Traditional recipes for wrinkles around the eyes

We all experience the appearance of wrinkles sooner or later. The most vulnerable part for their occurrence is the area around the eyes, since the skin there is very thin and delicate. During the day, this area is subject to a lot of stress due to laughing, squinting, blinking, etc. In addition, lack of sleep, an unhealthy lifestyle and daily exposure to cosmetics lead to early signs of skin aging, particularly wrinkles around the eyes. Using traditional medicine recipes, you can eliminate wrinkles around the eyes or make them less noticeable.

Causes of wrinkles around the eyes.
The early appearance of wrinkles around the eye area does not at all indicate aging of the body. Withering of the skin in this area can be associated with many reasons, in particular: inattention to oneself, improper care and the use of low-quality cosmetics. All this in combination can provoke the appearance of wrinkles as early as 22-25 years old.

The delicate skin around the eyes requires special careful and regular care, since a lack of moisture leads to dry skin, aging, loss of elasticity and firmness, and as a result, early wrinkles. Excessive facial expressions, poor nutrition, and stress also adversely affect the condition of the skin around the eyes, which leads to early wrinkles.

The so-called “crow's feet” around the eyes are very difficult to disguise with any means of decorative cosmetics (concealers, etc.), they only make them more noticeable. Therefore, the solution in this situation is the use of natural cosmetics and folk remedies, as well as active prevention of wrinkles from the age of twenty.

How to remove wrinkles around the eyes - moisturizing.
Folk remedies based on herbal supplements are excellent helpers in skin care. Among them, aloe and essential oils have active moisturizing properties. Aloe, for example, is excellent at combating dry skin in the sensitive area around the eyes. To eliminate wrinkles, it is recommended to apply the juice of this plant to the area around the eyes every night at night, avoiding contact with the mucous membrane. If you don’t have this plant at home, you can purchase it ready-made in the form of a gel, which will contain at least 98% of the juice of this medicinal flower, and use it in the same way.

According to traditional medicine recipes, essential oils of peach, almond and apricot serve as excellent moisturizers that fight wrinkles around the eyes. A few drops of any of the listed oils should be driven into the area under the eyes, as if with the pads of your fingers. By the way, you can use natural butter in the same way. It perfectly smooths out crow's feet.

A wonderful method of combating such wrinkles is a homemade cream that you can make yourself. It is necessary to mix a tablespoon of vitamin E oil solution with the same amount of cocoa butter and sea buckthorn oil. This nourishing cream must be applied in a thick layer to the upper and lower eyelids, secured on top in the area of ​​the outer corner of the eyes with small pieces of parchment paper. Leave this mask on for fifteen minutes, after which soak the remaining cream with a napkin. There is no way to rub it. You need to make this mask twice a week, preferably two hours before bedtime.

Olive oil is also good for getting rid of wrinkles around the eyes. It is used as a compress, after which you need to lightly massage the skin of the eyelids and the area under the eyes. This herbal product is also effective when added to various masks. In particular, “drive” a mixture of 50 ml of oil and 10 ml of vitamin E oil solution into the area around the eyes with lightly patting movements with the pads of your fingers. After this, you need to wait about five minutes and remove the remaining mixture by blotting with a napkin. This mask can be done every day, preferably at night. To prevent the appearance of wrinkles, it is effective to use a mixture of olive oil with a few drops of lemon juice in the form of a mask. Apply the mixture to the skin and leave for ten minutes, after which blot off any remaining residue with a paper towel.

Masks for wrinkles around the eyes - folk remedies.
Nourishing and moisturizing masks are the main weapon against wrinkles around the eyes!

The simplest and fastest mask to prepare is the following: grind the crumb of wheat bread in slightly warmed milk and apply evenly to the skin around the eyes. Leave the mask on for fifteen minutes, then rinse your face with warm water.

Due to its unique properties, honey is a useful ingredient in cosmetic masks. Mix a tablespoon of wheat flour, add a tablespoon of honey melted in a water bath, and the beaten white of one egg. Distribute the resulting mass, while warm, in an even layer over the area around the eyes. Once the mask has completely cooled and dried, you should wash with warm water. In this recipe, instead of wheat flour, it is also good to use oatmeal, but the time for applying the mask will be about half an hour.

Mix a lot of peeled and chopped raw potatoes with a small amount of high-fat cream and apply to the area under the eyes. After fifteen minutes, wash off the mask. At the same time, compresses in the form of cotton pads dipped in strong tea can be applied to the upper eyelids.

Cosmetic ice is also effective in caring for the delicate skin around the eyes. Its use increases blood circulation, resulting in the skin receiving more nutrition and moisture, which increases its elasticity and tone. To make ice, both ordinary drinking water and a decoction or infusion of medicinal plants are suitable. Pour water or medicinal infusion (for example, parsley, chamomile, calendula, etc.) into special ice cube trays and freeze in the freezer. A mixture of milk and water, taken in equal proportions, is also suitable for making ice. Lightly rub the skin around the eyes with an ice cube in the morning and evening.

