Where do the bags under the eyes come from?

There are mornings when your eyes are more tired than usual: whether it's sudden swelling or you feel like you have suitcases under your eyes, the pockets are not aesthetic.

Located on the lower part of the eyelid, they serve to protect the eye and to distribute the tears that form the tear film over the entire surface of the eye. Like the eyelids and the eye contour, this is a very fragile area.

It is estimated that the skin is five times thinner there than on the rest of the body. It's an area that also contains fewer support fibres, despite the fact that it is used nearly 15,000 times a day every time you blink.

Pockets affect both men and women, and can appear for many reasons.

The first is simply the passage of time. With age, skin and fibers slacken. The blood and lymphatic vessels also begin to tire and start to function in slow motion: the circulation between them is less well ensured. However, age is not the only factor to be taken into account.

The appearance of bags under the eyes can also be caused by a lack of sleep or poor hygiene. Fatigue, stress or even the consequences of an unbalanced diet will tend to leave their mark on strategic areas of the face, and the area around the eyes is one of them.

The different types of bags under the eyes

Whether it is fatigue, stress or simply the repercussions of the signs of aging, the appearance of bags under the eyes is a sign of poor blood and lymphatic circulation. Among the types of bags under the eyes, those that appear by swelling (called water retention under the eyes) and those due to an accumulation of fat are particularly noticeable.

In the case of pockets due to water retention, it is often poor hygiene that is pointed at. A diet that is too rich in salt, the consumption of tobacco, alcohol or simply the accumulation of too short nights are elements that are harmful to venous microcirculation. All these elements lead to fluid retention in the body, which then develops into swelling under the eyes.

Fatty bags, on the other hand, are simply the natural slackening of the skin and muscles around the eyes, accentuated by the passage of time. The eyeball is made up of muscles to lift and close the eyelid. Between the skin and muscles there is fat, which quantity can vary from person to person.

With sagging skin, the skin can slide under the lower eyelid and create swelling. Aside from cellular aging, this type of pouch may also occur in the case of heredity.
