How to diminish wrinkles and expression lines around the eyes?

Wrinkles occur in the dermis of the skin. This layer is made up of elastin and collagen fibers. As we age, these fibers begin to loosen, leading to wrinkles and fine lines.

CAUSES OF THE APPEARANCE OF EXPRESSION LINES

Aging is one of the most common causes of the appearance of wrinkles and expression lines, but there are other factors such as your lifestyle that greatly influence the appearance of this area.

Age is also one of the factors that can be determinant when this type of wrinkles appear.They first appear when collagen and elastin decrease in this area and the skin becomes thinner and loses its ability to recover.

Main factors that can accelerate the aging process in the eye contour area are:

• UVB light from the sun or tanning booths: The sun directly or indirectly affects this area as the skin is very thin and tends to be very sensitive.
• Hereditary: believe it or not, if your family has a tendency to generate a lot of wrinkles and eye bags around the eye contour area, you are most likely to have them too.
• Cigarette: smoking accelerates the normal aging process of the skin, which contributes to the formation of wrinkles, crow’s feet and puffiness under the eyes.
• Repetitive movements such as smiling, frowning or even the position in which you sleep: some movements such as frowning, smiling a lot and gesticulating can eventually produce wrinkles in the face around the eye contour, nasolabial folds, forehead and mouth.
• Free radicals such as pollution, toxic air and climate: free radicals attack collagen and elastin, generating a loss of elasticity and firmness, which leads to the appearance of wrinkles and expression lines. Factors such as climate are very important when it comes to protecting your skin, since cold or excess of tanning can generate changes in our dermis, making it drier or more oily.

HOW TO AVOID EXPRESSION LINES AROUND THE EYES?
