Banish Under Eye Wrinkles: Your Ultimate Guide to Youthful Skin

Definition of under eye wrinkles

Lines and wrinkles under the eyes are physical signs of ageing. They occur when the skin around the eyes becomes thinner, losing elasticity. These fine lines and wrinkles can result from regular sun exposure, smoking, or genetic reasons. The main reason for these fine lines and wrinkles is a lack of collagen in the area around the eyes. Collagen depletes as years go by, resulting in these fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.

Factors that contribute to under-the-eye wrinkles

As already noted various factors contribute to under eye wrinkles, including frequent sun exposure, smoking, repetitive facial movements, regular and excessive alcohol consumption, and some genetic traits. However, they are also a result of the natural ageing process due to decreased levels of collagen in the skin under the eyes.

Importance of early prevention

Taking early action is important in slowing down the visible effects of ageing. Cutting down on smoking and drinking could help slow down the early onset of under-the-eye wrinkles, alongside regular use of high quality skincare collections, like Caudalie.

In-depth exploration of the causes

Loss of collagen and elastic under the skin cause fat pad displacement around the eyes, leading to wrinkles and fine lines. This can be exacerbated by regular dehydration and frequent muscle movement.

The role of genetics in under eye wrinkles

Genetics can also play a role in the development of wrinkles under the eyes. If your parents have wrinkles under the eyes it's highly likely that you will develop them too. This makes it vital to adopt a beneficial skincare regime at the earliest opportunity.

Lifestyle changes

It's important to embrace lifestyle changes if you're worried about under-the-eye wrinkles. Facial skin should be hydrated at all times, as water is vital to skin health. Eating healthily is also vital, embrace foods that are rich in Omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants and discover the range of collagen enhancing foods that are rich in vitamin E. Say goodbye to smoking and alcohol to discourage the formation of wrinkles and embark on a regular exercise regime as this can have a positive impact on skin quality.

Stress management techniques

Yoga, relaxation exercises and meditation all play a useful role in maintaining a healthy skin as they can improve circulation.

Non-surgical treatments

A variety of non-surgical treatments are available to treat eye wrinkles. Retinol and retinoids contained in proprietary creams and lotions work to smooth the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving skin youthful and glowing. Hyaluronic acid fillers work to hydrate and plump out wrinkles and line, while chemical peels treat wrinkles and discoloured skin. Chemical peels can be carried out at different depths and chemicals are applied to remove the top layers of skin.

Surgical options

Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is a safe surgical procedure which improves the appearance of eyelids and reduces the appearance of tired skin around the lower eyes.

Home remedies

One little known trick to reduce under-the-eye wrinkles is to conduct regular, home massage to the face, temples and jaw line. This can improve blood circulation, reduce puffy skin and relax and tone the under eye area.
