How To Reduce Wrinkles Under The Eyes

To reduce expression lines and moisturize the area, it is recommended to apply a little petroleum jelly to the eyes before going to sleep.

The eyes are the mirror of the soul, the point of concentration of our brain when we speak to someone… Wrinkles can therefore be ungracious.

Wrinkles appear when there is a lack of collagen and elastin. These are protein fibers present in the skin cells and giving it its resistance and elasticity.

These fibers then form a network all over the face allowing it, when you press or pull on young skin; and therefore rich in collagen, to recover easily and quickly. Unfortunately, the production of collagen and elastin tends to decrease over time. This is why the skin becomes thinner and loses its ability to recover.

In addition, the sun causes the majority of these changes. This is why the area under the eyes is also the most vulnerable to this kind of damage. Indeed, the latter is extremely thin and paradoxically finds itself the most exposed to the sun throughout the day.

However, something you probably didn’t know is that wrinkles are largely determined by genetics. So, in the end, there is very little you can do to change this situation.

You can of course adopt a certain course of action to try to reduce the depth of his wrinkles. Here is a small list!

It stimulates the formation of collagen, which then helps the skin to fight against aging as well as pimple problems. You can make an avocado face mask to help hydrate your skin around your eyes and give it the fatty acids it needs. Over time, you will be able to see that Vitamin B and E will give you beautiful skin.
