Eye Wrinkles : How To Reduce Them?

You encourage eye wrinkles when smiling, frowning, or squinting, but facial expressions aren’t their primary cause of fine lines. Young, healthy skin is smooth because it has plenty of elastin and collagen. Both of these proteins add strength and flexibility to your skin, but as you age, you stop creating as much of those proteins. Crow lines and other wrinkles are the consequence of that change. Secondary causes also come into play, though. Smoking, sun exposure, and other environmental factors can make you age faster. Chronic dehydration can make your lines even more severe, but genetics also play a role. If your parents had thin skin and low levels of collagen and elastin, you’ll probably experience similar effects. Genes decide your skin’s thickness, texture, and sun sensitivity.

These lines emerge during muscle movement but vanish when your face is at rest. In time, though, they can become permanent. As your skin ages, it loses the ability to restore its smooth state.

Crow’s feet are one of the biggest consequences of smoking and squinting. Every movement of your face has the potential to cause lines. Crow’s feet are otherwise known as smile lines.

These lines are generally deeper and more permanent than crow’s feet because they’re a form of static wrinkle. They don’t respond to your facial expressions and are strongly related to collagen. The folds of age-related sagging appear when your skin becomes thinner and less supported.

Eye wrinkles have a host of different causes ranging from collagen and elastin loss to free radicals and sun damage. For that reason, they need a multi-pronged approach to prevention. Your strategy should include:

• Sun protection and sunglasses: No treatment can overcome the effects of frequent sun exposure and the facial expressions it encourages, so you should wear an SPF 30 cream every day. Eye wrinkles are often severe among squinters, so always wear a good pair of sunglasses every time you go outside.

• Daily hydration and moisturisers: Moisture helps maintain your skin’s elasticity, whether you’re drinking it or restoring it topically with hyaluronic acid. A simple moisturiser will go a long way, but powerful anti-ageing technologies will take you further

• Adopting a healthy lifestyle: Your body rewards you for healthy behaviours, so a nutrient-rich diet is the first step to skin health. Look for peptide-rich foods and other proteins. Your skin also needs antioxidants to overcome free radical damage, but if you have a heavy smoking habit, even the most potent supplement won’t save you.

• Regular sleep: Your skin restores itself while you sleep, so make sure you get all 40 winks.

• Gentle skincare routines for the eye area: The right eye moisturiser and gentle cleanser can make a world of difference for your skin elasticity.

• Retinol smooths lines, evens tone and refines texture by speeding cell turnover. Sensitive or avoiding retinoids? Resveratrol, a natural alternative of Retinol. It is a gentler, antioxidant alternative that supports firmness. This is the ingredient used throughout the Resveratrol-Lift anti-wrinkle collection.

• Hyaluronic acid is a hydration magnet. Apply to slightly damp skin AM/PM, then seal with moisturiser. Multi-weight HA gives instant plumpness and longer-lasting hydration.

• Peptides are skin messengers that help support collagen and strengthen the barrier. Use morning and night after HA, before moisturiser. They layer well with both resveratrol and retinol.

A consistent, effective routine can make all the difference, not just to cure wrinkles, but prevent them as well. Not every anti-wrinkle cream is made well for the job, though. The thin skin around the eyes is prone to puffiness, so you need treatments that won’t worsen the problem. The main product for combating wrinkles around the eyes is an Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream. The Resveratrol-Lift eye contour cream reduces puffiness and dark circles, smooths the eyelids and revitalises the eyes. Its formula combines resveratrol (a natural alternative to retinol), hyaluronic acid, lifting peptides, quinoa extract and smoothing biopolymers to reduce puffiness, fine lines and signs of fatigue. The massage tip helps to immediately decongest the area. Results: 84% saw puffiness reduced*
