How Eye Bags Develop

Eye bags are caused by a swollen blood vessel. Undereye skin becomes puffy when there is a toxin build-up because of poor lymphatic drainage brought about by stress, fatigue, or illness. Allergies, sinus infection, and colds can also result to nasal congestion, which in turn contributes to the bulge through a blood vessel. As we age, the fatty layer between the cheek bone and the eye becomes thinner, while skin tissue begins to sag because of collagen and elastin deterioration that affects the skin's elasticity and firmness.
