What to do if wrinkles around eyes are severe

Many elderly people have wrinkles around their eyes. This is because the skin elasticity of people becomes poor as they age. Many young people also have serious wrinkles around their eyes. This is caused by some special reasons. It may be caused by excessive use of the eyes or makeup. In the face of serious wrinkles around the eyes, people need to take measures to regulate them. Here we will introduce what to do if the wrinkles around the eyes are serious?

Eye wrinkles

Eye wrinkles refer to the small fine lines and wrinkles formed when the eye skin is affected by the external environment, forming free radicals. The free radicals destroy the collagen and active substances in the normal cell membrane tissue and oxidize the cells.

Eye wrinkles are caused by the drying and thinning of the epidermal tissue, as well as the insufficient replenishment and thinning of collagen and elastic fibers in the dermis, which results in the loss of reticular support. In the process of daily skin care, you need to apply some eye care cream, anti-wrinkle cream or essence around the corners of the eyes frequently, and perform local massage for a certain period of time according to the thickness of the skin so that the nutrients in them can be absorbed by the skin around the eyes. Frequently pat the corners of the eyes with your palms to improve blood circulation around the corners of the eyes, enhance local metabolism, and delay skin aging.

Causes

Three main reasons for eye wrinkles:

1. The formation of eye wrinkles is mainly due to the drying and thinning of the epidermal tissue, and the insufficient replenishment of collagen and elastic fibers in the dermis, which leads to thinning and loss of reticular support. The skin loses its elasticity and no longer recovers after being squeezed, causing the skin to sag and form wrinkles. If the function of the sebaceous glands declines, sebum secretion decreases, the sebum film is not easy to form, and the moisture in the stratum corneum is easily lost, making the skin dry. For the eyes, which blink up to 10,000 times a day, fine lines are more likely to form. If the skin moves further downward, eye bags and sagging eyelids will occur, and the eyes will become canthus eyes.

2. Ultraviolet radiation can promote eye wrinkles. The ultraviolet rays in the sun are a catalyst for the aging of the skin around the eyes. They can directly lead to the dilation of blood vessels around the eyes, damage and weakening of collagen and elastin fibers, and uneven distribution of melanin. In addition, long-term exposure to a smoking environment will significantly deteriorate skin quality, accelerate the skin aging process, and cause wrinkles to appear earlier.

3. Habitual expressions contribute to personal, “character” wrinkles. People have seven emotions and six desires, happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy. These emotions will be expressed on the face, thereby pulling on the facial muscles. Long-term repetitive movements will cause the muscles to form permanent contraction, resulting in wrinkles, such as forehead wrinkles and frown lines. At the same time, sleeping posture will also affect the formation of wrinkles. Some people who sleep on their side will find that they have severe frown lines when they wake up early. This is caused by the gravity of the skin and the upward thrust of the pillow converging between the eyebrows. There is also taking naps at the desk, which causes wrinkles around the eyes and face.

Reduce wrinkles

Eye massage

Reduce wrinkles at the corners of the eyes (1 minute): Press the index and middle fingers on both sides of the eyes, slowly massage the skin on the sides of the eyes, and close your eyes at the same time. When your eyelids droop, slowly pull your fingers toward your ears, count from 1 to 5, and then let go. Repeat 6 times.

Stay hydrated

It is necessary to supply sufficient nutrients and replenish lost moisture, and choosing a suitable eye cream is also an important step. When applying eye cream, avoid smearing it randomly. The correct way is: first, put a little eye cream on your ring finger, use the ring finger of the other hand to spread the eye cream evenly, gently "print" it around the eyelids, and finally massage in a circular motion five to six times.

Bad habits

Such as: don't squint when looking at things, if you have myopia or astigmatism, you should wear glasses to correct your vision; don't blink deliberately often; don't ignore eyelid swelling, find out the cause and prescribe the right medicine; if you want to lose weight, you should do it gradually, because the skin does not have enough time to adapt to the reduction of body fat due to a sudden drop in weight, which can also cause wrinkles; don't pull the skin hard when applying or removing makeup; in a dry environment, you should replenish water in time, otherwise wrinkles will increase. To strengthen the skin around the eyes, you can do eye exercises frequently, such as opening your eyes as wide as possible for a few seconds; slowly close your eyes, and open them again when the upper and lower eyelids are about to touch. The movements should be gentle. Repeat five times in a row, several times a day.
