Overview

Because of its fragility, the skin under the eyes tends to develop lines and wrinkles rather than the skin of the body. This tends to be because our skin around our eyes is thinner, and as it gets thinner with age, there is a loss of collagen, and this is the area where our eyes first sag. The skin under our eyes is also thinner and does not produce as much oil as the rest of our face, so it is more susceptible to dryness and wrinkles and fine lines.

What causes fine lines under the eyes?

The most common cause of fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes is simply aging. But other common contributing factors may be possible to avoid:

UV radiation

UV rays, which are present in sunlight, make the skin around the eyes dehydrated and damaged. UV rays also play a role in the development of skin cancer, and UVA rays are responsible for premature skin aging, including fine lines and wrinkles under eyes. UV exposure has been shown to age the skin and contribute to deep wrinkles around the eye. 

Smoking

Smoke causes blood vessels in the outer layers of the skin to narrow, reducing blood flow and depriving the eyes and skin of the moisture and nutrients they need. As the skin thins with age, blood vessels in the skin become more visible, making the increased screen time even more stressful for your eyes. Blood vessels around the eyes enlarge leading to dark circles around the eyes, which is one of the most common causes of dark circles. Their blood vessels narrow due to the restriction of blood and oxygen flow in the body, which affects the skin and creates wrinkles under the eyes.

Dehydrated skin

Dehydrated skin means that your skin is lacking water. It can be dry and itchy and perhaps dull looking, too. Your overall tone and complexion may appear uneven, and fine lines are more noticeably. Skin often feels tight and flaky, while fine lines look more pronounced, particularly around the eyes.

How to help get rid of lines under the eyes?  

Certain home remedies and skin care products can reduce the appearance of the fine lines under the eyes:

1- Apply hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is an ingredient used in the composition of many anti-aging creams and serums (HiSqin cream and HiSqin serum), and can also be found naturally in the skin. Its unique structure allows it to retain water and thus preserve the skin's hydration. 

The body contains what it needs of hyaluronic acid, which gives a fresh and young skin. From the age of 25, the body's acid reserves begin to diminish and the first wrinkles appear, and signs of consumption and damage begin to appear on the joints.

2- Avoid smoking

Smoking generally accelerates the aging process of your skin. It contributes to more wrinkles. If a person has been smoking for about ten years, then you may start to notice wrinkles under the eyes clearly. These are caused by the nicotine content that constricts the blood vessels in the outer layers of the skin. This reduces blood flow and causes the skin to receive less oxygen, thus reducing the nutrients and vitamins needed to maintain the quality of your skin. Over time, these symptoms begin to appear as wrinkles and fine lines under eyes.

3- Eat large amounts of vitamin C

It is found in many foods such as oranges, berries, grapefruit, pineapple, broccoli, peppers, spinach and kale, as vitamin C promotes collagen production and fights free radicals and foods rich in omega-3 acids also help preserve the youthfulness of the skin.

4- Get enough sleep

Lack of sleep at night causes the production of a high percentage of the hormone cortisol, which exposes the skin to skin problems and the appearance of wrinkles, as adequate sleep helps produce growth hormone, which promotes health and health. Youthfulness of the skin.

How to decrease lines under the eyes?

If you are looking for a more intensive method to remove fine lines and wrinkles, Botox or fillers are invasive cosmetic treatments that are administered as injections to reduce the appearance of these lines under the eyes and other areas of the face. Chemical peels and laser resurfacing can also be used to treat the smallest eye wrinkles on the skin under the top layer. Lower lid blepharoplasty removes excess skin, resulting in smoother, firmer skin around the eyes.

Chemical peels not only treat deep wrinkles and firm sagging skin but also reduce the appearance of fine lines under the eyes. Fillers are skin fillers that are injected into the skin around the eyes to plump up the appearance of the face. They are one of the most effective ways to correct eye lines and wrinkles and can give you instant results.

Takeaway

There is nothing wrong with getting wrinkles or fine lines around the eyes. Skin care products, protection against UV rays and a healthy lifestyle can help to avoid fine lines and reduce their appearance, but you will not be able to completely avoid them. Make an appointment with a doctor or dermatologist if you feel that your fine lines are problematic.
