How to remove wrinkles under the eyes at home

No one is protected from the appearance of wrinkles under the eyes. Age-related changes, environmental factors, unhealthy foods - all lead to premature skin aging. Many girls and women are thinking about how to remove hated wrinkles and how to smooth their skin. Experienced beauticians recommend applying an integrated approach, adhering to preventive measures, and making masks that regularly nourish the skin around the eyes. Let’s take a look at the main aspects, we give effective methods to combat wrinkles.

The first appearance of wrinkles under the eyes

1. The first signs of large wrinkles appear by 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 to just this age.
2. The upper layer of the skin becomes depleted, becoming thinner because the natural regeneration of the cells does not occur at the right level. The epidermis loses the fluid-retaining ability it needs for tone and elasticity. The skin dries out and wrinkles appear on them.
3. It’s no secret that the skin around the eyes is the thinnest and most sensitive, which requires a delicate approach. Among other things, there are few sebaceous glands in this area that are responsible for hydration and flexibility over time. As a result, even young girls around the age of 20 experience their first facial wrinkles.
4. When the first facial wrinkles are firmly fixed, they form so-called "crow's feet" in the corner of the eye. The characteristic mesh remains on the face due to the constant contraction of the muscles (smile, squint, etc. ). The skin loses its elasticity, wrinkles and cracks remain, losing its ability to smooth.

Causes of wrinkles under the eyes

1. When we talk about statistical wrinkles, they are caused by internal changes. These include heart, thyroid disease, impaired liver and kidney function, and slow metabolism. It is quite difficult to identify the cause, as a result of which the fight against wrinkles using folk remedies can take years.
2. Estrogen is known to be present in every human body, both male and female. The only difference is the amount, less estrogen in women. When it is not produced at all, sharp jumps begin in the hormonal background. The skin fades and the wrinkles are related to age (due to aging of the epidermis).
3. Exposure to environmental factors is the most common cause of wrinkles under the eyes. They use absolutely everything - sun, rain, frost, wind. Cosmetic blemishes appear on the face that form deep wrinkles over time.
4. For natural regeneration, skin cells need to be enriched with oxygen. Otherwise, the lack of fresh air leads to a slowdown in natural functions, the skin becomes flabby, gray. Collagen stops in large quantities, the upper layer of the dermis becomes weak. The same can be said for active exercise, sport increases tissue flexibility.
5. When a person does not observe food hygiene, does not eat fresh vegetables and fruits, drinks little water, toxins accumulate in the tissues under the skin. Toxins and toxins clog blood vessels, preventing complete circulation of blood. The cells do not receive enough oxygen and are depleted. Cosmetic blemishes appear on the entire surface of the face and body, which become deeper and deeper over time.
6. Another major factor in triggering the appearance of early wrinkles is improper lifestyle. These include frequent exposure to stress, smoking and alcohol abuse, lack of work and rest or violation of daily routine, chronic sleep deprivation, and general overload. In the compartment, each wrinkle triggers a "bouquet" that deepens every day.
7. Many girls think that it is not necessary to use high-quality decorative and caring cosmetics at a young age. However, this misconception is extremely wrong. Inexpensive products determine the onset of dehydration of the skin, clog pores, between the eyebrows, and then wrinkles appear in the corners of the eyes and on the bridge of the nose. After that, it becomes more and more difficult to get rid of wrinkles, it becomes necessary to completely abandon the cosmetics.
8. Initially, dynamic wrinkles appear around the eyes, also called "imitators. "At risk are people with heightened emotions who, by the nature of their ministry, are forced to express their thoughts with facial expressions. Frequent contraction of the facial muscles creates wrinkles on the skin, usually public people, translators, teachers fall into this category.
9. When it comes to external factors, the appearance of under-eye wrinkles is 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. To avoid squinting, it is essential to protect your eyes with a UV filter or reflective coated goggles.
10. Another important aspect that affects the health of facial skin is the right choice of pillow. If the head rises too high during rest, the epidermis is deficient in nutrients. The same goes for low levels, the face swells quickly. Choose a pillow that is compressed to about 8-10 cm.
