Bags under the eyes are one of the main signs of aging. Why are they produced? According to Dr. Gema Pérez Sevilla, various factors influence it.

"Over the years, the tissues around the eyes weaken, the skin loses firmness and becomes looser. This causes the fat that is usually around the eye to shift forward and located on the lower eyelid. On the other hand, bags can appear or increase when fluid retention occurs, which is also more common with age. There are also genetic factors that can be the cause of bags or even habits unhealthy such as alcohol, tobacco or sleeping few hours".
