No person is immune to the appearance of wrinkles under the eyes. Age-related changes, environmental factors, junk food - all of these lead to premature skin aging. Many girls and women think about how to remove the hated wrinkles and make the skin smooth. Experienced beauticians recommend an integrated approach, observing preventive measures and regularly making nourishing masks to rejuvenate the skin around the eyes. Let's look at the main aspects in order to find effective ways to fight wrinkles.
First appearance of wrinkles under the eyes
- The first signs of large wrinkles appear at the age of 28-30, but it all depends on the individual structure of the dermis and other external factors. However, experienced beauticians have come to the conclusion that the production of collagen and elastin fibers slows down precisely at this age.
- The top layer of skin is exhausted and thinning because the natural regeneration of the cells is not taking place at the correct level. The epidermis loses its ability to retain fluid, which is necessary for tone and elasticity. The skin becomes dehydrated, wrinkles appear.
- It's no secret that the skin around the eyes is the thinnest and most delicate, which requires a delicate approach. Among other things, there are only a few sebum glands in this area, which are responsible for the timely supply of fluids and elasticity. As a result, even young girls by the age of 20 will experience their first facial wrinkles.
- When the first facial wrinkles are firmly fixed, they form what are known as "crow's feet" at the corners of the eyes. The characteristic mesh remains on the face due to constant muscle contraction (smile, squint, etc. ). The skin loses its elasticity, wrinkles and cracks remain and lose the ability to smooth out.
Causes of the appearance of wrinkles under the eyes
- When we talk about statistical wrinkles, they arise due to internal changes. These include diseases of the heart and thyroid, impaired liver and kidney function, and slow metabolism. Identifying the cause is quite difficult, as a result of which the fight against wrinkles with the help of folk remedies can take years.
- It is known that estrogen is present in every person's body, both men and women. The only difference is the amount; women have less estrogen. When it is no longer produced at all, sharp jumps in the hormonal background begin. The skin fades and wrinkles appear with age (due to the aging of the epidermis).
- Exposure to environmental factors is considered the leading cause of wrinkles under the eyes. Absolutely everything is used - sun, rain, frost, wind. Cosmetic defects appear on the face that form deep wrinkles over time.
- For natural regeneration, the skin cells must be enriched with oxygen. Otherwise, the lack of fresh air will lead to a slowdown in natural functions, the skin will become flabby, gray. Collagen is no longer produced in large quantities, the top layer of the dermis becomes weak. The same applies to active physical activity. Exercise increases tissue elasticity.
- If a person does not observe food hygiene, does not consume fresh vegetables and fruits, drinks little water, then toxins will accumulate in the subcutaneous tissue. Toxins and toxins clog blood vessels and prevent the blood from circulating fully. The cells are not receiving enough oxygen and are exhausted. Cosmetic defects appear on the entire surface of the face and body, which become deeper over time.
- Another major factor that causes premature wrinkles to appear is improper lifestyle. These include frequent stress, tobacco and alcohol abuse, lack of work and rest or a violation of the daily routine, chronic lack of sleep and general overload. Everything in the tray provokes a "bouquet" of wrinkles that deepen with each passing day.
- Many girls believe that at a young age it is not necessary to use high-quality decorative and nourishing cosmetics. However, this misunderstanding is extremely wrong. They are cheap products that put the onset of dehydration of the skin, clog pores, wrinkles appear first between the eyebrows, then in the corners of the eyes and on the bridge of the nose. As a result, it becomes more and more difficult to remove wrinkles and it becomes necessary to completely do without cosmetics.
- First, dynamic wrinkles appear around the eyes, also known as "imitation". At risk are people with heightened emotionality who, because of their service, are forced to express thoughts with facial expressions. Frequent contractions of the facial muscles lead to wrinkles on the skin. Typically, this category includes public figures, translators, and teachers.
- If we talk about external factors, the appearance of wrinkles under the eyes is typical for people who spend a lot of time in front of a PC without eye protection. The same applies to girls and women who go to the solarium and sunbathe. It is imperative to protect your eyes with glasses with a UV filter or anti-reflective coating to avoid squinting.
- Another important aspect that affects the health of the skin of the face is the right choice of pillow. If the head is raised too high during the resting phase, the epidermis will lack nutrients. The same applies to the low level, the face swells up quickly. Choose a pillow that is approximately 8-10 cm when squeezed.

- Lie on the floor or on a firm bed and relax your facial muscles. Lubricate two fingers with oil or moisturizer and slide them over the area under the eyes. Go from the bridge of your nose to your temples and then vice versa. Then use a circular motion to treat the wrinkles and increase blood flow to the tissues. Perform the manipulation for 5 minutes, then change directions and move from the bridge of the nose to the earlobes and back. The total duration of the massage is 15-20 minutes.
- Lubricate your fingertips with a moisturizing day cream spread over the wrinkled area. Start hard by "driving in" the cream, but don't hit the skin hard. The main thing is that your movements are quick. When the product is fully absorbed, stroke the creases to even out the creases. Such a movement moisturizes the skin and makes the blood circulate with a vengeance. The massage should be performed 2 times a day for 15 minutes.
- The starting position is on the bed. Remove the pillow, relax your facial muscles. Place your fingers on the creases and pin them so that the skin doesn't get wrinkled. Close your eyes tightly, wait 15 seconds, relax. Repeat the steps 30 times. After that, wipe the skin with ice cubes and apply a dermis cream around the eyes. The frequency of the massage is three times a day.

At the same time, the body does not perceive tea, juice, fruit drink and other drinks for water. Skip or drink coffee with milk, exclude alcohol and carbonated cocktails.
