What are under eye bags?

They are usually associated with water retention and fat accumulation under the eyelid. Bags tend to increase with age and sagging skin. When you are tired or live unhealthily (junk food, stress, lack of exercise, excess alcohol consumption…) they may appear larger.

A new gesture daily!
