The eye area is one of the first
regions of the face to show the signs of ageing.
The skin around the eyes is deprived of oil glands
and is very delicate and that’s why the skin doesn’t
have a protection against the environments influences
and UV rays. Eye wrinkles / crow’s feet/ are a common
and highly visible sign of ageing. The lack of oil
glands makes the skin around the eyes prone to dehydration
and makes it easier for the wrinkles to form. Unfortunately
many women forget to use special eye creams and
the result isn’t behind.
The hot sun during the summer and the bitter cold
weather during the winter defeat the skin. The tiny
lines around the eyes usually appear when we reach
our late twenties. These lines gradually deepen
over the years and become prominent, because the
skin is the thinnest and most delicate in the entire
body. The eyelid area is one of the most animated
parts of the face with strong muscles creating multiple
expressions.
The most common cause of wrinkles around the eyes
is the tiny muscles next to our eyes, contracting
as we change our facial expressions, but that doesn’t
mean that we should stop smiling.
The loss of
elasticity also causes the formation
of wrinkles. As we get older our skin loses its
elasticity and produce less collagen under the skin.
All of this makes the skin sag and wrinkle.
The sun is also to blame. The sum
damages the collagen fibres and causes the accumulation
of abnormal elastin. The ultraviolet radiation (UV)
causes wrinkles by breaking down the collagen and
decreasing the skin’s elasticity and is associated
with the formation of sun spots and other types
of sun damage.
Smoking also helps the skin around the eyes to wrinkle
easily, because it causes narrowing of the blood
vessels in the layers of the skin. Smoking damages
the elastin and collagen that help to keep the skin
soft, tight and elastic. Smokers tend to have more
wrinkles around the eyes than the non-smokers. Smoking
also increases the wrinkles around the mouth because
smokers squint more.
What
you should do to prevent wrinkles around the eyes?
- Don’t forget to cleanse the skin
around the eyes in the morning with special eye
lotions or cleansing milk.
- Apply an eye cream with light
pats but don’t stretch the skin. Apply them carefully
starting at the outer corner of the eyes to the
inner corners.
- At night remove the makeup carefully.
Apply cleansing milk and remove the mascara firstly
and when you have removed the makeup completely
apply an eye cream again.
The skin around the eyes is
very delicate and sensitive, and that’s why
you should use special eye creams or gels that
are specifically made for the delicate eye area.
Most of them contain ingredients that relax
the muscles, vitamins, retinol and collagen.
Tips:
- The eye cream should be applied
before the face cream
- Apply an eye mask twice a week
- Place tea-bags over the eyes
to calm irritates eyes
- If your skin is sensitive use
fragrance-free products
- Always apply sunscreen, especially
during the summer months
- Avoid using creamy eye shadows-
they may seep into your fine lines and accentuate
them even more
- Get plenty of sleep
- Drink lots of water, at least
1.5 liter
- Wear hats and black sunglasses
especially during the summer
- Avoid smoking – it makes you
squint and deprive your skin from “air“
- Take vitamins and eat lots of
vegetables and fruits
- Always use products of high quality.
