No one is immune to wrinkles under the eyes. Age-related changes, environmental factors, junk food - all this leads to premature aging of the skin. Many girls and women think about how to get rid of hateful wrinkles and make their skin smooth. Experienced cosmetologists advise you to take an integrated approach, follow prophylactic measures and regularly make nourishing masks to rejuvenate the skin around the eyes. Let’s look at the key aspects to give 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, 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 at exactly this age.
- The upper layer of the skin is exhausted, thinned, since the natural regeneration of cells does not take place at the proper level. The epidermis loses its ability to retain fluid, which is essential for tone and elasticity. The skin becomes dehydrated, wrinkles appear.
- 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 several sebaceous glands in this area that are responsible for timely hydration and elasticity. As a result, even young girls under the age of 20 experience the first wrinkles on their face.
- When the first wrinkles of the face stand out firmly, they form e. წ. The characteristic grid remains on the face due to the constant contraction of the muscles (smile, chuckle, etc. ). The skin loses elasticity, wrinkles and cracks remain, loses the ability to smooth.
Causes of wrinkles under the eyes
- If we talk about statistical wrinkles, they arise due to internal changes. These include diseases of the heart, thyroid gland, impaired liver and kidney function, and slowed metabolism. It is quite difficult to determine the cause, the 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 every human body, both male and female. The only difference is in the amount, women have less estrogen. When it is completely stopped production, sharp jumps begin on the hormonal background. The skin disappears and wrinkles become age-related (due to aging of the epidermis).
- Influence of 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 form deep wrinkles over time.
- For natural regeneration, skin cells need to be enriched with oxygen. Otherwise, lack of fresh air causes natural functions to slow down, the skin becomes loose, gray. Collagen stops producing large amounts, the top layer of the dermis weakens. The same can be said for active physical exercises, sport increases tissue elasticity.
- When a person does not follow food hygiene, does not consume fresh vegetables and fruits, drinks little water, poisons accumulate in the subcutaneous tissue. Toxins and toxins clog the blood vessels, preventing blood from circulating fully. The cells do not receive enough oxygen and expire. Cosmetic defects appear on the entire surface of the face and body, which deepen over time.
- Another major factor in 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 disruption of daily routine, chronic sleep deprivation, and general congestion. Everything in the compartment causes a "bouquet" of wrinkles that deepen every day.
- Many girls believe that at a young age there is no need to use high quality make-up and caring cosmetics. However, this misconception is very wrong. These are inexpensive products that create the onset of dehydration of the skin, suffocate the pores, wrinkles appear first between the eyebrows, then in the corners of the eyes and on the bridge of the nose. Subsequently, it becomes more and more difficult to remove wrinkles, cosmetics are completely abandoned.
- Initially, dynamic wrinkles appear around the eyes, they are called "mimics". At risk are people with elevated emotions 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, this category includes members of the public, translators, teachers.
- 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 computer without eye protection. The same goes for girls and women who go to the solarium and sunbathe. It is necessary to protect the eyes with an ultraviolet filter or anti-reflective coating on the glasses to avoid closing the eyes.
- Another important aspect that affects the health of facial skin is the right choice of pillow. If the head is raised too high during rest, the epidermis is deficient in nutrients. The same goes for low levels, the face falls apart quickly. Choose a pillow that is about 8-10 cm thick when compressed.
