Thin, wrinkly skin under eyes?

I've noticed that lately the skin under my eyes are very thin and stretchy. I pulled on the skin during class one day and everyone noticed and thought it was really weird. Also, when I smile, sometimes the skin under my eye(only my right eye) wrinkles and it keeps me from smiling normally because it just blocks my cheek, kind of. I'm not sure how to explain the wrinkling part, but it's just really thin and streches out farther than what I think is normal. Is it just like bags under my eyes? I want to know because I'm seeing a doctor tomorrow about something else, and I want to know if I should mention anything about my eyes.

    As we age,the collagen level in our body decreases , which is responsible for providing elasticity in our skin, specially under our eyes. this part is most delicate part on our face. It would be better if you choose a good anti aging cream like Lifecell at the right time before its too late for you to manage these crows feet and puffy eyes.

    The fact that your dad has "bad" ones probably indicates an element of heredity. That you can't change. But there could be contributing factors. These include: (a) Not getting enough sleep (or not sleeping regular hours) (b) An allergic reaction. This can be chronic if you are being exposed to the allergen on a daily basis. (c) poor diet. If you are having a deficiency in particular nutrients such as vitamins B-9 (folic acid) and B-12, then that may be a contributing factor. Best recommendations: eat lots of fruits and vegetables (fresh and uncooked is best) - especially leafy greens and fruits with colorful skins; get enough sleep; keep hydrated with water; exercise regularly, and avoid things like cigarettes and processed foods.

    Your skin under your eyes is dry! Apply some eye cream. I think i understand what you meant, i used to have this problem too until i started sleep early at about 10pm everyday and wake up only after 8am in the morning and the wrinkle disappear
