They may be annoying, but they are no reason to freak out – wrinkles under the eyes. With a healthy lifestyle and the right care, we can do a lot for a radiant eye area.
Far too little sleep or the odd glass of wine in the evening in combination with a few smouldering stalks make our sensitive eye area look quite old. Crow’s feet, dark circles and wrinkles under the eyes quickly become noticeable. We can’t stop skin aging, but with a healthy diet, enough sleep and the right eye care we can do a lot to keep the eye area smooth and radiant. Here are our best tips and tricks against eye wrinkles.
Under eye wrinkles: Causes
- At 0.5 mm, the eye area is almost four times thinner than the rest of the face skin.
- In addition, there is hardly any subcutaneous fatty tissue and few sebaceous and sweat glands, which protect them from drying out
- and – last but not least – 10,000 blinking movements per day!
- Also environmental influences (UV radiation)
- Little sleep
- Unhealthy nutrition
- Alcohol
- And cigarettes accelerate skin aging and thus the formation of wrinkles under the eyes.
- Natural skin aging also plays a major role. While in our young years we have very firm skin without any wrinkles, the elasticity decreases more and more with age.
So if you not only want to minimize eye wrinkles, but also counteract them, you should start early with the right care.
Fight wrinkles under the eyes with the right care!
Even if wrinkles under the eyes are normal, many women find them disturbing. However, the wrinkles can be reduced with serums, creams etc. You should pay attention to this in your product selection:
- Moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluron, amino acids and herbal ingredients such as cucumber or aloe vera
- A night care with lipids and fats, for example vegetable oils such as evening primrose, grape seed or wheat germ oil
- Firming and antioxidant ingredients such as peptides, vitamin C and vitamin E
- Ingredients that reduce swelling and help against dark circles under the eyes, such as ginseng and caffeine
- An absolute must for during the day: a cream with UV protection. UV radiation is and remains the main factor for premature skin aging!
Injection with Botox or Hyaluron
For deeper wrinkles under the eyes, an injection with hyaluronan or Botox offers immediate help. Hyaluronic acid pads up eye wrinkles in no time at all, makes the skin look beautifully plump and also boosts collagen production in the long term. Botox paralyses the facial muscles and thus also the formation of eye wrinkles. While Botox diminishes after a few months, the effect of hyaluronic acid lasts much longer. However, the use of Botox is often combined with the injection of hyaluronic acid.
Simply massage away wrinkles under the eyes!
Even a gentle massage can do a lot against wrinkles. It removes waste products, stimulates the lymph flow and oxygen supply and minimizes crow’s feet, shadows and wrinkles under the eyes as well as swelling.
Besides the right care with hyaluron etc. it is a healthy lifestyle, which has a positive effect on skin aging and thus the formation of eye wrinkles. This includes sufficient sleep, no alcohol or nicotine, plenty of water and a healthy diet.
