Types of wrinkles under the eyes

The following is a description of the characteristics of wrinkles under the eyes, by type.

Fine wrinkles (epidermal wrinkles)

The "fine wrinkles" under the eyes are also called "dry wrinkles" or "crepe wrinkles.

The main cause is "dryness.It is. Lack of moisture in the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin, causes loss of elasticity and the formation of shallow wrinkles on the surface. The area around the eyes is said to be the first to show signs of aging, and fine lines and wrinkles can be seen even in young people.

If taken care of early, recovery can be expected, but if it continues for a long time, it tends to become a deep wrinkle.

fine lines and wrinkles

Expression wrinkles, as the name implies, are wrinkles formed by the movement of the facial muscles used to make facial expressions. The wrinkles at the corners of the eyes are also called "laugh lines.

The cause is repetition of the same facial expressions, such as facial habits. Wrinkles form when the same areas of skin are repeatedly folded, and tend to become deeper and more prominent with age.

Deep wrinkles (dermal wrinkles)

Deep wrinkles are deeply etched wrinkles, unlike shallow fine lines on the surface of the skin. Unlike expression wrinkles, which appear only when a facial expression is made, deep wrinkles can be seen even when the skin is expressionless.

Deep wrinkles are caused by a decrease in collagen and elastin, which maintain the elasticity and firmness of the skin, as well as by changes in the skin structure itself. They often appear naturally with age and are also affected by external factors such as ultraviolet rays, smoking, and dryness.

fine wrinkles

Progressive deep wrinkling leads to sagging wrinkles.

The cause is due to changes in the structure of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, resulting in less support and drooping skin. The changes occur not only in the skin, but also from within the skin, including the bones and muscles.

They are especially likely to appear in areas with thin skin, such as around the eyes, and "eye bags" under the eyes are one such example.

Structures around the eyes that affect wrinkles under the eyes

The reason why wrinkles tend to form under the eyes is because the area under the eyes has the following three characteristics.

The skin under the eyes is very thin, about 1/3 the thickness of the rest of the bodyThere is only one. With aging, the dermis becomes even thinner, resulting in collagen loss and disorganization of the elastin structure, resulting in loss of firmness and elasticity.

Also,Low sebum secretion and therefore prone to drynessThis is a characteristic of the epidermis. The epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin, acts as a natural barrier to keep the skin moist. However, the skin around the eyes is thinner and produces less sebum, making it more prone to dryness and damage than other parts of the body.

Furthermore, unlike the muscles of the body, the facial muscles of the face are located just below the skin. Excessive massage risks the muscles sliding down with the skin and causing "sagging," so care should be taken.

Causes of wrinkles under the eyes

Wrinkles under the eyes can be caused by internal factors such as aging and lifestyle, or external factors such as friction and UV rays.

dryness

Dry skin is a condition in which the skin lacks moisture and sebum. The structure of the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin, becomes disorganized and easily cracked, resulting in a rough texture. This leads to a decrease in the amount of light reflected, resulting in fine lines and wrinkles, dullness, and wrinkles.

In addition, using cleansers with high cleansing power to remove makeup may remove even the moisture and sebum necessary for the skin.

friction

Friction damages the delicate skin around the eyes, reducing the skin's protective barrier function and leading to wrinkles.

For example, are you doing any of the following?

• Scrubbing around the eyes during makeup removal and skin care
• Pulling at the corner of the eye when applying eyeliner.
• Has a habit of scratching around the eyes.
• When washing your face, you rinse it off in the shower.

For the skin around the eyes, makeup removal and shower pressure can also be a strain, increasing the risk of wrinkles and blemishes.

If you have allergies and are prone to scratching because of itching, you should address this problem as soon as possible, as it increases the risk of inflammation and dryness leading to wrinkles.

Eye fatigue

Eye fatigue is probably felt by most people today.

Prolonged close-up work, such as working on a computer or browsing a smartphone, causes the muscles that adjust the focus of the eyes to tense and become fatigued. Tense muscles cause poor blood circulation, which leads to a vicious cycle in which oxygen and nutrients are not delivered to the skin, waste products are not eliminated, and firmness and moisture are lost.

In addition, a disease called ptosis, in which the eyelids droop or the orbicularis oculi muscle is asymmetrical, can cause wrinkles in only one eye.

compulsive facial expression

Wrinkles are carved by facial habits. Do you have any of the following habits?

• Her face scrunches up when she smiles.
• Habit of opening or straining the eyes
• Has a habit of squeezing his eyes shut.
• I have a habit of poking my cheekbones.

