What signs can be used to determine how old a person is? Of course, by the eyes. The condition of the eyelids reveals age more than other manifestations. Over the years, they begin to sink and decrease, wrinkles appear on the skin, eyebrows droop, and eyelids droop. As surprising as it may be for many to hear, the cause of age-related changes is not at all stretched skin; the main culprits for sagging and drooping eyelids are the muscles of the eyes and forehead. Therefore, in order to restore a youthful look, you need to put your muscles in order, and exercises for the eyelids and skin around the eyes will help us with this.
Causes of wrinkles, drooping eyelids, sunken eyes and bruises under the eyes
It is generally accepted that with age, muscles weaken, losing their tone. In reality, everything happens the other way around. Age-related changes in the eyelids begin due to muscle hypertonicity.
A spasm often occurs in the orbicularis oculi muscle, causing it to decrease from above towards the inner corner, and from below towards the outer edge. Because of this, the skin that was previously stretched over the muscle becomes redundant and begins to sag.
Due to the habit of sleeping on the side, creases are formed that run from the outer corner of the eye to the nose.
Changing your sleeping position can correct this problem.
Due to the work of the temporal muscle, crow's feet are formed during squinting and laughing. Also, the reason for their appearance is the drying out of the temporal region of the bone structure with age, due to which the muscle narrows, adapting to the changes in the bone, and the skin folds into folds.
Due to poor lymphatic drainage in the body and deformation of bone and muscle structures, excess fluid begins to accumulate between the skin of the eyelids and the muscles. This is manifested by swelling of the upper eyelid, its overhang, and bags under the eyes.
Drooping of the upper eyelid is also associated with deformation of the orbicularis oculi, frontal and temporal muscles, since these muscles are interconnected.
Deformed muscles in the forehead point downward, causing the skin to sag over the eyes.
A spasmed temporalis muscle causes the skin to sag at the outer corner of the eye, and the skin under the inner part of the eyebrow begins to sag due to hypertonicity of the corrugator muscle.
Why do eyes become smaller, sunken and hollow with age?
Often, due to spasm and narrowing of the orbicularis oculi muscle, with age the eyelids become smaller in size and seem to sink in, their shape changes.
Let us note that such changes are associated, among other things, with psychological aging, when a person loses interest in life, stops looking at everything with wide open eyes, and his eyelids narrow.
When the eyes sink, a protrusion appears under the eyelid in the shape of a “step” - this phenomenon is called “deepening of the tear trough.” It is formed at the junction of the orbicularis eyelid muscle with other facial muscles. In this place, blood circulation deteriorates, and a pronounced darkening appears.
Since with age, most of the muscles on the face are in hypertonicity, the deformed lateral nasal muscle, the muscle that lifts the upper lip and the wing of the nose, increase the manifestations of the tear trough and bruises under the eyes due to the fact that the area of the lateral part of the nose becomes shorter, approaching century. Due to poor blood circulation, the amount of fatty tissue in this area increases, a bulge forms, and the eye appears more sunken.
A block of the orbicularis muscle and other muscles adjacent to it impedes blood circulation in the eye area and lymph outflow. The tissues receive poor nutrients and waste from stagnant lymph poisons them, the color and structure of the skin changes, it becomes thin with a blue tint.
How to tighten eyelids and enlarge eyes at home
As we have already understood, the main cause of eye aging is deformation of their muscles, as well as the forehead and temporal region. For this reason, lymph stagnation occurs and blood supply in this area deteriorates.
Therefore, in order to restore your eyes to their former youth, you need to put your muscles in order. Gymnastics for eyelids and eye rejuvenation will help us with this. We will use the techniques of the author's rejuvenation techniques: face-building, revitonics, cantienics, face-forming and face-fitness.

How to remove wrinkles around the eyes? This question worries many representatives of the fair sex, starting from almost a young age. Girls already in adolescence understand how important it is to take care of their face.
It’s great if you are a cheerful woman and smile often! But sometimes this can be accompanied by the appearance of such an unpleasant phenomenon as wrinkles around the eyes. Such a network of rays extending from the outer corner of the eye can occur in adolescence and subsequently worsen.
The skin around the eyes is especially susceptible to deformation. The layer of subcutaneous fat here is barely palpable. Systematic stretching of tissues, due to almost constant muscle contraction, only aggravates the situation. Lack of sleep and insufficient care have a negative impact on the condition of the skin around the eyes.
Try to sleep on your back to prevent wrinkles! The total duration of sleep should not be less than 8 hours.
When should you start fighting wrinkles?
This can be done both at home and in cosmetology centers. Dealing with the problem on your own is more difficult, but also possible.
Unwanted folds on the face can appear even with the right lifestyle. Premature aging can be promoted by unfavorable environmental factors or features of facial expressions.
Therefore, it is recommended to resort to conservative rejuvenation of the area around the eyes at the first appearance of problems.
The assortment of cosmoceutical stores and pharmacies now has plenty of products in the form of a variety of natural oils, vitamin products with extracts from medicinal plants, masks with fruit and vegetable extracts that can help cope with this task.

