EYEBAGS AND EFFECTIVE HOME REMEDIES
What is eyebag
Bags under eyes are mild swelling or puffiness under the eyes which are common as you age. With age, the tissues around your eyes, including some of the muscles supporting your eyelids, weakens. Normal fat that helps support the eyes can then move into the lower eyelids, causing the lids to appear puffy. Fluid also may accumulate in the space below your eyes, adding to the swelling.
Causes
As you age, the tissue structures and muscles supporting your eyelids weaken. The skin may start to sag, and fat that is normally confined to the area around the eye (orbit) can move into the area below your eyes. Also, the space below your eyes can accumulate fluid, making the under-eye area appear puffy or swollen. Several factors cause or worsen this effect, including:
• Excessive salt consumption
• Alcohol