Milk compresses are also famous for their positive effects on the skin. It is necessary to apply cotton pads, previously soaked in boiled milk, to the eyelids and leave for five minutes. After this time, repeat the procedure, but use other disks. Do this three times in a row, then wash with warm water and apply a cream specially designed for this to the area around the eyes.

Grind three medium-sized strawberries with a teaspoon of honey. Wrap the resulting mass in gauze and apply to the eyelids. Leave this mask on for at least twenty minutes, then wipe the skin with a cotton pad soaked in milk.

After twenty minutes, rinse the mask with warm water, and then apply a specially designed cream to the skin.

Mix the egg yolk with the juice of half a lemon, pre-chopped zest, and a teaspoon of olive oil (almond oil is fine). Apply the resulting mass to the area around the eyes and leave for half an hour, then soak cotton pads in cool milk and remove the mask.

Spinach is truly a rejuvenating plant. Thanks to its antioxidant properties, adding it to cosmetic masks not only eliminates fine wrinkles, but also smoothes out deep ones, and also prevents the appearance of new ones. To prepare such a mask, you need to chop and squeeze the juice from two spinach leaves. Take a teaspoon of the resulting juice and add to it 10 g of vitamin A oil solution, as well as a teaspoon of your regular cream or gel for the eyelids and skin around the eyes. Apply the mask to the skin and then remove it using cotton pads soaked in cold boiled milk.

Then strain the infusion, take two tablespoons of the infusion, add a tablespoon of butter and a teaspoon of castor oil. Mix thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is formed, which can be used as a cream before bed. This cream should be kept in the refrigerator for no more than five days. Then make a new batch.

The following lotions or compresses help perfectly against crow's feet: pour dill seeds or chamomile, or sage, or parsley into a gauze bag and dip in hot milk or water for a few minutes. Then remove, cool and apply warm to the eyelids and area around the eyes. After fifteen minutes, wash with warm water. Such compresses help eliminate wrinkles and eliminate swelling.

Place in a water bath for twenty minutes, then cool and strain the broth. Soak cosmetic discs in this decoction and apply on eyelids for fifteen minutes; no need to rinse off.

There are a huge number of folk recipes for caring for the skin around the eyes. I have given only a small part. If you are not lazy, you can achieve wonderful results.

Prevention of wrinkles around the eyes.
To delay the appearance of wrinkles, you need to learn how to properly care for your skin, and you need to start doing this as early as possible. In particular, you should start caring for your eyelid skin from the age of twenty. In care you should use only high-quality care complexes and decorative cosmetics. Moreover, when choosing cosmetics for the skin around the eyes, you should focus not on skin type, but on age. For mature skin, concentrated preparations are recommended based on active substances that accelerate skin regeneration, the production of collagen and elastin, and normalize the content of lipids and glycans (what fills the space between collagen fibers). And for young skin you can only use cosmetics with plant and fruit extracts.

You should not neglect folk remedies, because they serve as excellent prevention of wrinkles, thanks to natural ingredients.

It is very important to pay attention to your facial expressions, because squinting is often one of the main reasons for the early appearance of wrinkles around the eyes, since regular exercise contributes to faster wear of collagen fibers. Forget about rubbing your eyes! This childhood habit should be eliminated as quickly as possible, just like propping your face with your fist.

A nutritious and balanced diet plays an important role in the health and preservation of youthful skin. Over the years, the natural process of collagen production decreases significantly. Replenishment of its losses must occur through chemicals entering the body with food. Include more vegetables in your diet that contain carotene (carrots, spinach), eat more fruits, especially red ones, drink natural fruit and vegetable juices (carrots).

To prevent wrinkles around the eyes, it is advisable to wear high-quality sunglasses when in the open sun, regardless of the time of year. If you are nearsighted, it is worth purchasing contact lenses or glasses.

In order to increase blood circulation, it is recommended to self-massage the area around the eyes daily with light patting movements. It must be carried out after morning cosmetic procedures and application of cream. All movements must be performed strictly along the massage lines with the pads of the third and fourth fingers. If you already have deep wrinkles, then in addition to self-massage, once a week you need to get a massage in a beauty salon.

It is effective to use homemade anti-wrinkle cream based on camphor oil. To prepare it, mix 50 ml of unsalted fat (lard), previously melted in a water bath, with the same amount of camphor oil and pour into a jar. Use this cream twice a week at night.

