PUFFY UNDER EYES?
What causes puffy eyes?
Your eye lids are made of very thin skin, and the tissue beneath is loose and soft. It does not contain much oil but has many blood vessels and lymph vessels – and these all retain fluid. A lot of liquid moves around here in a very small space. When you’re fresh and well rested these aren’t noticeable. But when you’ve been out, the body not only suffers from lack of sleep but also lack of liquid, oxygen and minerals. As a result, lymphatic fluid is retained in the tissue around your eyes, making them appear puffy. Additionally, a lack of permeability in the vessel walls, genetic predisposition and ageing skin can also contribute to regular puffy under eyes and tear sacs.
