Yesterday, we showed you the most important thing to remember when confronting puffiness under your eyes: Avoid irritation.
When you finish today's conversation, you'll understand why your eyes become puffy.
Today, we'll examine...
Thanks to the dermatologists and researchers behind Dermage, we understand the science behind puffy eyes.
Unfortunately, it's not just one thing that causes puffiness.
But, as we promised you, we'll break this into easy-to-understand pieces - so you can focus on eliminating under-eye puffiness.
We'll take a quick look at each of the three causes, one by one.
Let's start with the first cause of puffiness under eyes:
As we age, our tiniest blood vessels (called capillaries) become more leaky.
Fluid escapes from all those capillaries, and fills in the spaces between cells in our body.
When this happens under the eye, the fluid builds up - forming a puffy circle.
Now for the second cause of dark eye circles:
Our bodies do have drainage systems to remove the fluid that has leaked under our eyes.
But as we grow older, our drainage systems work less efficiently.
Because of this, excess fluid stays under your eyes for longer and longer, keeping that puffiness under your eyes.
Lastly, let's look at the third cause of dark circles under eyes:
When mature skin loses its firmness, it stretches more easily.
Now, the skin under your eye is quite thin to start with...
And when you develop puffy eyes, the skin under your eye gets stretched over and over again by the fluid that has leaked from your blood vessels.
Your skin becomes like a rubber band that has been stretched too many times. The more your skin is stretched, the more it loses its stretchiness.
The skin under your eyes begins to form a pocket that is just waiting for leaked fluids to fill it every day.
The end result of aging?
1) More fluid flows in under your eyes.
2) Less of that fluid flows out.
3) And as the fluid builds up under your eyes, your skin stretches to make room for more and more fluid.
It's not enough to deal with only one of the causes.
Each of these causes works on its own to make your under-eye area puffy.
