Under Eye Bags

Under eye bags, puffiness and dark circles are common problems. They are sometimes caused by lack of sleep or allergic reactions, but often they are simply a side effect of the aging process.
If you look at a child in the early morning, you will often see that the skin around their eyes looks “puffy” or slightly swollen. But, in a very short time, the swelling goes away and the skin looks normal.
Young skin is very “elastic”, it swells up and snaps back, with no damage done. But, as time goes by, we lose that elasticity. After we reach the age of thirty, the production of collagen and elastin fibers starts to slow down. It is those fibers that give the skin its firmness and elasticity.
One of the first things that we notice is under eye bags, puffiness or a swollen look that doesn’t go away during the day, combined with a lack of new collagen and elastin fibers, we have decreased circulation.
So, more fluid stays under the eyes. Sometimes waste products build up in the fluids and we end up with dark circles or a kind of bruised look. The solution to bags under the eyes, puffiness and dark circles is to improve circulation, increase collagen and elastin production and reduce inflammation.
Collagen and elastin fibers are made up of amino acid protein chains. Scientists have learned how to extract those amino acid chains from plants, fruits, vegetables and other natural sources. They have also identified the ones that most closely resemble the skin’s and learned how to properly manufacture them, so that they can be used to produce new fibers and cells.
It sounds amazing, but some dermatologists have realized for years that this was possible. It was just a matter of finding the right combination of ingredients. Some new products on the market have found that combination. The appearance of under eye bags, puffiness and dark circles can now be reduced considerably.
