No human being is immune to wrinkles under the eyes. Age-related changes, environmental factors, junk food - all this leads to premature aging of the skin. Many girls and women are considering how to remove the hated folds and make the skin smooth. Experienced cosmetologists recommend taking an integrated approach, observing preventive measures and regularly making nourishing masks to rejuvenate the skin around the eyes. Let us consider the most important aspects in order, we provide effective ways to combat 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 cosmetologists have concluded that the production of collagen and elastin fibers slows down exactly at this age.
- The upper layer of the skin is emptied, becoming thinner as the natural regeneration of cells does not occur at the proper level. The epidermis loses its ability to retain fluid, which is necessary for tone and elasticity. The skin becomes dehydrated, folds appear on them.
- It is no secret that the skin around the eyes is the thinnest and most sensitive, requiring a delicate approach. Among other things, there are few sebaceous glands in this area that are responsible for timely hydration and elasticity. As a result, even young girls in their 20s experience their first facial wrinkles.
- When the first facial wrinkles are stuck, they form the so-called "crow's feet" at the eyes. The characteristic mask remains in the face due to constant muscle contraction (smile, crooked, etc. ). The skin loses its elasticity, folds and cracks remain and lose the ability to smooth out.
Causes of wrinkles under the eyes
- If we talk about statistical wrinkles, they are formed due to internal changes. These include diseases of the heart, thyroid gland, impaired liver and kidney function and slow metabolism. It is quite difficult to identify the reason why the fight against wrinkles using folk remedies can last for years.
- It is known that estrogen is present in the body of every person, both man and woman. The only difference is the amount women have less estrogen. When it is no longer produced at all, sharp jumps begin in the hormonal background. The skin fades and wrinkles become age-related (due to the aging of the epidermis).
- Exposure to environmental factors is considered to be the most common cause of wrinkles under the eyes. Absolutely everything is used - sun, rain, frost, wind. Cosmetic defects appear on the face, which over time form deep wrinkles.
- For natural regeneration, skin cells must be enriched with oxygen. Otherwise, the lack of fresh air leads to a slowdown in natural functions, the skin becomes flabby, gray. Collagen stops producing in large quantities, the upper layer of the dermis becomes weak. The same can be said about active physical exercise, sports increase tissue elasticity.
- When a person does not adhere to food hygiene, does not eat fresh vegetables and fruits, drinks little water, toxins accumulate in the subcutaneous tissue. Toxins and toxins clog blood vessels and prevent blood from circulating fully. The cells do not receive enough oxygen and are depleted. Cosmetic defects appear on the entire surface of the face and body, which deepens over time.
- Another major factor that provokes the occurrence of premature wrinkles is the wrong lifestyle. These include frequent exposure to stress, abuse of tobacco and alcohol, lack of work and rest or a violation of daily routine, chronic lack of sleep and general overtime. Everything in the room evokes a "bouquet" of wrinkles that gets deeper with each passing day.
- Many girls believe that at a young age it is not necessary to use high-quality decorative and caring cosmetics. However, this misunderstanding is extremely erroneous. These are inexpensive products that set the beginning of dehydration of the skin, clog the pores, wrinkles appear first between the eyebrows, then in the eyes and on the bridge of the nose. Then it becomes more and more difficult to get rid of wrinkles, it becomes necessary to completely abandon cosmetics.
- Initially, dynamic wrinkles appear around the eyes, they are also called "mimic". At risk are people with increased sensitivity, who by the nature of their service are forced to express thoughts with facial expressions. Frequent contraction of the facial muscles creates folds on the skin, usually public people, translators, teachers belong to this category.
- If we talk about external factors, wrinkles under the eyes are typical of people who spend a lot of time in front of a PC without eye protection. The same goes for 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 prevent skew.
- Another important aspect that affects the health of the facial skin is the right choice of pillow. If the head is raised too high during rest, the epidermis lacks nutrients. The same goes for the low level, the face swells up quickly. Choose a pillow that is approx. 8-10 cm when compressed.
