Aging definitely takes a toll on the skin, especially when it comes to the under-eye area. As we age, the skin under our eyes becomes increasingly more sensitive, causing it to thin and make the underlying blood vessels more prominent–which is why dark circles are a thing. And, don’t even get us started on under-eye bags!
“As we get older, everyone loses fat under the surface of the skin,” Hayley Goldbach, a resident physician in dermatology at UCLA, explains to BBC.com on the origin of under-eye circles and puffiness. “Another thing that can lead to bags under your eyes is edema, or swelling.”
