In the May issue of InStyle magazine, under-eye coverage “solutions” were broken down by different age groups. At first, this approach sounds helpful, offering targeted advice for women at various stages of life. However, there’s a major problem with categorizing under-eye issues based solely on age. Under-eye bags, hollowness, and fine lines are not age-specific concerns—they can happen at any time. You could be 21 and have the same under-eye problems as someone who is 51 years old. Therefore, treating these issues based only on your age misses the real cause of the problem.
Under-eye Problems
Under-eye problems are person-specific and vary widely between individuals. As we discussed in our previous blog posts, these issues often stem from genetics, lifestyle choices, and skin structure.
Importantly, they do not discriminate based on age or even skin type. Additionally, factors like sun exposure, poor sleep habits, dehydration, and natural bone structure can worsen under-eye appearance.
Because of these different causes, a one-size-fits-all, age-based solution is not effective for everyone.
Instead, you need a personalized evaluation that addresses your specific concerns and goals.
