No person is immune from the appearance of wrinkles under the eyes. Age changes, environmental factors, unhealthy food - all this leads to premature skin aging. Many girls and women think about how to remove the hated wrinkles and make the skin smooth. Experienced cosmetologists advise a holistic approach, adherence to preventive measures and regular production of nourishing masks to rejuvenate the skin around the eyes. Consider the main aspects in turn, we will give effective ways to combat wrinkles.
The first appearance of wrinkles under the eyes
- The first signs of large wrinkles appear at the age of 28-30 years, but it all depends on the individual structure of the dermis and other external factors. However, experienced beauticians have concluded that the production of collagen and elastin fibers slows down at this age.
- The upper layer of the skin is exhausted, it becomes thinner, because the natural regeneration of cells does not take place at the appropriate level. The epidermis loses the ability to retain fluid, which is necessary for tone and elasticity. The skin becomes dehydrated, wrinkles appear on them.
- It’s no secret that the skin around the eyes is the thinnest and most sensitive, which requires a gentle 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 twenties experience their first facial wrinkles.
- When the first wrinkles are firmly fixed on the face, they form so-called "crow's feet" on the corners of the eyes. The characteristic mesh remains on the face due to constant muscle contraction (smile, squint, etc. ). The skin loses elasticity, wrinkles and cracks remain, losing the ability to smooth out.
Causes of wrinkles under the eyes
- If we talk about statistical wrinkles, they are caused by internal changes. These include heart disease, thyroid disease, impaired liver and kidney function, and slowed metabolism. It is quite difficult to identify the cause, as a result of which the fight against wrinkles with the help of folk remedies can take years.
- Estrogen is known to be present in the body of every person, both man and woman. The only difference is in the amount, women have less estrogen. When it stops being produced at all, sudden jumps in the hormonal background begin. The skin fades and wrinkles become associated with age (due to 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 imperfections appear on the face that create deep wrinkles over time.
- For natural regeneration, skin cells must be enriched with oxygen. Otherwise, the lack of fresh air leads to a slowdown of natural functions, the skin becomes flabby, gray. Collagen stops forming in large quantities, the upper layer of the dermis becomes weak. The same can be said for active physical exercises, sport increases tissue elasticity.
- When a person does not respect food hygiene, does not consume fresh vegetables and fruits, drinks little water, toxins accumulate in the subcutaneous tissue. Toxins and toxins clog blood vessels, preventing the blood from circulating completely. The cells do not receive enough oxygen and are depleted. Cosmetic imperfections appear on the entire surface of the face and body, which become deeper over time.
- Another major factor that provokes the appearance of premature wrinkles is the wrong way of life. These include frequent exposure to stress, tobacco and alcohol abuse, lack of work and rest or violation of daily routine, chronic lack of sleep, and general overwork. Everything in the compartment causes a "bouquet" of pine trees that become deeper every day.
- Many girls believe that it is not necessary to use high-quality decorative and nourishing cosmetics in their youth. However, this misconception is utterly wrong. These are cheap products that set the beginning of skin dehydration, clog pores, wrinkles appear first between the eyebrows, then in the corners of the eyes and on the nasal bridge. After that it becomes increasingly difficult to get rid of wrinkles, it becomes necessary to completely abandon cosmetics.
- In the beginning, dynamic wrinkles appear around the eyes, which are called and "imitated". At risk are people with increased emotionality, who by the nature of their service are forced to express thoughts with facial expressions. Frequent contraction of facial muscles creates wrinkles on the skin, this category usually includes public people, translators, 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 computer without eye protection. The same goes for girls and women who go to the solarium and sunbathe. It is necessary to protect your eyes with goggles with a UV filter or anti-reflective coating to prevent blinking.
- Another important aspect that affects the health of facial skin is the proper choice of pillows. If the head is raised too high during rest, the epidermis will lack nutrients. The same applies to low levels, the face swells quickly. Choose a pillow that is compressed about 8-10 cm.
