Baggy under-eyes or bags appearing under eyes are a very common sign of ageing. With age, the tissues surrounding the eyes along with some muscles that support eyelids, start to weaken and sag. The fat that usually supports the eyes, can now shift due to loss of skin, into the lower eyelids, causing the lids to appear puffy. Fluid retention might also happen in the space below your eyes, adding to the puffiness and swelling.

Apart from age, there are some other factors that might contribute to causing bags under the eyes.

• Smoking
• Certain allergies
• Lack of proper sleep
• Hereditary

Most of the time these bags are harmless and not painful however in the extreme cases that it does get painful, itchy, or even reddens, it might be indicative of a deeper, underlying issue.
