How to prevent, reduce and remove wrinkles around the eyes.

Hello, my dear readers! Today I decided to write an article about wrinkles around the eyes.

It seems to me that this topic worries a lot of people, because each of us wants to delay the appearance of these thin threads for as long as possible.

So, why do facial wrinkles occur around the eyes, what triggers their appearance, how can they be dealt with, and what can be done to prevent their occurrence.

Expression wrinkles around the eyes

Expression wrinkles around the eyes are a phenomenon that everyone faces, regardless of their own wishes.

And often it’s not just about how old a person is, but also about lifestyle, skin type, and habits.

Many representatives of the fairer sex have been looking for years for a product that will rejuvenate, but in fact, girls, you don’t have to look far.

At home, it is quite acceptable to fight expression lines around the eyes and do it effectively!!!

What are the reasons for wrinkles around the eyes?

Let's look at the main reasons.

The skin around the eyes has almost no muscle tissue and sebaceous glands. She is dry and therefore ages rapidly.

The eyelids are significantly loaded: a person not only constantly blinks, but his eyelids and eyes are constantly involved in almost all facial reactions and manifestations - from sad to joyful emotions.

In addition to emotional manifestations, people often close their eyes due to sunlight, wind, dust, or vision problems.

The reasons why wrinkles appear on the face are as follows:

Rapid weight loss or gain.
Chronic fatigue, lack of sleep, missing teeth.
Incorrect application or removal of makeup.
Using low quality cosmetics that contain whitening and exfoliating agents.
Weak facial muscle tissue.

With age, the skin of the face loses fat particles and becomes much drier.

Consumption of a small amount of liquid leads to dryness and, as a result, rapid aging.

An unhealthy or poor diet can become the precursor to the fact that fat in the skin cells begins to be distributed incorrectly.

The human body is subject to uneven aging.

Thus, the aging processes of the skin can occur faster than the organs located inside and vice versa.

The appearance of wrinkles around the eyes is influenced by all systems, especially the central nervous system, metabolism and digestive system.

The emotional state of a person also matters.

Optimism and a positive attitude have a positive effect on blood circulation in cells, negative emotions cause vascular spasms, damaging the condition of the skin.

Anti-wrinkle lifting

The main points in the fight against deep wrinkles:

Use a good quality moisturizer. In general, all moisturizers contain ingredients designed to combat wrinkles, but the best ones are those for which the manufacturer specifies that it is an anti-wrinkle cream. Moisturizing cream is applied to the face twice a day - once after morning cleansing and a second time after evening cleansing.

You shouldn’t bother too much if you only have morning or evening (night) cream available. The division of moisturizers into daytime and nighttime ones was invented by manufacturers to generate additional profits. There are no differences in the chemical composition of the day and night creams from the same company. But you shouldn’t apply a moisturizer to your face before going outside in the hope that it will protect you from the sun. The sun's rays neutralize the moisturizer, making it ineffective.

Be sure to use a cream for the skin around the eyes - every woman knows that the skin around the eyes is different from the skin on the face - it is thinner, more delicate, and therefore wrinkles and sag faster. So you will have to add eye cream to your face moisturizer.

How to properly treat wrinkles

When wrinkles already exist, the fight against them should not be limited to just applying moisturizer to the face. They need to be treated, and for this, several times a week, carry out the following procedure:

Treat wrinkles with some kind of retinoid (retinoids have been proven to be the best way to remove deep wrinkles and other signs of skin aging). At first, solutions or lotions containing retinoids may cause redness of the treated surfaces, but as soon as the skin “calms down”, the effect of the procedure will be noticeable. It is better to buy retinol creams at a pharmacy, according to a dermatologist’s prescription, but store-bought “options” are also effective.

Note. Products containing retinol deteriorate in quality when exposed to direct sunlight, and although manufacturers package their products in shells that partially block the sun's rays, it is still better to buy dosed creams (single-use sachets or capsules).

It’s great when skin care products contain idebenone - this filler is a powerful antioxidant and, using an ointment containing idebenone, you can reduce the depth of wrinkles by 29-30%.

For very delicate skin, creams containing alpha-hydroxy acids are suitable. These products will not irritate the skin as much as happens when using creams with ideben, although the effect will not be as noticeable.
Ointments containing only antioxidants - contain vitamin A, C and E, plus beta-carotene. The composition improves the overall condition of the skin, but only slightly smoothes out wrinkles.
Exfoliating procedures - to remove dead skin cells, various scrubs are used, which are applied to damp skin with massage movements. Then the scrub is washed off, and a moisturizer is applied to a clean face. As a natural scrub, you can use oatmeal, the grounds of drunk insoluble coffee, and even sugar.

Note. When applying any creams, including anti-aging ones, to the face for the prevention and treatment of wrinkles, experts suggest doing simple self-massage:

Apply small drops of cream to cheeks, forehead and neck;
Sit in front of the mirror with your profile and use two fingers (index and middle) to make massage movements from the hairline to the center and up;
Make sure that the pressure on the skin is medium;
Repeat each movement six times;
Don't forget about the neck and décolleté area.

