Causes of Eye Wrinkles
Like other wrinkles, the causes of eye wrinkles can be attributed to Genetic Aging, Hormonal Aging and Environmental Aging. From a Genetic Aging and Hormonal Aging standpoint, the natural aging process and the reduction of estrogen that happens during the years leading up to menopause affect collagen production and elastin strength in the skin. Collagen is what gives skin its firmness and suppleness, and as it declines the skin begins to sag and wrinkles develop and deepen. Elastin is what causes your skin to “spring” back into place from a wrinkled or furrowed state. As it weakens, temporary creases in the skin, such as those that occur with repetitive face movements, become permanent. This is particularly true with crow’s feet in the corners of the eyes. From an Environmental Aging perspective, many people forget to protect the skin around their eyes from UV damage. Over time, sun exposure impacts collagen and elastin production and causes dehydration and pigmentation changes that result in older-looking eyes.
The area of skin around the eyes is less equipped to combat these signs of aging because it doesn’t contain oil-producing glands like the rest of the skin on your face does. Therefore, dehydration and a loss of skin firmness can become visible around the eyes many years before the rest of your face begins to show the signs of aging and wrinkles.
Preventing Eye Wrinkles
Information is half of the battle, and knowing that the skin around your eyes is particularly susceptible to fine lines and wrinkles means that you can take preventive steps to help diminish and delay the appearance of eye area wrinkles. What are the best ways to prevent eye wrinkles? Here are some important tips.
When you’re not going out into UV rays, use a more intensive anti-aging eye cream at night. You’ll be able to take advantage of your body’s natural restorative cycle, hydrate the skin around your eyes and deliver ingredients designed to minimize the signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles. Look for eye creams that include antioxidants or Retinol, as well as deeply hydrating eye creams.Use an Inclusive Health® Approach: Finally, as with any anti wrinkle skin care plan, be sure that you are nourishing your skin from the inside and making lifestyle choices that support healthy skin. Eat a diet rich in antioxidants, like those found in fresh fruits and vegetables; eat your water daily to stay hydrated; reduce Cultural Stress; get enough sleep; and minimize your exposure to toxins and pollutants. While no anti aging regimen will give you wrinkle-free eyes, following these steps will help you have healthy, younger-looking skin all over!
