Let’s face it, under eye wrinkles are probably the first thing that we see when we start to worry about our age. They appear out of nowhere and steal your youth and smooth skin. And, waking up with puffy eyes can be really frustrating when you have a big day ahead. Puffy eyes are also one of the most common beauty problems.

Puffiness, dark under-eye circles, and fine lines or wrinkles are some of the common signs of aging seen on the skin surrounding our eyes. They are usually not a problem that requires medical attention but makes you look tired and ill. There are also many causes of these dark circles, puffy eyes, wrinkles and fine lines at a younger age.

What Causes Dark Circles or Puffy Eyes?

• Heredity Problem: If this problem runs in your family from your grandparents to your parents and then you, then you may have inherited it from them.
• Aging: At some point of age, our skin loses its elasticity and dark circles may appear.
• Lack of sleep: Sleeping for only a few hours can also lead to this problem.
• Fluid Retention: This causes puffiness under our eyes.
• Improper and unhealthy diet
• Working for very long hours in front of a computer or laptops.
