Eye bags, or puffiness, can be a real problem for both men and women of all ages. Eye bags can be caused by a number of different factors, the most obvious being lack of sleep. However, eye bags can also be due to allergies (food or environmental) or from illness, such as thyroid or kidney disease.
Eye bags become more problematic for the majority of people as they age, one of the reasons being the lack of elasticity around the eyes. Because the skin in this area is thinner anyway, fat cells under the surface are more noticeable, giving the appearance of puffiness. Fortunately, there are now quite a few different options available to people concerned about eye bags. These range from gentle, home-based remedies to the more drastic step of cosmetic surgery.
If eye bags are not too severe and only appear some of the time, a simple solution of applying something cooling to the eye may work. Cucumber slices, cold tea bags and even cold spoons are popular choices. If the eye bags are more permanent, and illness or disease have been ruled out by a G.P., a tightening cream may be a good choice. Some eye creams available on the market claim to not only tighten the skin around the eyes, but also ‘decongest’ the area of excess fluid which in turn reduces any swelling. The consumer should ensure however that the cream is specifically to treat eye bags or puffiness, as a wrinkle cream may add to the problem by plumping up the skin in this area.
