Under Eye Bags is the condition in which swelling crops up around the eyes and is linked with lack of sleep or allergies. It happens due to the buildup of fluid in the skin around the eyes and a number of factors are associated with the condition including ageing. With the ageing, there comes a drastic change in under eyes as they might become baggy as tissues around the eyes and muscles supporting the eyelids become weak. It is not a serious medical condition and can be treated with home remedies like cold compression.

Leveling up of hormones level
Allergies causing reddishness or itching
Under eye bag condition being hereditary
