Misconceptions of Eye Bags

Bags under the eyes can often be misconceived as solely resulting from lack of sleep and stress. While those factors can contribute, the underlying causes can include genetics, diet, and environmental influences. For example, excessive salt consumption can lead to puffiness due to fluid retention, while long-term exposure to allergens may exacerbate dark circles. Understanding these factors is essential for adopting effective prevention strategies and seeking appropriate medical advice.
