In this article, we will also share with you some under-eye bags treatment that you can try at home.

Why Do I Have Eye Bags?

There are many reasons why the skin around your eyes puff up. Some of the simple and minor causes include sleep deprivation, dehydration, a salty diet, and aging. Not having enough sleep can cause the skin around the eyes to puff up and darken. Meanwhile, dehydration can cause the skin around the eyes to droop and sag. Diets high in salt cause further swelling beneath the eye as it retains more water. 

Lastly, aging causes the facial fat pads below the eyes to shrink and sink, making them sag.

There are also other causes for under-eye bags such as skin irritation or allergic reactions caused by cosmetics or food. Included are health-related concerns that result in the formation of under-eye bags such as thyroid problems. For these causes, it is best to consult with a doctor to find the appropriate under-eye bags treatment and to treat the underlying health issues.
