The most common cause of sagging is the redistribution of the body’s fatty tissues in this area, resulting in bags under the eyes that cannot be reduced or eliminated with normal, everyday skin care products.
Over the years, with age, the tissues in the eye area thin and shrink. The first wrinkles that usually appear are those on the sides of the eyes, and the wrinkles on the lower eyelid. The skin loses its elasticity and firmness and the thickness of the epidermis decreases.
The skin around the eyes is much thinner than in other areas, so the blood vessels in this area of the face are much more visible.
Doctors refer to the area between the nose, cheeks and eyes as the lacrimal. It’s like a tear belt. If the area under your lower eyelids is blue, pink or purple, this is caused by blood vessels. If the skin on your forehead is browner, it means it contains more melanin. However, the main cause of puffy and dark eyelids is the loss of subcutaneous fat with aging.
