As the saying commonly goes, the eyes are the windows to one’s soul. So understandably, you would want to keep your precious peepers in tip-top shape. However, due to certain factors or a combination of certain factors, sagging eyelids are a common condition. This condition plagues not just older women but younger women as well. Sagging eyelids can make you look older than your actual age and make you feel insecure. Thankfully, saggy eyelids are mostly treatable at home. However, if you are predisposed to conditions like diabetes or recently have had an eye injury or surgery, it’s best to consult a doctor about your condition. But before we discuss the cures to fix sagging eyelids, let’s look at the leading causes.
Causes Of Sagging Eyelids
1. Smoking
Smoking decreases the level of oxygen that reaches your skin, causing it to age faster and look older. On top of that, it can lead to cardiovascular conditions and increase your chances of heart disease, cancer, and stroke (1) (2).
2. Aging
The muscles in your face tend to lose elasticity as you age, and your eyelids start to droop lower. As it is, the skin on your eyelids is fragile and prone to aging faster.
