Concept: 15- Why do we get bags under our eyes?

1. Genetics: As mentioned earlier, some people may be more prone to developing bags under their eyes due to genetic factors.
2. Age: As we age, the skin around our eyes becomes thinner and loses elasticity, which can lead to bags.
3. Lack of sleep: Not getting enough sleep can cause blood vessels under the eyes to dilate, leading to dark circles and bags.
4. Allergies: Allergic reactions can cause inflammation and swelling around the eyes, resulting in bags and puffiness.
5. Fluid retention: Consuming a diet high in sodium, drinking alcohol, or not drinking enough water can cause fluid retention, which can lead to bags under the eyes.
6. Sinus congestion: When the sinuses become congested, it can cause fluid to accumulate around the eyes, leading to bags.
7. Dehydration: Not drinking enough water can cause dehydration, which can make the skin around the eyes appear more sunken and make bags more prominent.
8. Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions such as thyroid problems, kidney disease, and autoimmune disorders can lead to bags under the eyes.
9. Sun damage: Excessive exposure to sunlight can damage the skin around the eyes, leading to bags and wrinkles.
10. Smoking: Smoking can cause damage to the skin around the eyes, leading to premature aging, bags, and wrinkles.
