The most common cause of eye bags is a loss of fatty tissue in the upper cheeks, right below the eye bags. This fatty tissue, which resides just below the skin, is present throughout the face. As you age, it breaks down, or âdeflates,â in your cheeks at a much faster rate than it does just below your eyes.
A rough guide is that one serving of soy equals 1 cup of soymilk, or 1/2 cup of tofu, tempeh, soybeans, or soy meats. This is the rough equivalent of about 8 to 10 grams of soy protein and 25 mg of isoflavones. The more processed soy meats tend to have more protein (but fewer isoflavones per gram of protein).
Regarding âtopicalâ use of soy in skin care products, soy protein is what contains the isoflavonesâsoybean oil has none and soy lecithin has tiny to zero levels. In other words, itâs the form of soy that matters. Many soy ingredients in skin products have no isoflavone content, therefore no hormone implications.
