Folk remedies against expression lines around the eyes

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.

The girl eats butter and honey, gets fatter and prettier

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 makes hair thicker, 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.

A folk remedy that is older than wrinkles is bread. It nourishes and does not irritate the skin around the eyes, saturates it with natural collagen. There is no need to talk about the benefits of fruits. Well? Shall we experiment?

Masks

1. Aloe juice (1 tbsp), sesame oil (1 tbsp), tocopherol oil solution (vitamin E, 5 drops). Mix, heat to 30-36 degrees, apply with fingertips, driving into the skin, for 20-30 minutes.
2. Mash a piece of banana, add butter or olive oil, and apply for 20 minutes.
3. Three raw potatoes on a fine grater, add cream to form a paste, apply for 20 minutes.
4. Soak white bread (pulp) in milk, apply the paste to the area around the eyes for 15 minutes. You can add olive oil.

Compresses

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.

Hardware methods

Modern cosmetology salons offer various techniques that quickly eliminate age-related changes around the eyes in the form of wrinkles. Moreover, the effect of them is noticeable immediately and remains for a long time.

Laser resurfacing

The skin is exposed to a laser beam. This procedure is carried out strictly on the cheekbones, the area around the eyes is not affected in any way, but wrinkles disappear. This method should be used in extreme cases and should be entrusted to an experienced specialist, since it injures tissue, which often leads to negative consequences.

Biorevitalization

This procedure involves replenishing nutrient deficiencies in tissues by introducing a vitamin cocktail. After the procedure, the skin becomes more youthful, and age-related wrinkles are smoothed out. Biorevitalization is carried out in two ways:

1. Laser. It is a more gentle method. A gel containing hyaluronic acid is applied to the skin, after which the laser is applied. At the end of the manipulation, no traces remain on the face, the maximum effect is visible after 7 sessions. To maintain the result, it is worth repeating the procedure at least once a month.
2. Injection. It involves the introduction of hyaluronic acid into the area around the eyes, where there are facial wrinkles, using a syringe or injector. The procedure takes about 30 minutes, after which papules remain on the face due to the insertion of a needle into the skin. They disappear on their own after a few days. The result is noticeable after 3-4 weeks. To maintain it, you need to repeat the manipulation twice a year.

Chemical peeling

The procedure involves treating the cheekbone area with special chemical compounds, but after it not only the condition of the skin improves, but also wrinkles disappear. There are several types of peeling, and the depth of impact can also vary. These indicators are determined by a cosmetologist depending on the woman’s age, skin condition and the depth of facial wrinkles around the eyes.

Photorejuvenation

This method is quite gentle, as it is not accompanied by any discomfort. Its essence lies in the fact that streams of pulsed light are sent to the facial skin, under the influence of which the epidermis begins to actively produce elastin and collagen. As a result, wrinkles disappear, and the skin becomes young and toned.

The result after the procedure is noticeable immediately and lasts for a long time. Before using this method, you should consult a cosmetologist, as it has a number of contraindications.

Botox injections

Botox injection is also actively used by women who want to get rid of wrinkles in the eye area. This drug contains a substance that paralyzes the muscles, as a result of which they relax, and the skin begins to recover and becomes more elastic and toned.

The procedure is painless and well tolerated by women of any age. However, after the needle is inserted, swelling and hyperemia may remain on the skin for several days. To maintain the result, it is recommended to repeat the procedure every 6 months.

Radio wave lifting

This procedure is also known as thermolifting. During the procedure, the problem areas are exposed to heat and cold waves, which bypass the epidermis and heat the deep tissues to a temperature of 39-55 degrees. As a result, a strong collagen framework is formed, and the skin is evened out, consequently, wrinkles resolve.

At the end of the procedure, biostimulation is performed, which helps to increase regeneration. This approach allows you to prevent the occurrence of age spots, hematomas, hyperemia and other cosmetic defects.

The real horror and cause of panic for a woman can be the appearance of the first facial wrinkles. The first of them can appear both at 20 and at 45 years. They occur first in women with active facial expressions, but their early appearance is influenced by several other important factors.

Before you start fighting expression lines, it is better to understand the cause of their origin. This is one of the first symptoms of skin aging. Therefore, the sooner the fight against the first skin irregularities is started, the greater the effect can be achieved.

Expression wrinkles: why they appear

Almost every woman faces the problem of the appearance of facial wrinkles around the eyes, especially if she has reached 40 years of age. The age at which they appear and the intensity of their manifestation depends on several factors.

1. Woman's skin type. Those with dry skin are more likely to develop wrinkles because they do not produce sebum as intensely. It dries faster and small wrinkles appear on it much earlier.
2. Wrinkles around the eyes appear more often and faster in women with active and intense facial expressions.
3. Loose and flabby skin is caused by a significant decrease in the production of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the condition of the skin and its tone.
4. Natural factors. Women's skin is very delicate, so it can quickly succumb to the influence of ultraviolet radiation and chapping.
5. An unbalanced diet and junk food worsen skin problems, including the appearance of early fine wrinkles.
6. Bad habits. Those who want to have ideal skin are advised to give up smoking, frequent alcohol consumption, adjust their daily routine, avoid overexertion, overwork and severe stress, and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
7. Poor quality and irregular care. This may include irregular care or selection of low-quality cosmetics or those that are not suitable for a given skin type.

Naturally, women always want to look fresh and attractive, and there is no need for extra wrinkles. Because of this, they are constantly looking for different ways to combat such manifestations.

For women who are not ready to make such “sacrifices” for the sake of beauty, there is another way out - to do anti-wrinkle treatments at home. It is often much cheaper, less traumatic for the skin, and the effect will be no worse than expensive cosmetic preparations.
