Just because eye bags are inevitable for most of us, it doesn’t make them any less shocking when they appear under our eyes. Luckily, ZIIP Beauty is on hand to help reduce their appearance.
The term ‘eye bags’ refers to a certain kind of puffiness beneath the eye, occurring when the muscles and tissue supporting your eyelids start to weaken.
This often causes sagging or loose skin, drooping towards the bottom of the eye socket.
Oftentimes, eye bags can cause the appearance of dark circles around the eyes, typically from the shadowing caused by the puffiness of the eye or hollowing under the eye socket.
Eye bags have a variety of causes, depending on your age, routine, diet, lifestyle, and more.
Here’s a breakdown of possible causes, so that you can identify which is the most relevant to you.
As we get older, the skin beneath our eyes becomes thinner and looser. This is the skin that often sits, becoming the ‘eye bag’ as termed. The thinness of the skin also means blood vessels beneath the skin can appear more visible, contributing to dark circles around the eyes.
Not getting your eight hours of sleep can cause the skin beneath your eyes to appear paler, making blood vessels seem more prominent.
If this is something you share with many members of your family, the cause could be something as simple as your genetics.
We might not be able to offer you a magical cure to get rid of eye bags, but we can suggest a remedy to help reduce their appearance.
ZIIP HALO uses microcurrent treatments with both immediate and long-lasting visible results.
A palm-sized, hand-held device, ZIIP HALO facilitates treatments at home, supporting the appearance of an even skin tone and a firmer-looking eye area, reducing the appearance of eye bags.
Preventative methods may not work for everyone, but there are some things we can do to help lessen their appearance.
Try placing something cold under the eyes in the morning, whilst you get ready. Whether using a cool face cloth or small slices of cucumber, cool temperatures can help to reduce the appearance of puffiness below your eyes.
In fact, treating the whole face with ice in the morning as part of your daily routine can be helpful for soothing the skin.
A regular and solid sleep routine, designed to ensure you get 8 hours of sleep a night, is one of the best measures you can take for under eye bags. Build a routine around things that suit you, whether that’s having a hot bath or reading a book. Sleeping with your head slightly raised can be helpful too.
Puffiness around the eyes can be caused by fluid retention in the body. By reducing the levels of salt within your diet, you can reduce your fluid retention, therefore, minimising the risk of eye bags developing.
Follow these simple steps to help reduce the appearance of eye bags at home.
