If you're like millions of other people suffering from bags under your eyes and dark circles that make you look like a raccoon, you've probably wondered what's causing them, and why those half-dozen eye creams in your dresser haven't helped.
First of all, it's important to know that it may not just be lack of sleep or stress causing them: it may be a breakdown of how your skin's components are interacting.
You're Losing It!
You see, sagging, baggy skin is often caused by a breakdown in how collagen and elastin react in your skin. Collagen and elastin are two important proteins that your skin needs to remain smooth and firm, and to 'snap back' after you frown or bend an elbow or make a funny face.
As we age, collagen and elastin production slows in our skin, weakening the ligaments under the eyes and making bags start to appear.
You Are Responsible
There are several ways to address depleting collagen and elastin stores. First of all, check your diet: if you aren't getting enough protein and nutrients in your diet, all the creams, gels, serums, and lotions in the world won't help you.
While the old folk advice to place cucumbers or tea bags on your eyes may soothe bags temporarily, what you eat will actually have more of an effect over the long term.
- Look for foods rich in Vitamins A, B and C to contribute to a better complexion.
- Some foods to consider are: carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach and liver.
- Look for good sources of Zinc, such as crab, oysters and beef. Look for high-quality ways to get selenium into your diet as well, using fish, chicken and nuts.
- And watch the intake of salty snacks. These can cause water retention which increases the fluids under your eyes.

Of course, a good face and eye serum also helps! When shopping for skin care products , there are certain ingredients that can make a difference in the appearance of the skin around your eyes, and lots of ingredients that make no difference at all!
