Under eye wrinkles are a normal and inevitable part of ageing. Fortunately, a skincare routine enriched with key ingredients can help to reduce their appearance. We explain how to get rid of wrinkles under the eyes and introduce you to our best eye cream for fine lines.
WHAT CAUSES UNDER EYE WRINKLES?
As we age, the delicate skin around the eyes naturally grows thinner and loses elasticity, resulting in under eye wrinkles.
These fine lines are triggered by environmental factors, like sun damage, pollution and free radicals; lifestyle choices, such as smoking, poor diet and insufficient sleep; and biological aging, includingdepleting levels of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid in the skin.
TYPES OF WRINKLES UNDER THE EYE
Dynamic linesare wrinkles caused by muscle contraction, often visible when laughing or squinting. Over time, these wrinkles deepen into static lines and remain present even when muscles are not contracted.
HOW TO PREVENT UNDER EYE WRINKLES
Without invasive methods, it is near impossible to get rid of all wrinkles under the eyes, but with lifestyle changes and an anti-ageing skincare routine, it is possible to reduce their depth and slow the appearance of new ones.
- Implement an anti-ageing skincare routine to keep skin hydrated, protected and younger-looking.
- Apply SPF daily, as over-exposure to the sun’s UV rays can result in premature ageing, wrinkling, loss of elasticity, and dark circles.
- Drink plenty of water to hydrate skin from the inside out.
- Sleep well for 7-9 hours a night to support the skin’s natural overnight renewal process.
- Opt for a silk pillowcase to help prevent facial creasing while sleeping.
- Wear sunglasses when outdoors to avoid squinting, a facial expression that deepens eye wrinkles.
