No person is immune to the appearance of wrinkles under the eyes. Changes related to age, environmental factors, junk food - all this leads to premature aging of the skin. Many girls and women are thinking about how to remove hated wrinkles and smooth skin. Experienced cosmetologists advise taking an integrated approach, observing preventive measures and regularly making nourishing masks to rejuvenate the skin around the eyes. Let's consider the main aspects in order, we will give effective ways to fight wrinkles.
First appearance of wrinkles under the eyes.
- The first signs of large wrinkles appear between the ages of 28 and 30, 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 at this age.
- The upper layer of the skin is depleted, it becomes thinner, since the natural regeneration of cells does not occur at the proper 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's no secret that the skin around the eyes is the finest and most sensitive, requiring 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 women in their 20s experience their first facial wrinkles.
- When the first facial wrinkles are firmly set, they form the so-called "crow's feet" in the corners of the eyes. The characteristic mesh remains on the face due to constant muscle contraction (smiling, squinting, etc. ). The skin loses its elasticity, wrinkles and cracks remain, losing the ability to smooth itself.
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, the thyroid gland, liver and kidney failure, and slow metabolism. It is quite difficult to identify the cause, so the fight against wrinkles with the help of home remedies can last for years.
- Estrogen is known to be present in the body of all people, both men and women. The only difference is the amount, women have less estrogen. When it stops occurring, the sudden jumps in the hormonal background begin. The skin fades and wrinkles become age-related (due to aging of the epidermis).
- Exposure to environmental factors is considered the most common cause of under eye wrinkles. Absolutely everything is used: the sun, the rain, the frost, the wind. Cosmetic defects appear on the face, which over time form deep folds.
- For natural regeneration, skin cells must be enriched with oxygen. Otherwise, the lack of fresh air leads to a slowdown in natural functions, the skin becomes flabby, gray. Collagen is no longer produced in large quantities, the upper layer of the dermis weakens. The same can be said of active physical exercise, sport increases the elasticity of tissues.
- 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 clog blood vessels, preventing blood from circulating completely. Cells do not get enough oxygen and are depleted. Cosmetic defects appear on the entire surface of the face and body, which deepen over time.
- Another main factor that causes the appearance of premature wrinkles is the improper lifestyle. These include frequent exposure to stress, tobacco and alcohol abuse, lack of work and rest or a violation of the daily routine, chronic lack of sleep, and general overwork. Everything in the compartment causes a "bunch" of wrinkles that deepen with each passing day.
- Many girls believe that at a young age it is not necessary to use high-quality decorative and care cosmetics. However, this misconception is extremely wrong. They are cheap products that mark the beginning of dehydration of the skin, clog pores, wrinkles appear first between the eyebrows, then in the corners of the eyes and on the bridge of the nose. Subsequently, it becomes increasingly difficult to get rid of wrinkles, it becomes necessary to completely abandon cosmetics.
- Initially, dynamic wrinkles appear around the eyes, they are also called "mimicry". At risk are people with greater emotionality, who, by the nature of their service, are forced to express thoughts with facial expressions. Frequent contraction of the facial muscles creates folds in the skin, as a rule, public persons, translators and teachers belong to this category.
- If we talk about external factors, the appearance of wrinkles under the eyes is typical of people who spend a lot of time in front of a PC without eye protection. The same applies to girls and women who go to the solarium and sunbathe. It is imperative to protect your eyes with UV filter glasses or anti-reflective coating to avoid squinting.
- Another important aspect that affects the health of the facial skin is the correct choice of pillow. If the head is raised too high during rest, the epidermis will lack nutrients. The same applies to the low level, the face swells quickly. Choose a pillow that measures 8-10 cm when compressed.
