying too long, and an unhealthy lifestyle.
There are various ways that can be done to overcome this condition. Such as undergoing treatment at a beauty clinic, using skincare products, and using natural ingredients.
Most people will use eye cream to treat this condition. Even though there is a more effective and pocket-friendly method, you know.