Cheekbones are not associated with facial expressions, but cheekbones may cause wrinkling around the eyes.

ultra-violet rays

Ultraviolet rays cause not only blemishes, but also wrinkles, sagging, and all other skin aging problems.

Both UVA and UVB rays are responsible for wrinkles.

UVA reaches the dermis and denatures elastin and collagen, which maintain skin elasticity, causing deep wrinkles and sagging lines; UVB reaches the epidermis and acts on melanocytes, causing spots and freckles and dehydrating the stratum corneum, leading to fine wrinkles.

adding to one's years

It is easy to imagine that wrinkles increase with age.

Specifically, as we age, wrinkles are more likely to form due to a decrease in the moisture content around the eyes, and wrinkles are less likely to improve due to a slowing of turnover.

In addition, firmness and elasticity will be lost, leading to deep wrinkles, and furthermore, fat, muscle, and bone will atrophy, resulting in excess skin on top, making wrinkles more noticeable.

Lifestyle, including lack of sleep and poor nutrition

Lack of sleep and nutritional imbalances can lead to wrinkles.

During sleep, the secretion of growth hormones is activated, which repairs skin damage during the day. Insufficient sleep results in insufficient growth hormone production, which disrupts metabolism, resulting in skin that is not repaired and becomes dry.

You know that water, vitamins, minerals, and protein are necessary for beautiful skin, but be careful not to consume too much animal fat. Increased cholesterol and poor circulation make it difficult for nutrients to reach the skin, leading to wrinkles.

Home care for wrinkles under the eyes

There are some things you can do yourself to address wrinkles under the eyes. Here are some specific ways to take care of them.

Moisturizing is done up to eye cream.

What cosmetics can do for wrinkles is moisturize.
There are many ingredients in cosmetics that can help prevent wrinkles caused by dryness. Make good use of them.

Some people do not use milky lotion or cream because they do not like the texture, but this is a waste of money. Lotion alone does not hold moisture well, and only when supplemented with oil by milky lotion or cream can moisture evaporation be prevented. Use milky lotion or cream only in moderation, as too little can cause friction and too much can clog pores.

Of course, you should incorporate serums and creams for the eye area regardless of age.

Recommended Beauty Ingredients

Some cosmetics are medicated cosmetics (quasi-drugs) that contain a certain amount of wrinkle-improving active ingredients approved by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.It is a good idea to incorporate it into your daily skin care routine.

It works on the epidermis, basement membrane, and dermis, and is expected to be effective for dry wrinkles and deep wrinkles.   Increases epidermal hyaluronic acid Promotes dermal collagen production Suppresses secretion of enzymes that degrade dermal collagen and basement membrane collagen

Cleansing and washing face without friction

Skin care should be performed with as little friction as possible.Scrubbing can damage the barrier function due to friction, and wrinkles are more likely to form from dryness.

Makeup should be used so generously that there is no resistance on the skin, and cleansing should be done gently with foam to absorb dirt. Lukewarm water is recommended, as rinsing with hot water can cause dryness. When wiping moisture from the face, use a soft towel.

UV protection is essential throughout the year.

Ultraviolet rays are present all year round. Regardless of the weather, measures need to be taken every day.It is.

Because UVA passes through both windows and clouds,Apply sunscreen as part of your skin care routine, even on days spent indoors.Instead of just applying it, place a dot and then extend it to avoid friction.

In addition, when going out, guard yourself by wearing a parasol, a hat, and sunglasses.

Rest/warm eyes

For tired eyes, it is advisable to warm the eyes to stimulate blood flow and to take moderate rest to relax the muscles.

orbicularis oculi muscle training

Simply moving the eyes up and down, left and right, is also training.
While massage can be effective in stimulating blood and lymph flow, too much forceful massage risks increasing wrinkles. It should be performed under the direction of a specialist.

Makeup to camouflage wrinkles

If you want to hide wrinkles now, there are ways to temporarily camouflage them with makeup effects.

1. First, moisturize well with skin care.
2. Choose a shiny type of primer to make wrinkles fly away with light and make them less visible.
3. Apply a small amount of foundation or concealer with a soft texture and good coverage to the center of the face. If you apply a thick layer of foundation or concealer in an attempt to hide wrinkles, it is more likely to cause make-up to fall off, and the make-up will collect in the wrinkles, making the wrinkles more noticeable.
4. Finally, add a highlight and fly away with light.

What you can do to maintain the effectiveness of under eye wrinkle treatment

In order to maintain the effectiveness of treatment of wrinkles under the eyes, it is necessary not only to treat the wrinkles, but also to prepare before and spend time after the surgery.
