The skin around the eyes is much thinner than on the rest of the face, which makes it highly sensitive and often the first area to show the effects of ageing, stress or fatigue. Signs of ageing, excessive stress or tiredness often appear as dark circles and under-eye bags.
Puffiness in the under-eye area is caused by an accumulation of water and fat. Lifestyle aspects such as excessive use of alcohol, smoking and the lack of sleep can amplify water retention and increase puffiness under the eyes.
Small changes to your habits like increasing the amount of sleep you get each night, and targeted under-eye skincare can reduce dark circles under your eyes and help you feel fresher.