Wrinkles around the eyes very often appear due to the incorrect position of our head during sleep. You should not use a pillow that is too high for sleeping, as it disrupts the venous outflow in the skin of the eyelids and contributes to the appearance of bags. Sleeping on your stomach with your face buried in the pillow is a very bad habit. Sleeping in this position leads to the early appearance of crow's feet. It is best to use a bolster or a flat pillow for sleeping, and the position should be either on your back or on your side.

Very important too. So that your sleep is complete. That is, you and I need at least eight hours to feel normal. The room in which you sleep must be well ventilated. In addition, it is desirable that there are no sources of electromagnetic radiation (computer, cell phone, TV, etc.). Chronic lack of sleep negatively affects the condition of the skin around the eyes.

Useful tips for maintaining youthful skin around the eyes.

1. For washing, use only cool, clean drinking water; you can use melt water (not from the tap or boiled!). This water will improve blood circulation. You can use cosmetic ice.
2. The cream should be applied to the area around the eyes in small portions, distributing it in dotted strokes using the pads of the ring fingers (since the ring fingers are less developed, they will not be able to deform the skin).
3. You should apply nourishing creams or gels in the morning, and cosmetics with a lifting effect in the evening. Otherwise, you may get severe swelling.
4. Never use face cream on your eyelids.
5. Be sure to use skincare products with a sun protection factor.
6. Cosmetics should be changed every three to four months to avoid addiction or allergic reactions.
7. In winter and autumn, you should take multivitamin complexes.
8. Walk more in the fresh air and lead an active lifestyle.

Beauty and youth of the skin are the result of regular and thorough care. Therefore, learn to take care of yourself and your skin as early as possible in order to prolong its youth and blooming appearance.

Good day to all! They say that the expression lines surrounding our eyes are a symbol of wisdom. With these words, I can see the old herbalist teaching wisdom to Ivan, who was lost in the forest. And somehow the prospect of being like her doesn’t appeal to me...

Who agrees with me? I think the majority, not only women, but also men. In that case, follow me! On this occasion, I decided to post today my best recipes for wrinkles around the eyes.

But not all at once! First, let's figure out what expression wrinkles are and how they arise.

Where does everything come from?

The skin around the eyes has a special structure - and we know this very well, since we buy different creams for the face and eyelids. It is generally accepted that the skin around the eyes is ten times thinner than the epidermis of the body. And, of course, it dries much faster and is more susceptible to adverse factors. Especially now, in winter.

When we squint, smile, we see how mobile facial expressions are in the eye area: it’s not for nothing that they are called the mirror of the soul. That's why these wrinkles are called mimic wrinkles. So what now - freeze your face like a mask of the Japanese Kabuki theater and try to avoid any external manifestations of emotions? Well, of course not. But you also need to take care of the “frame for the mirror of the soul” accordingly.

Important! In sunny weather, to reduce squinting, use sunglasses, and do not expose the skin around your eyes to strong winds or cold.

Low-quality cheap cosmetics are completely excluded - they dry and spoil the skin, deprive its cells of necessary nutrition, and the result is the ubiquitous “crow’s feet”.

And, of course, the reason for the appearance of “wisdom wrinkles” is a woman’s age, or more precisely, her hormonal status. If you take care of yourself, cleanse your body and eat right, spend time in the fresh air every day, and even better with physical activity, then you will feel better and look younger. And the hormones in your body are produced as if you were a couple of years younger - and this is a serious objection to wrinkles.

How to warn

My dears, these are again common truths... And I never tire of reminding you of them:

1. Normal sleep
2. No stress
3. Using only high-quality cosmetics
4. Cleansing, nourishing, moisturizing the skin around the eyes twice a day
5. Reading only in good lighting without straining the eyes
6. Massage
7. Gymnastics for the eyes
8. A complete diet (it must include foods containing protein)
9. Physical activity (within reasonable limits)

Just please, do at least half of this! Honestly, your “wisdom” will come a-a-a-lot later. If you question my authority in this area, I suggest you watch the video. Experts have their say here:

Well, if “the train has left” and all the beauty is already with you, we will make up for lost time, although no one has canceled the above requirements for you.

Temper yourself if you want to be healthy

To get fewer colds, what should you do? That's right, toughen up. We will do the same with the skin around the eyes: it is thin, delicate, afraid of dryness, wind, frost. And we treat her with ice! Yes, not simple, but cosmetic.

I read that Russian beauties, when snow fell, considered it their first duty to wash themselves with the first snow, and even from a silver bucket - and they retained their beauty until old age.

Why? Yes, because the touch of scalding cold snow causes the blood vessels to sharply contract. And then, when the cold was removed from your face, you unclench. This is a kind of gymnastics for blood vessels. Blood circulation improves, and, therefore, skin nutrition. It becomes elastic, elastic, swelling and dark circles go away.

