Shocked by aging process

I inherited bags under the eyes from both my parents, if I had too much sodium in my diet they swell up and I don’t have eyes anymore. I lost weight in the past few years due to stress from cancer, recently I lost a few more pounds and realized that don’t have much muscle left in my arms and legs. I just turned 75 and I’m truly grateful but I still have some vanity left, I tell everyone that I’m wearing a skin suit that’s a little too big for me, if my sons get cheeky I tell to watch out or else I will swing my arms and slap them with the extra skin hanging down. I recently ordered a product that I’m sure you’re familiar with called Plexiderm, it contains silica that absorbs moisture, I’m going to see what it does for my bags under my eyes, hopefully it will help a little, I have read many reviews and mostly positive but not everyone agrees, fingers crossed 🤞.

@frouke hello there. I have found that it does work, but it is only temporary so you have to keep doing it. The bags are inherited as you say, I got them from my mother. Plastic surgery can take them away, it was not a difficult recovery. I just turned 60 and am contemplating a face/neck lift as I notice aging signs. It is a bit scary but I figure a consult would not hurt.
