There comes a moment in everyone’s life when we notice the first signs of aging in the form of wrinkles on our face. Most often they concern the eye area, which is extremely sensitive and prone to the formation of furrows. This is why even women at the age of 25 have problems with wrinkles under the eyes. This is usually the result of insufficient or inadequate care. How to prevent crow’s feet and how to fight them?
Unfortunately, everyday life is not conducive to maintaining firm skin. The poor condition of the skin around the eyes is usually caused by:
- insufficient sleep,
- inadequate nutrition,
- Spending time at the computer or in a poorly lit room,
- Fatigue, stress,
- Inappropriate makeup removal.
How to prevent wrinkles?
If your face is only showing the first signs of aging, or you just want to start counteracting this problem before it starts to affect you, all you need to do is follow a few important rules.
- Proper care. Both at night and during the day. The skin around the eyes is extremely delicate. The most common mistake is skipping makeup removal before going to bed. In this way, we will quickly get wrinkles – the skin will not be able to regenerate, it cannot breathe. Use make-up removers, but do it in the right way – put a cotton pad to the eye and hold it until the eyeliner, shadow and mascara dissolve. Then gently remove the rest of the liquid by moving the cotton pad towards the corner of the eye. Do not rub the skin under any circumstances!
- Take care of your skin every day. Do not expose your eyes to solar radiation, as it damages the structure of the skin. Give up the solarium, in the summer use creams with filters and wear sunglasses. Before going to bed, nourish your skin with eye creams.
- Be careful with makeup. Avoid excessive rubbing, protect the eye skin with a base or cream so that the cosmetic does not react directly with the skin (especially with foundations that can clog).
How to eliminate existing furrows?
When the signs of aging are clearly visible, you need to act towards their elimination. It is not the simplest, but there are proven ways to support the fight for smooth skin around the eyes.
- Take care of your diet. The right amount of adipose tissue affects the elasticity of the skin, so supplement your menu with omega-3 fatty acids that help to reduce the depth of wrinkles.
- Use collagen. Collagen preparations will help to replenish this ingredient in the skin. Also supplement vitamin C, which will protect against harmful radiation and reduce skin problems.
- Sleep on your back. Lying on your stomach, you rest your body against the skin of your face, which can deepen wrinkles.
- Don’t scrub your face. Washing and wiping your face too thoroughly can cause it to dry out. Keep your skin hydrated.
- massage. A gentle facial massage using coconut oil every night before going to bed will also help. For better results, you can combine it with vitamin E.