TOP 5 cosmetic injection procedures
Small expression wrinkles can be removed using more radical methods. Various ultra-modern techniques used in aesthetic centers make it possible to tighten flabby tissue almost without any discomfort and in a short time.
When choosing a method, the specialist will take into account such phenomena as:
- excessive dry skin;
- puffiness, blueness under the eyes, resulting from the fact that venous blood flow is reduced;
- wrinkles.
The most effective methods are considered to be:
- Mesotherapy is a cocktail of drugs that a cosmetologist selects individually. This formula is enriched with a vitamin complex, antioxidants with the addition of hyaluronan, which is injected under the skin with the finest needle.
- Biorevitalization is almost an analogue of mesotherapy, only the chemical formula includes hyaluronate to a greater extent.
- Introduction of fillers - hyaluronan gels with the addition of mineral elements. The saturation and formula of the fillers are determined by the doctor.
- Plasmolifting. The mechanism is similar to mesotherapy, but the tightening effect is achieved by introducing the patient’s plasma into the periorbital area. This is especially convenient if she may have allergic reactions to any medications.
- Botox. A salon procedure, which is allowed from 25-30 years of age, is botulinum therapy. Botox injections are not the best option, despite the noticeable quick effect. Unfortunately, the drug is addictive. The duration of the effect is significantly reduced in subsequent sessions.
Remember that Botox does not rejuvenate the skin, but only relaxes the facial muscles!
4 basic hardware procedures
This is the fight against wrinkles around the eyes using specialized equipment. The action of such techniques is aimed at stimulating the natural synthesis of fibrillar threads and accelerating the processes of rehabilitation in tissues.
The most popular manipulations:
- Photorejuvenation – improvement of metabolic processes in the epithelium, elimination of wrinkles in the area around the eyes. The result is achieved through exposure to light radiation.

- Laser rejuvenation is an improved method of skin resurfacing.
Expert opinion
Irina Dorofeeva
practicing cosmetologist
I can exclusively advise all girls to adhere to important rules. First, never forget to remove your makeup before going to bed. Secondly, from a young age you need to provide the skin with nutrition and moisturize it. There are a lot of suitable products on sale for this purpose. Remember that you need to apply the cream precisely. Thirdly, don’t forget about toning. To do this, you should use lotions and tonics. But even careful care cannot prevent age-related changes. To begin with, you can use home secrets, but when they are powerless, I advise you to use cosmetic procedures.
Sanas Kharirchyan
plastic surgeon
I advise you to take care of your skin from an early age, taking into account your skin type. But aging is an irreversible process. Good and regular care will improve the condition of the epithelium, but it will not be able to eliminate deep wrinkles and sagging skin. In this case, you should pay attention to injection and hardware procedures. Plastic surgery can also come to the rescue. Patients who want to remove wrinkles from the eye area undergo blepharoplasty. The operation will help you look 10-15 years younger.

Reviews
ALINA TERNOVSKAYA:
“Before the biorevitalization itself, the doctor applied an anesthetic cream for 10 minutes, and then gave an injection. I took it easily, like a mosquito bite. The effect is noticeable almost immediately, as soon as the injection marks have passed. That is, already in the first week the wrinkles around the eyes decreased.”
NATALIA STEPANOVA:
“I’m very afraid of plastic surgery and all these newfangled cosmetic procedures. That’s why my grandmother’s remedies always suited me. Ice, masks... Maybe because I don’t have a particular tendency towards wrinkles. I’m in my fifties, but no one is older than 35.”
VICTORIA CHERNOVA:
“I have trouble with wrinkles around my eyes. I dared to try Botox. At first I was wildly delighted, then the joy diminished. We have to resort to the services of cosmetologists more and more often. I'll soon go broke on beauty..."
INNA IVANCHENKO:
“I am very happy with kelp masks. The skin after each session is like new. And, in general, girls, you just need to systematically take care of yourself with love, and everything will be fine!”
TAISIA TIKHONOVA:
“I used fillers based on hyaluronic acid, which breaks down directly in the tissues; there is no need to remove it. I'm happy with everything except the price.”
REGINA VISHNEVSKAYA:
“Wrinkles around my eyes began to appear when I was 15. I immediately started using my mother’s cosmetics, probably in vain. The problems only got worse by the age of 30. On the advice of a friend, I tried Botox, but there was no noticeable effect either. But microcurrents helped. Now I can’t tear myself away from the mirror for hours, I look and can’t get enough of it.”
From the above, we can draw the following conclusion - in order not to suffer from wrinkles around the eyes, start taking care of yourself from a young age and choose cosmetics wisely. If there is no effect, injection and hardware methods of aesthetic cosmetology will always come to the rescue.
