Bags?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, no matter how much sleep you\u2019ve had, you still notice some pesky puffiness under your eyes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not to be confused with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-can-you-get-rid-of-dark-circles-under-your-eyes\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4504\">dark circles<\/a>, under-eye bags can be a real annoyance for those of us with them. While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-can-you-get-rid-of-dark-circles-under-your-eyes\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4504\">dark circles<\/a> are patches of darker skin under the eyes, under-eye bags are raised areas of skin that just don\u2019t go away, even after a good kip.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s totally normal for the skin below our eyes to droop as we age, and under-eye bags can be pretty difficult to get rid of entirely. However, there are some avenues you can explore \u2013 so, today our in-house derms are chatting about the causes of under-eye bags and the range of treatments available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>What causes under-eye bags?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Under-eye bags are a small protrusion of fat beneath the eyes. Due to a combination of gravity, fine lines and loss of collagen, they gradually become more visible with time. But why do they occur there specifically?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe skin around your eyes is the thinnest skin anywhere on the body and also has less oil-producing glands,\u201d explains <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/meet-the-team\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/meet-the-team\">Dr Jason Thomson, Head of Medical at Skin + Me<\/a>. \u201cThis means this area comes with its own specific problems such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-can-you-get-rid-of-dark-circles-under-your-eyes\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4504\">dark circles<\/a>, puffiness and bags, as well as often being the first place that fine lines and wrinkles develop.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your genetics, facial structure and lifestyle may also play a part in your under-eye bags, so there\u2019s not a huge amount you can do to stop them developing. At Skin + Me we\u2019re of the opinion that they\u2019re a part of life \u2013 however, if you\u2019d rather minimise their appearance, then there are a few options you can look into.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f7f3ed\"><strong>New to Skin + Me?\u00a0<\/strong>Get your first month of personalised skincare for \u00a34.99 with promo code DOSE \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/consultation\/sign-up\/create-account\">complete our quick consultation here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>How can I treat my under-eye bags?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While much of the beauty world wants to convince us that expensive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-do-i-really-need-a-separate-eye-cream\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"830\">eye cream<\/a> is the solution, the reality is that under-eye bags are stubborn.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are ways to decrease swelling or make them much less visible, if that\u2019s your goal. Some treatments are cheap and simple, but aren\u2019t as effective, while the most drastic solutions also have the highest price point.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lifestyle changes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensuring you get enough <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/overnight-skincare-how-to-upgrade-your-beauty-sleep\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6260\">sleep <\/a>is a big help when it comes to mitigating under-eye bags. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/myth-buster-is-beauty-sleep-real\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4314\">Sleep <\/a>helps the body recover more quickly, and you\u2019re more likely to wake up with puffy eyes when you haven\u2019t given your body time to rest. Ensuring your head and shoulders are slightly elevated while sleeping on your back can also help.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-can-you-eat-your-way-to-better-skin\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6050\">healthy, balanced diet <\/a>might sound boring, but it\u2019s a solution to a lot of problems, including under-eye bags. Avoid eating too much salt and consider reducing your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/how-bad-is-alcohol-for-my-skin\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1190\">alcohol consumption<\/a> can help improve overall skin health, which in turn decreases the appearance of under-eye bags.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, we\u2019ll never stop shouting about the importance of staying hydrated. \u201cDehydrated skin on the face can appear dull often with more prominent fine lines and surface wrinkles. Other clues include more prominent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-can-you-get-rid-of-dark-circles-under-your-eyes\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"4504\">shadows under the eyes<\/a> as well as sunken appearing eyes,\u201d says Dr Ben Esdaile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/meet-the-team\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/meet-the-team\">Consultant Dermatologist at Skin + Me<\/a>. Keep filling up your water bottle and you might notice your under-eyes looking a little smoother. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it&#8217;s important to remember that once you&#8217;ve developed prominent eye bags, changing elements of your lifestyle won&#8217;t get rid of them entirely \u2013 it might just slightly reduce them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Skincare<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to under-eye bags, there aren\u2019t many skincare products that can help erase them. Some people swear by eye creams containing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/mythbuster-is-caffeine-bad-for-your-skin\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1252\">caffeine<\/a>, which, when used in the morning, might temporarily reduce the swelling under the eyes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/how-to-build-a-skincare-routine\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3629\">skincare routine<\/a> that prioritises building collagen may also help strengthen the skin under your eyes, but beware of extreme claims from products that promise to totally remove bags. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f7f3ed\"><strong>New to Skin + Me?\u00a0<\/strong>Get your first month of personalised skincare for \u00a34.99 with promo code DOSE \u2013\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/consultation\/sign-up\/create-account\">complete our quick consultation here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cosmetic treatments<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re really invested in minimising the appearance of under-eye bags, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/the-dose\/ask-a-dermatologist-combining-cosmetic-and-beauty-treatments-with-tretinoin\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"3265\">professional cosmetic treatments<\/a> do offer more impactful results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dermal fillers are an injectable gel that can help add volume to specific areas of your face. A trained professional will be able to assess your skin and plump up target areas, to minimise the appearance of under-eye bags.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just remember that injectable fillers are not strictly regulated in the UK, so make sure you do plenty of research before booking a treatment and only go to a licensed aesthetician or dermatologist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cosmetcic surgery <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A lower blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure where excess muscle, skin and fat is removed from the under-eye area, effectively removing the bags. It will take a few weeks to fully recover, and you\u2019ll need to be prepared to spend a significant amount of money to have the surgery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A cosmetic surgeon will be able to assess your skin and advise whether this semi-permanent solution is right for you, before explaining the risks and expected outcome.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, bear in mind that your under-eye bags are likely to reoccur with time, especially if you\u2019re genetically predisposed to them, as they are a natural consequence of time and gravity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Final thoughts <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Under-eye bags are nothing to worry about, but if you want to minimise their appearance then there are a few different routes you can take. As always, make sure that you set your expectations and only ever book an invasive procedure with a licensed professional \u2013 safety should be your number one priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f0f6fb\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#edf5f8\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f0f6fb\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>New to Skin + Me? <\/strong>Get your first month of personalised skincare for \u00a34.99 with promo code DOSE \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/consultation\/sign-up\/create-account\">complete our quick consultation here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Looking for a routine refresh? <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/login?back=%2Faccount-summary%2Fmanage-upcoming-orders\">Add the Dream Routine to your Skin + Me subscription<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In need of a restock? <\/strong>Head to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skinandme.com\/shop\">The Skincare Shop<\/a> for one-off purchases of your Routine Essentials.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If under-eye bags are weighing on your mind, allow our dermatologists to answer all your questions.
