Remedies for bags and dark circles

Present under the eyes, the so-called “bags” are one of the most widespread imperfections among the population. Together with dark circles, bags are able to modify the facial expression, making it tired and compassionate.

The causes that generate this blemish are multiple and all lead to local water retention. Alcohol or salt abuse, depression, crying, insomnia or excessive sleep, thyroid dysfunction, the use of certain medications or the premenstrual period can generate the bags.

For dark circles, the matter is slightly different. Aging and a poor lifestyle compromise the balance of the epidermis. The skin tends to be dehydrated, thinned and lacking in firmness due to a degradation of collagen and a reduced sebaceous secretion. These effects appear especially evident in the eye contour, one of the thinnest, and therefore most fragile, parts of the skin. In the peri-ocular area, collagen fibers are present in lesser quantity than in other parts, and this area is subjected to various stresses that can cause circulatory alterations, congestions or hyperemia. The formation of dark circles is attributed to a process of hemodynamic congestion or melanization caused by an alteration of the peripheral microcirculation to which is often added a discourse of water retention with the subsequent deposit of toxins and pigments. The dark circles, in fact, appear as dark colored halos, often accompanied by a swelling, which give the face a tired, sick and sad look. Aging, stress, bad eating habits or lack of sleep can originate or accentuate the problem making it a very visible and really annoying blemish.
