Bags under the eyes: what is hidden behind the imperfection
First of all, it is important to underline that the processes that cause the formation of bags under the eyes are very similar to those that favor the production of water retention and cellulite. The area of interest is very delicate and can suffer damage to the capillaries, which therefore lose elasticity and release serum and water, responsible for the formation of edema around the eye. For this reason, in order to prevent their formation, it is important first of all drink at least 2l of water a day (just like with water retention). Secondly, there are a number of other causes.
In addition to the lack of sleep at night, we cite for example stress, the smokeallergies, excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages, an incorrect diet (low in fiber, vitamins and mineral salts), but also age, dermatological disorders and excessive exposure to UV rays. Some of these are beyond our control, while others can be modulated and resized in favor of our health. Smoking and alcohol, for example, affect the entire body, as does the decision to follow an unbalanced diet lacking in the necessary macronutrients. In any case, where the blemish persists, it is recommended contact your primary care physician for further investigations.
