The life of people living in the 21st century is indeed stressful and can put pressure on our bodies and eyes.
The eyes can suffer due to varied hours of sleep, focus on lots of light (from computers, television, sunlight, etc.
) The upper and the lower eyelids are made up of skin, muscles and fats.
As the person' age increase, the muscles become weak, resulting in the loosening of skin.
Skin also changes because of collagen; a type of protein which forms with structure of the cell.
Bags under the eyes can also be caused due to allergies, hormonal issues, etc.
All these issues cause wrinkling and formation of bags under the skin.
Several remedies have been suggested by experts over the years.
Laboratory-based studies suggest that some have proved to be effective.
Home remedies include not only using cucumber slices to be kept under the eye but also, the quality of the special vegetable like potatoes.
Washing and sprinkling water over the eyes and then putting 1/4th cut slices of potato and putting it over the eyes for 10-15 minutes gives the best result in the fastest way.
Other measures suggested are the use of green tea bags.
Experts have found that an anti-inflammatory called EGCG is present in green tea which reduces the fluid build-up that causes under-eye circles, which is also known as eye bags, dark circles, or Wrinkles.
Brew two or three bags of green tea and after cooling them, use them to compress the eyes for 10 minutes.
Some of the habits which should be brought into practice include: 1) Sleeping with the head elevated.
2) Avoiding drinking a lot of fluids before going to sleep.
3) Avoiding the use of oil-based makeup which is stear based.
(The oil causes the skin under the eyes to swell), etc.
