Sunken Eye Bags

Several factors contribute to the development of sunken eye bags. Ageing is a primary cause; as we get older, the fat pads that naturally cushion the eyes can diminish, and the skin around the eyes becomes thinner and less elastic. This loss of volume and support results in the hollowed look. Genetics also play a significant role - some people are predisposed to developing these features due to their inherited skin structure or facial bone structure. Other factors include dehydration, which can exacerbate the appearance of hollows, and lifestyle choices such as poor sleep, excessive alcohol consumption, and smoking. Allergies and sinus issues can also lead to puffiness and a sunken appearance, as they affect fluid retention and skin health.