Aggressive wrinkle lifting

It would be naive to assume that women, in their fight against wrinkles, have stopped at using only creams. Of course not! Creams help significantly only up to a certain point, and then the time comes when age takes its toll and wrinkles, despite the kilograms of the most expensive ointments applied to them, begin to take their “rightful” place. That’s when aggressive lifting comes into play, including:

Chemical peeling is a superficial, medium or deep exposure of the skin to chemicals.

With superficial exposure, only the stratum corneum of the skin is affected. This method of fighting wrinkles, through peeling, is the safest. The procedure is carried out with both acids and alkalis. Superficial peeling removes wrinkles not only on the face, but also in the décolleté area, on the stomach, and on the hands.
With medium exposure, cells are removed at the level of the living epidermis, right down to the basement membrane. This method is effective when it comes to removing age wrinkles, narrowing pores, reducing skin greasiness and eliminating age spots.

With deep exposure, the papillary and reticular layers of the dermis are affected. This is a complex procedure classified as dermosurgery. The effect of deep peeling is amazing, as it visually rejuvenates the skin by 15-20 years. Unfortunately, the risks are also great - there are cases where deep peeling, performed in the most expensive clinics, under the most favorable conditions, caused complications such as skin inflammation, hyperpigmentation and depigmentation. Another inconvenience is that the rehabilitation period after primary peeling lasts up to three months.

Note. Until recently, deep peeling was performed under anesthesia, but new technologies make it possible to perform this procedure without the intervention of an anesthesiologist. Another inconvenience is that the rehabilitation period after primary peeling lasts up to three months.

Hyaluronic acid injections are a very popular non-surgical method for wrinkle removal. GK injections cause an improvement in metabolism in the skin, which makes it elastic and smooth.
A circular lift is a surgical operation after which the original oval of the face is restored and wrinkles are smoothed out.
Seamless lifting is a non-surgical procedure that removes wrinkles and restores facial contours.
Thread lifting is a method by which gold, platinum or nylon threads are introduced under the skin. The skin receives a rigid base and “does not wrinkle.” There are absorbable, non-absorbable and combined threads. Which of them to use depends on the patient’s wishes and the doctor’s decision.
Hardware lifting is a non-surgical multifunctional supporting procedure. Of course, it has to be repeated from time to time, since after a certain number of months, wrinkles appear again. But many women choose this particular method of rejuvenation because of its comfort and accessibility. Among all hardware methods for eliminating wrinkles, the leadership belongs to the Italian device Eximia HR77, which provides a comprehensive effect in one procedure, thanks to several attachments.

The dermis here is very thin and delicate, to avoid the occurrence of negative reactions, you need to carefully study the composition of recipes for masks.

Like any other masks, eyelid compositions should be kept on the skin for 15 to 20 minutes, because wrinkles around the eyes can be removed only with prolonged exposure of the emulsion to the tissue.

Preventing wrinkles around the eyes

To delay the formation of facial wrinkles around the eyes, remember the following rules:

Drink enough fluids
Wear sunglasses in the summer
Try to squint your eyes as little as possible
Apply cream and other cosmetics around the eyes very gently, only using your fingertips and in a very small amount.
Cosmetologists do not recommend using cosmetics intended for the face on the eyelids. To care for the skin around the eyes, use only eyelid gels and emulsions.
Drugs marked 35+ and 45+ cannot be used by young girls.

Reasons for appearance

Wrinkles under the eyes are one of the first to appear. The skin in this area is very thin, devoid of sebaceous glands, which usually autonomously moisturize the dermis and protect it from drying out.

Insufficient skin hydration leads to loss of elasticity. During everyday facial movements, when we squint, squint, frown or smile, the dermis stretches. Due to dryness, the skin cannot return to its previous condition, and wrinkles form around the eyes.
Overly active facial expressions can also lead to the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes, even on fairly elastic skin.
Stress reduces the regenerative properties of the skin, since metabolic processes in the tissues deteriorate and the cells receive few nutrients and nutrition.
Unbalanced and poor nutrition leads to the fact that cells receive insufficient amounts of the vitamins and elements they need, and the skin begins to fade prematurely.
Even if you are a supporter of natural beauty, you still use decorative cosmetics from time to time. You need to wash it off with special compounds that will not only cleanse your skin of its traces, but also additionally moisturize it. It is important to take optimal care of the skin around the eyes already at the cleansing stage.
Caring for the skin around the eyes after 25 years using inappropriate products often causes wrinkles in the dermis. If you choose a cream without taking into account your skin type, or do not know how to properly apply the cream around the eyes, then you risk stretching the skin or making it dry.
The sun dries out the delicate dermis, increasing the risk of wrinkles appearing on it. Bright rays make us squint and squint, which triggers the process of wrinkles appearing around the eyes. In summer, you need to cover the organs of vision and the integument around them with hats and glasses, as well as care for the skin around the eyes with sunscreen. Over-drying of the dermis in a solarium often causes wrinkles to appear under the eyes at the age of 20.

To reduce the rate of formation of mesh around the eyes, you need to regularly moisturize the skin, stimulate its protective and restorative functions, and also protect it from the sun and aggressive cosmetics.

You need to take care of your skin not only when problems become obvious and you are thinking about how to remove wrinkles around the eyes; caring for her should be thorough and daily.
