I have grooves under my eyes. Are they eye bags, tear troughs or festoons? What is the best treatment? (Photo)

I have grooves sitting fairly low under my eyes that don't go away. I did some background research and I honestly can't tell if they are under-eye bags, tear troughs, or festoons. I have heard it could be sinus related as well. I know that treatment varies depending on the condition. I am 24 years old and made the poor choice of tanning excessively when I was a teen, but have always taken great care of my skin and avoid sun exposure as much as I can now. I feel like it's too early for this!
