Acne around the corners of the eyes

It is very common to get acne on our face, but the locations are different. Some people have it on the cheeks, some on the chin, and some around the mouth. Acne in different places also represents different problems in the body. For example, acne on the chin is mostly related to the kidneys. So what does it mean when pimples appear near the corners of the eyes? In this case, we need to consider the problem of excessive sebum secretion and the skin needs to be thoroughly cleansed.

What causes acne near the corners of the eyes?

Acne around the eyes is a result of excessive secretion of oil glands, which leads to clogged pores. Pay attention to maintaining local hygiene and avoid scratching.

Avoid squeezing with your hands to prevent secondary bacterial infection after skin damage. Apply local hot compress, avoid irritation from cosmetics, use iodine to disinfect to prevent infection. In addition, drink more water and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

Eye Care

Maintenance Methods

Eye care is divided into internal care, external care and special care:

(1) Get enough sleep and avoid staying up late.

(2) Drink plenty of water on a daily basis and avoid drinking large amounts of water before going to bed.

(3) Maintain an optimistic attitude and treat diseases promptly, especially endocrine disorders.

(4) Avoid direct sunlight.

(5) Avoid developing bad habits of squinting, blinking, squeezing or rubbing your eyes.

External maintenance

(1) Makeup removal and cleansing: Because the skin around the eyes is very sensitive and delicate, you should be extremely careful when removing makeup and must use a special eye makeup remover.

(2) Choose appropriate eye care products: There are many eye care products available on the market, such as eye cream, eye gel, eye essence, etc. Eye cream is highly moisturizing and nourishing, suitable for people with wrinkles around the eyes; eye gel is a plant-based gel-like substance with mild ingredients, easy to absorb and non-greasy, suitable for dark circles, eye bags, etc. Generally, use essence first, then eye cream or eye gel. A mung bean-sized amount is sufficient. It is best to apply hot compress first and then apply, and combine with massage and acupressure for better results.

(3) Massage and acupressure: Eye massage can promote blood circulation and muscle movement around the eyes, brighten the eyes and eliminate fatigue.

Specific method: Apply eye care products before going to bed every night, and use the middle finger or ring finger to massage. Gently push the upper eyelid from the beginning of the eye to the end of the eye and press lightly to the temple, then start from the end of the eye and press each acupoint lightly (in order, the Sizhu point at the end of the eyebrow, the Yufu point in the middle of the eyebrow, the Zanzhu point at the beginning of the eyebrow, and finally to the Jingming point at the beginning of the eye). The same is true for the lower eyelid, but the acupoints are pressed with fingers (in order, the Tongzi point at the end of the eye, the Chengqi point and the Sibai point below the center of the lower eye). Press each acupoint based on soreness and swelling, release after 2 seconds, and repeat 5-6 times.

(IV) Eye mask care: 1-2 times a week to provide special moisture and relaxation to the eyes. You can use collagen eye mask for care, or you can make your own eye mask (mash carrots or cucumbers, extract juice, add 4-6 drops of vitamin E oil and mix well).

Special care

Sore and tired eyes: wash your eyes with milk. Fold the gauze into small pieces, soak it completely in milk, and cover the eyelids with it for 20-30 minutes. This can enhance the vitality of the eye muscles and relieve fatigue.
