Any woman, looking in the mirror and seeing the first wrinkle, experiences a slight shock. Usually the very first wrinkles appear near the eyes, since the skin there is tender and thin. Today we will talk about how to choose a remedy for wrinkles around the eyes.
The skin around the eyes is the most conspicuous area, therefore it is impossible to avoid wrinkles. There are few supporting tissues and subcutaneous fat in this area. Since the muscles fit the eye cavity in the skull, they do not have a support and, therefore, are easily stretched. Around the eyes, the skin is dry, and the tender dermis is several times thinner than in other areas of the face. Moreover, the skin here is subjected to special stresses: constant blinking, mimic movements from joy and sadness, screwing up from the sun or short-sightedness. The first wrinkles can already appear after 18 years, and already in 25 - 26 years hardly noticeable can form a reticulum, called "goose paws". The cause of wrinkles on the skin is a decrease in the amount of collagen and elastin and a slowdown in production in the subcutaneous layer of hyaluronic acid.
It is in youth that the foundation of what a woman will look like in the future is laid. At this time, there are age-related changes: swelling, small wrinkles, swelling, dark circles. This is a natural process, due to the structure of the skin in this place. Although we can not change the structure of the skin, we can remove the signs of old age in the distant future.
Even at a young age, it is recommended to start using creams. They significantly slow down the formation of wrinkles. They are applied after washing 2 times a day. If you wear lenses or eyes have a tendency to swell, then it is better to use gels.
To check how fresh and elastic your skin is, approach the mirror, with the tips of two fingers grasp the skin, pull and release it. If the skin is instantly smoothed out - this is the perfect skin. If it is smoothed out slowly and gradually, intensive moistening is necessary. Therefore, light moisturizing creams should be used 2 times a day: morning and evening. If the skin for a few seconds remains drawn, and then slowly smoothed - then you need intensive care and special means.
Naturally, choosing a cream or gels around the eyes, you should pay attention not only to the skin type, but also to the age. For example, those who are already over 40 should give priority to drugs that contain concentrated substances that play an important role in the regeneration and renewal of collagen and elastin. These substances are able to fill the areas between the fibers and return the skin elasticity. For young skin, the means with extracts of fruits and plants with natural oils are intended. If you are already over 30, you can use not only creams and gels, but also masks for the skin around the eyes. After them, the skin is smoothed out, swelling and pigmentation disappear.
The most effective remedy for wrinkles is the renewal of the skin. The solution to the anti-aging problem lies in the ability to produce collagen. The skin should grow a new strong layer, which will look healthier and resist the appearance of wrinkles.
At any age, it is necessary to lubricate the skin with a nutritious cream or gel containing biologically active substances, essential oils, aloe extract, plant peptides. Creams and gels should be applied from the inner corner of the upper eyelid to the corner of the eye, only in circular motions, and then "beat" into the skin with fingertips. It is necessary to remove make-up before bedtime with special means.
Eye cream should meet certain requirements:
- contain a lower concentration of active ingredients than face cream, so as not to cause allergies;
- Do not be too sticky so that the skin does not stretch;
- Do not be too fat to avoid edema;
- PH of the cream should be the same as PH tears, so as not to irritate the eyes.
Means for the care of the skin around the eyes should be selected individually. Do not rely on someone, because the structure of the skin is different. Most often, wrinkles around the eyes are formed when the skin is dry. Therefore, you need to take care of moisturizing and buy a hypoallergenic cream, which is applied in the morning after cleansing the skin. In the daytime, you need to use a cream, which includes collagen, and apply it 2 times during the day. Before going to bed, you should apply a cream with sea-buckthorn oil to the skin around your eyes, and in combination with taking vitamins A and E the effect will be strengthened. It is advisable to use masks with red caviar or extracts from fish meat, but only 2 times a week.
If the skin is sensitive and prone to irritation, use gels without dyes and fragrances. For hygienic reasons, it is better to use the cream in tubes or in a package with a dispenser. If the cream is in a jar, then use a spatula, not a finger. This eliminates the entry of harmful bacteria into the cream and prolongs its shelf life.
A great way to prolong the youthfulness of the skin of the eyelids is washing with cold water and eye masks made of ice. Apply the cream and gel on the skin around the eyes carefully and gently, driving the pads of the fingers, unnecessarily stretching the skin. Remove make-up from the eyes of the best cotton swabs, moistened with special products based on vegetable oils. Decorative cosmetics are applied to the skin of the eyelids by gentle movements of the brush, without stretching the skin. In summer, it is necessary to additionally protect the skin of the eyes with creams containing ultraviolet filters. To avoid allergic reactions and habituation of the skin, it is necessary to change cosmetics every 4 months. Olive oil is very good for wrinkles. It is applied in the form of a compress, and then light eyelid massage and a zone under the eyes are done.
Remember, for the skin around the eyes there are no cheap masks and anti-aging creams, because they have complex in composition and therefore expensive components. Pay attention to the composition of creams. Assume that the drugs with tretinoin are very strong, but can lead to a change in the structure of the skin, and alpha hydroxy acids cause reddening of the skin. If you want to preserve the youthfulness of your skin, use creams containing retinol or pentapeptides.
How to choose a remedy for wrinkles around the eyes? No matter how far science has advanced, the impact of even the best quality wrinkle creams will be either insignificant or moderate. No wonder they say - it's better to prevent than treat. So do not skimp on good makeup, even if there are still no problems.
