No person is immune from the appearance of wrinkles under the eyes. Age-related changes, environmental factors, junk food - all this leads to premature skin aging. Many girls and women are thinking about how to remove the hated wrinkles and make the skin soft. Experienced cosmetologists advise to take an integrated approach, adhering to preventive measures and regularly making nourishing masks to rejuvenate the skin around the eyes. Let's examine the key aspects in order, we will provide effective ways to fight 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 cosmetologists have concluded that the production of collagen and elastin fibers slows down precisely from this age.
- The upper layer of the skin is depleted, becoming thinner, as the natural regeneration of cells does not occur at the right level. The epidermis loses its ability to retain fluid, which is necessary for tone and elasticity. The skin becomes dehydrated, wrinkles appear on them.
- It is no secret that the skin around the eyes is thinner and more sensitive, which requires a delicate approach. Among other things, there are few sebaceous glands in this area, which are responsible for hydration and elasticity over time. As a result, even young girls in their 20s experience the first facial wrinkles.
- When the first wrinkles of the face are tightly adjusted, they form the so-called "raven legs" in the corners of the eyes. The characteristic network remains on the face due to constant muscle contraction (smile, quick glance, etc. ). The skin loses its elasticity, wrinkles and cracks remain, losing the ability to soften.
Causes of the appearance of wrinkles under the eyes
- If we talk about statistical wrinkles, they are formed due to internal changes. These include diseases of the heart, thyroid gland, 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 with the help of folk remedies can last for years.
- It is known that estrogen is present in the body of every person, both male and female. The only difference is the amount, women have less estrogen. When it stops producing at all, sharp jumps begin in the hormonal background. The skin fades and wrinkles become age-related (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 defects appear on the face, which over time form deep wrinkles.
- For natural regeneration, skin cells need to be enriched with oxygen. Otherwise, lack of fresh air leads to a slowing down of natural functions, the skin becomes soft, gray. Collagen stops being produced 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 observe food hygiene, does not consume fresh vegetables and fruits, drinks little water, poisons accumulate in the subcutaneous tissue. Toxins and toxins block blood vessels, preventing full blood circulation. The cells do not get enough oxygen and deplete. Cosmetic defects appear all over the surface of the face and body, which become deeper over time.
- Another major factor that provokes the appearance of premature wrinkles is the wrong lifestyle. 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 overload. Everything in the separation provokes a "bunch of flowers" wrinkles that become deeper with each passing day.
- Many girls believe that at a young age it is not necessary to use high quality decorative and careful cosmetics. However, this misconception is extremely wrong. They are cheap products that set the beginning of skin dehydration, block pores, wrinkles appear first between the eyebrows, then in the corners of the eyes and in the bridge of the nose. Then, it becomes more and more difficult to get rid of wrinkles, it becomes necessary to completely abandon cosmetics.
- Initially, dynamic wrinkles appear around the eyes, they are also called "imitators". 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, as a rule, public people, translators, teachers belong to this category.
- 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 PC without eye protection. The same goes for girls and women who go to the sunroom and sunbathe. It is imperative to protect your eyes with glasses with a UV filter or anti-reflective coating to prevent drooping eyes.
- Another important aspect that affects the health of facial skin is the correct choice of pillow. If the head is raised too high during rest, the epidermis will lack nutrients. The same goes for the low level, the face swells quickly. Choose a pillow that is about 8-10 cm when compressed.
