What causes under-eye bags?

The different types of under-eye bags

There are different types of under-eye bags, each with specific causes and characteristics:

💧 Fluid retention bags

Fluid retention bags are generally temporary and can be caused by factors such as excessive salt consumption, dehydration, allergies, fatigue, or lack of sleep.

They are characterized by puffiness under the eyes. These bags are very often temporary and tend to disappear once the fluid retention is addressed.

🧈 Fat bags

Fat bags form when the fat pads located under the eyes begin to loosen and shift forward.

This can be due to aging, genetics, or a loss of skin elasticity. Bags caused by fat accumulation are more permanent than those caused by fluid retention.

👨‍🦳 Under-eye bags caused by skin sagging

Skin sagging due to aging can lead to under-eye bags. With age, the skin loses its elasticity, which can lead to drooping and the formation of bags.

🩸 Vascular bags or dark circles

Finally, dark circles are indeed a form of bag.

Vascular bags are mainly due to dilation of blood vessels under the eyes. This is also the other name for dark circles. This can be caused by factors such as genetics, hormonal fluctuations, stress, or fatigue.

Focus on the causes of bag formation

But then, why do we end up with these unsightly little pouches under our peepers? It's not just because of fatigue: the reasons are multiple, and perhaps you will find the cause of your under-eye luggage here:

  • 🥤 Dehydration: Wait, didn't we just say that... under-eye bags were an accumulation of water? Well yes, if you tend to drink too little, the body will compensate by accumulating as much water as possible. To hell with paradoxes, if you are experiencing fluid retention, hydrate yourself!

  • 👵 Aging: Ah, time passing and leaving its mark! With age, the skin loses its elasticity and the tissues around the eyes can weaken. The skin under the eyes becomes thinner and the lymphatic glands take longer to drain fluids, which increases the risk of bag formation.

  • 😴 Fatigue: Sleepless nights, marathon days at work, or simply a lack of regular sleep can contribute to the appearance of bags. Edema forms as a result of dehydration and the dilation of blood vessels caused by lack of sleep.
