Dark circles and bags under eyes often caused by same reasons. These can make a person appear years older and unhealthy looking. The below are the main reasons for bags under eyes (puffy eyes).
Sleep Deprivation
This is probably the the main reason for bags under eyes. Eye bags due to sleep deprivation for a long period of time may take a long time to cure. Interrupted sleep cycles can be the more common causes of dark circles as well.
Tiny Leakages of Blood
Bags under eyes caused by this reason also may take a bit longer to cure. There is a large number of small blood vessels under the eye and around it. Eye bags and Dark circles under the eyes are largely the result of tiny leakages of blood passing through these capillaries close to the surface of the skin. As the skin is so thin in the area under the eyes these tiny leakages can show through as a dark area of discolouration.
Nasal inflammation
Nasal inflammation and sinus congestion can cause those bags under your eyes and dark circles around the eyes. Due to the congestion and inflammation slows down and impairs the blood flow through the tiny vessels found in nose and eyes areas, trapping it and as a consequence blood may pool in this area and show through the skin usually near the eyes causing dark circles.
Proper identification and treatment of sinus issues will go along way in making you feel better and healthier, and for most will aid greatly in the diminishing the dark under eye shadow appearance and eye bags.
Fluid retention
Fluid retention can be the cause of puffy eyes, a common occurrence in the morning as fluid builds up while you sleep. While some degree of puffiness may be normal for a given individual, factors such as age and fatigue may make the swelling more prominent.
Allergies
Allergic reactions can lead to puffy eyes. Perhaps you're allergic to a food, dust, paint, pollen etc. Identify this first and see whether it is causing bags under eyes.
Other Causes of Bag Under Eyes
- Pregnancy
- Hormonal changes during menstruation
The above are temporary sysmptoms. However, proper treatments can reduce eye bags even in above situations.