What if the ice is not just plain ice, but with a decoction of parsley, which has been considered the best remedy for “crow’s feet” from time immemorial? Then the absorption of the active ingredients of parsley increases and wrinkles disappear and are smoothed out.

And now - attention! - secrets of making magic ice.

Parsley - fighting crow's feet and whitening

Let's take a couple of bunches of parsley and tear off the leaves from the stems: we won't need the stems. Chop the greens, pour in two glasses of boiling water and boil for 10-15 minutes. Remove, wrap in a towel and place in a warm place for a couple of hours. Strain the cooled broth and pour into ice trays. After half an hour in the freezer we have the best folk remedy for crow’s feet.

We use ice only once a day, in the morning (in winter, an hour before going outside!). But if urgent rehabilitation measures are required, you can take the magic cube out of the freezer at any time and in a few seconds refresh your face, smooth out the skin around the eyes and give it elasticity and radiance.

Linden and flax - folk recipes for shallow wrinkles

Infusions of linden flowers and flax seeds have a slimy consistency. Due to this, they nourish the skin well and protect against drying out.

For infusion, take 1 tbsp per glass of boiling water. spoon of linden blossom (or flax seed). Pour in, cover with a lid, keep warm. Has it cooled down? We filter, pour into molds - and forward, towards beauty.

Well, if the wrinkles around the eyes are deep, oatmeal ice will help us.

Oatmeal ice – a revitalizer for tired skin

For two tablespoons of oatmeal - a glass of hot milk. Pour in and keep warm. The cooled milk from oatmeal becomes so thick that it almost stretches. But we will still be able to strain it! Strained, poured into molds, and froze. We wipe our face and leave this mask on for 10 minutes, trying not to wince, squint, or grimace. The mask will tighten the face, and even deep “paws” will smooth out.

A contraindication for the use of ice is vascular diseases (rosacea). You can learn more about cryotherapy from this article.

This is what they wrote in a Russian folk tale that I read as a child. I remember that for a long time I tried to understand how such a diet could make me look better. But the fairy tale is a lie, and there is a hint in it.

Any oil is incredibly beneficial for the skin due to the abundance of vitamins A and E in it. But not all of them are suitable for caring for the most delicate skin.

Castor oil is best known. It thickens hair, improves the structure of eyebrows and eyelashes, but most importantly, it has the unique property of smoothing out facial wrinkles surrounding the eyes. It is included in makeup removers; in general, castor oil is ideal for the face.

Jojoba oil is considered an elixir of beauty and youth; it contains a lot of vitamin E, which revives dry, aging skin. Wheat germ oil contains a number of B vitamins and is a powerful antioxidant.

Other oils that are great for aging skin include:

1. avocado,
2. peach,
3. coconut,
4. almond oil,
5. grape seed oil,
6. Shea Butter.

And sesame oil is considered the best. Mixed with wheat germ oil, it eliminates wrinkles in a few days - or rather, nights, because it is applied before bed.

Advice: be careful! If you have an individual intolerance, you risk waking up with slits instead of eyes.

Mask, compress, cream

Aloe is very beneficial for the skin around the eyes. The juice of this wonderful home plant heals wounds, relieves swelling and eliminates fine wrinkles. If you wipe the skin around your eyes daily, “paws” will form much more slowly.

Hot homemade compresses soaked in herbal decoctions or oils refresh the skin around the eyes well. They activate blood circulation and improve skin nutrition. You can make them with water, tea, potato juice, natural and essential oils. The main thing is the temperature of the compress: about 40 degrees.

And preparing it couldn’t be easier. We heat the oil or other prepared product in a water bath, dip cotton swabs in it - and lie down to look good. They recommend keeping this compress on for as long as 40 minutes, but I don’t have enough patience, I give up after 15 – and so good. Such compresses must be done over a two-week course, every day, only then will it be effective.

We will prepare our own cream for the skin around the eyes. For its base, wax and lanolin are used, which are melted in a water bath in a ratio of 1:3. After removing from heat, add vegetable oil (peach, jojoba, almond, coconut oil, sesame) in an amount of 4 ml and carefully pour in and stir in 6 ml of hot water (an herbal decoction is even better!). Stir until smooth, cool, and store in the refrigerator. If you are interested in the topic of homemade anti-wrinkle creams, follow the link.

We apply it correctly

How to apply eye cream correctly? We do not press or stretch the skin under any circumstances. To ensure that the product is better absorbed, we “drive” it into the skin with your fingertips.

Movements when applying the cream should be directed on the lower eyelid from the outer corner of the eye to the inner. At the top, the direction changes: from internal to external. Movements should be light, pressure should be pointed. It is recommended to apply the cream with the pad of your ring finger: the pressing force is optimal for delicate skin.

And, of course, we remember that any product is applied to cleansed skin.
