Eye Bags and Puffiness
High-sodium foods and a diet rich in salt can promote water retention throughout the body, including the under-eye area,. but Chronic allergies may also show up on the sensitive skin under your eyes they dilate blood vessels and can cause the blood vessels to leak, which creates puffiness and dark purple-bluetone under your eyes.
