To not understand OVERNIGHT ageing? Wtf?

So, last night I went to bed perfectly OK. Today I wake up with UPPER EYELID BAGS?

Wtf are these!? How did it happen?

I went to Boots and spent a small mortgage on eye cream - I AM NOT THAT PERSON!

(I'm almost 40), but six months ago I was ID'd Tesco when buying wine (smug old young me).

How could this happen overnight? Age is a bitch. Shakespeare was right, "youth is wasted on the young"!.

Seriously, what can I actually do? Creams?

Someone suggest something that works?!!

It was George Bernard Shaw who said youth is wasted on the young. Take a picture of yourself today, look at it in ten years time. You'll wonder what the hell you were worried about.

I’ve done this too. Woke up for Work eyes have huge puffy bags and spent a small fortune on eye cream during lunch time.

Some mornings with only four hours sleep I can look fine, some mornings after longer asleep can look dreadful. It can look like someone’s actually pulled the skin around my eyes down so far they look shockingly dreadful.

There’s no rhyme nor reason for a good or bad day so I actually put it down to something more serious such us poor liver or kidney function

I would try cold tea bags and cucumber before expensive creams though
