How to Make Under-Eye Bags and Fine Lines Look Less Visible

Fine Lines Look Less Visible

May 16, 2023 | Categories: ,

Sometimes, even if you try to convince yourself that you’re full of energy right after crawling out of bed, the evidence of a night spent tossing and turning is written all over your face. Whether the under-eye bags and harsher lines you may notice around the eyes result from poor sleep, environmental factors, or normal visible aging, they’re not without remedies.

By getting down to the root of what causes the look of dark circles and fine lines under the eyes, you can send visible under-eye bags packing.

What Causes the Look of Under-Eye Tiredness?

The area beneath the eye — where you typically notice eye bags — is part of the hollow of the eye socket. It’s covered with nerves, muscles, fat, and skin that support the eye. For this reason, pinning down the cause of your under-eye bags means considering several factors that impact the eye anatomy differently.

  • Genetics. If looking through family photos reveals generations of relatives with visible bags under their eyes or dark circles, you may have inherited a family trait.
  • Water retention. If your body retains water due to a high-sodium diet or alcohol, the skin under the eyes might appear puffy.
  • Poor sleep. The skin may appear pale or dull after a stormy night’s sleep or pulling an all-nighter, which can cause dark circles.
  • Age. As you age, skin loses its essential support and can visibly sag. The skin also becomes thinner, contributing to more visible dark circles. Visible changes in your face as you age can also exaggerate the appearance of eye puffiness and dark circles.
