How to remove wrinkles under the eyes at home

No one is immune from the appearance of wrinkles under the eyes. Age-related changes, environmental factors, junk food - all of this premature aging of the skin. Many girls and women are wondering how to remove the hateful wounds and smooth the skin. Experienced cosmetologists recommend taking an integrated approach, observing preventive measures and regularly applying nourishing masks to rejuvenate the skin around the eyes. Let's consider the key elements in order, we will give effective ways 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 cosmetologists have concluded that collagen and elastin fiber production decreases precisely by this age.
2. The top layer of skin is depleted, it becomes thinner, since the natural regeneration of cells does not occur at the right level. The epidermis loses its ability to retain fluid, which is essential for tone and elasticity. The skin becomes dehydrated, creams become visible.
3. It is 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, which are responsible for timely hydration and elasticity. As a result, even young girls in their 20s get their first facial wrinkles.
4. When the first facial wrinkles are firmly fixed, they form the so-called "peak legs" at the corners of the eyes. The characteristic mesh remains on the face due to constant contraction of muscles (smile, squint, etc. ). The skin loses its elasticity, creases and cracks remain, losing the ability to smooth out.

Causes the appearance of wrinkles under the eyes

1. If we talk about statistical wrinkles, they are created due to internal changes. These include diseases of the heart, thyroid gland, impaired liver and kidney function, and slow metabolism. The cause is quite difficult to identify, and as a result the fight against wrinkles with the help of folk remedies can last for years.
2. Estrogen is known to be present in the body of everyone, male and female. The only difference is the size, women have less estrogen. When it ceases to be produced at all, sharp jumpers begin in the hormonal background. Fades and wrinkles of the skin are associated with age (due to aging of the epidermis).
3. Exposure to environmental factors is considered to be the most common cause of wrinkles under the eyes. Everything is fully used - the sun, rain, frost, wind. Cosmetic defects appear on the face, which create deep creams over time.
4. For natural regeneration, skin cells need to be enriched with oxygen. Otherwise, lack of fresh air leads to slowing of natural functions, the skin becomes flabby, gray. Collagen stops producing in large quantities, the upper layer of the dermis becomes weak. The same can be said about active physical exercise, the sport increases tissue elasticity.
5. When one does not look at food hygiene, does not eat fresh vegetables and fruits, does not drink much water, poisons accumulate in the subcutaneous tissue. Toxins and toxins clog blood vessels, preventing blood from circulating completely. The cells do not get enough oxygen and are depleted. Cosmetic defects appear on the entire surface of the face and body, which become deeper over time.
6. Another key factor that encourages 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 the daily routine, chronic lack of sleep and general overwork. Everything in the "bouquet" compartment encourages wrinkles that go deeper with each passing day.
7. Many girls believe that it is not necessary to use high quality decorative and sympathetic cosmetics at a young age. However, this misconception is grossly erroneous. They are cheap products that trigger dehydration of the skin, clog the pores, wrinkles appear first between the eyelashes, then in the corners of the eyes and on the bridge of the nose. After that, it becomes more difficult to get rid of creases, cosmetics need to be abandoned altogether.
8. First, dynamic wrinkles appear around the eyes, they are also called "mimics". At risk are people with increased emotion, who, by the nature of their service, are forced to express ideas with faces. Frequent contraction of the facial muscles creates creases on the skin, as a rule, public figures, translators, teachers belong to this category.
9. If we talk about external factors, wrinkles under the eyes usually appear 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 essential to protect your eyes with glasses with a UV filter or anti-reflective coating to prevent squinting.
10. Another important aspect that affects a person’s skin health is the right choice of pillow. If the head is raised too high during rest, there will be a lack of nutrients in the epidermis. The same goes for the low level, the face swells quickly. Choose a pillow that is about 8-10 cm when compressed.
