How Postpartum Moms Are Reversing Their Haggard Eye Bags And Dark Circles In 21 Days With Dermal Technology
(No injections, nothing absorbed, and safe to start while you're still nursing)
You're holding your baby in front of the mirror and get freaked out by how exhausted you look.
There's a smile on your face but you look dead behind the eyes.
You have tried to fix it. Four concealers in the bathroom drawer that do not cover it.
The expensive eye cream everybody swore by on the reddit forum for new moms.
Cold spoons held under your eyes during a night feed because there was nothing else left to try.
Every mom you ask tells you the same thing. Give it time, your skin will come back... But you're fed up of waiting.
The truth is what changed under your eyes runs much deeper than broken sleep.
It quietly started the day you delivered, and it sits at a deep skin layer level that nothing in your drawer was ever built to reach.
Here's 5 things that nobody has explained to you about postpartum eye bags, and why a gentle, non-invasive device may be your best option for reversing undereye aging.
1. Your Estrogen Fell Off A Cliff The Day You Delivered
Through pregnancy, your estrogen ran higher than it ever has or ever will again. Within days of delivery it falls below where it sat before you conceived.
Estrogen is what tells your fibroblasts to produce collagen. When it goes, production stops, and the skin under your eyes is the thinnest on your body, so it shows there before anywhere else.
2. Breastfeeding Holds Your Estrogen Down Until The Day You Stop
Prolactin, the hormone that makes your milk, suppresses estrogen the entire time you are nursing. Lactation is a sustained low estrogen state, and your body stays in it for as long as you feed.
So if you are waiting to wean before you deal with this, you are looking at another eight, twelve, eighteen months of the exact conditions that caused it.
3. Broken Sleep From Being A Mom Never Lets The Fluid Drain
Your lymphatic system clears fluid from the under-eye area during long, unbroken stretches of sleep. Two hours at a time never completes the cycle. The fluid that should have cleared by morning is still sitting there when you get up.
Your hormones are compounding it. Postpartum, your body holds onto water far longer than most women are told, and the under-eye area is where it settles.
