Video: skin care around the eyes

The skin of the face is constantly exposed to external factors. At the same time, it is sensitive and thin, especially the area around the eyes, and due to its physiological structure, it is most prone to drying out. Therefore, the first age-related changes appear here. And if you don't moisturize the skin around your eyes, early wrinkles cannot be avoided.

Why does the skin around the eyes become dry?

In fact, there are many reasons for dry skin in the eye area and they are caused by external and internal factors.

1. There are practically no sebaceous glands and muscles under the skin of the eyelids. The loose structure of fatty tissue and lack of muscle activity are the cause of metabolic disorders. Because of this, either excessive accumulation of fluid or, on the contrary, excessive drying is constantly observed under the eyes. Without water “replenishment”, the skin becomes thinner, peels and deforms.
   
   
   
   
2. An imbalance in water levels can be caused by insufficient fluid intake or improperly organized nutrition.
3. Eye fatigue and sleep disturbances also negatively affect the condition of the skin. After all, even without this, it is subject to tension; while a person is awake, the eyelids are constantly in motion: facial expressions, blinking, squinting.
4. In addition, dry skin can signal serious disorders in the body: diseases of the eyes, kidneys, endocrine and digestive systems, stress.

If anatomical features and climate are almost impossible to resist, and it is quite difficult to eliminate diseases on your own, then a number of external causes are created by a person himself. Moreover, these factors most often provoke the appearance of dry skin around the eyes:

1. Insufficient or improper care
   
   
   
   
2. Wrong washing
3. Excessive use of decorative cosmetics
4. Low quality makeup products

How to prevent dry skin around the eyes, how to properly care for them

In other cases, when the reasons are not so serious, it is enough to follow simple rules:

1. Regular moisturizing of the skin with creams containing vitamins E and A
2. Careful and timely removal of makeup, especially from the eyelids and eyes.
   
   
   
   
3. Avoid soap when washing your face
4. Cleansing toners and lotions should contain natural ingredients without lanolin, which causes even more dryness and redness.
5. Give preference to homemade masks and compresses that are easy to make and do not contain chemical ingredients
6. When applying face masks, you must avoid getting the composition on the area around the eyes.
7. Constant protection of the eyes and skin around them from ultraviolet radiation (glasses with dark lenses and creams with filters)
8. Compliance with drinking regime. It is necessary to consume at least 2000 ml of liquid daily.
9. Timely rest for the eyes, avoiding their overload under the influence of a TV screen or computer
10. Organization of a healthy diet, exclusion of spicy, salty foods, alcohol.

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.

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.

4. Never use face cream on your eyelids.
