Eye Wrinkles 101: Causes, Preventions, And At-Home Treatments

Eye Wrinkles 101: Causes, Preventions, And At-Home Treatments From Barbie's Beauty Bits

Mark Twain once said, "Wrinkles merely mark where smiles have been" however, smiling isn't entirely to blame for your wrinkles. Wrinkles result from a lot of factors and are completely natural and inevitable. Still, it's normal to feel self-conscious about them, especially if you feel like they make you look older than you are.

So, if you want to find ways to get a head start of the aging process with the causes, prevention's, and ways to banish those eye wrinkles, needle, and knife-free. Including using green tea and skincare products like Hyalo AI Beauty, Matcha Shot Eye Serum, continue reading.

What Are Wrinkles
Wrinkles are grouped into two different categories: static wrinkles and dynamic wrinkles.

Let's start with the Dynamic Wrinkles first, as these are ones formed by our actions. The pesky wrinkles appear from facial expressions like smiling or squinting but fade when the expression stops. However, if these habits become continual, they will eventually become more profound, and a crease can form.

This leads us to the following type of wrinkle, Static Wrinkles, appearing even when the face is at rest. This wrinkle formation is caused by those muscle contractions in our face, from repeated facial expressions and movements (e.g., frequent frowning, furrowing your brow, etc., as we mentioned above).

Over time the creases get more profound and more permanent because the skin loses its ability to snap back into place. Guess mom knew something when she said, "Stop making faces," or our favorite, "Stop frowning; your face will freeze that way."  

Most Common Reasons We Get Eye Wrinkles
We briefly touched on this above, with one of the most common causes for fine lines wrinkles formation being facial expressions. But there are other factors aside from facial expressions, and the years of birthdays can lead to wrinkles. 

No. 1: Exposure To Free Radicals
Two of the most visible effects of free radicals are wrinkles and collagen breakdown. While avoiding total exposure to free radicals is almost impossible, it is possible to delay the process by limiting our exposure to unnecessary free radicals and several external culprits like pollution, overexposure to the sun, and even ingredients in makeup that can cause early signs of aging.

No 2: Everyday Habits
Several other factors, including our daily choices, can also influence the aging of our skin:

• Sleeping on your stomach with your face buried in a cotton pillow
• Staring at a computer all-day
• Looking down at your phone
• Drinking too much alcohol
• Squinting
• People who suffer from insomnia or disturbed, erratic sleep cycles
• Eating processed foods
• UV rays
• Not wearing sunscreen daily
  

No. 3: Aging
When we age, the desquamation process slows down (the process of shedding old skin), our skin gradually loses collagen and elastin, making it loose and saggy. Also, dry skin as our sebum production (oil production) weakens with age, making our skin more dehydrated and wrinkled.

No. 4: Genetics
Our DNA may predict more about us than the way we look. According to the genetic theory of aging, our genes and mutations in these genes are responsible for how we age. Our DNA molecules deteriorate with time and prevent cell replication, which leads to wrinkles and other signs of aging.

The Common Places We See Wrinkles
You look in the mirror, and what are those crinkly areas around the eyes that you see? Crow's feet! While we may say the eyes are the windows to our souls, they present a clear picture of something else; premature aging, as unfortunately, this thin, delicate skin around the eyes is one of the first to show signs of aging skin.

The eyes are not the only place where the skin ages. There are other areas on the face that show wrinkles, as our entire face has more than likely fallen prey to sun exposure over the years. Plus, did you know that there are 42 individual muscles on the face? That's considerable potential for the appearance of lines associated with muscle contractions, such as:

Frown Lines: These develop as facial muscles contract with every frown. ALSO, frown lines are connected to other muscles responsible for depressing and lowering the brow, resulting in wrinkles.

Those Pesky 11's: These two vertical lines form between your eyebrows that look like the number 11. Repeated motion furrows the skin between the eyebrows leading to wrinkles over time.

Forehead Wrinkles: These wrinkles are usually horizontal and can become very deep and prominent over the years. Aside from repeated facial expressions like raising your eyebrows, most have a deeper set from bad lifestyle choices, like not wearing sunscreen.

Ways To Prevent And Reduce Eye Wrinkles At Home
Now that you know some of the causes of facial wrinkles, some preventive measures, even some at-home beauty treatments, can minimize and reduce the appearance of wrinkles found around the eye area.

• Sun protection – Nothing looks better in your 50's than sunscreen in your 20's. You also want to make sure you wear a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and seek shade, not sun.
• Keep yourself well hydrated – Dehydration can wreak havoc on the skin, including pronounced lines, especially around the eyes. Drinking plenty of water and eating hydrating foods assist in keeping the body hydrated and maintaining your skin's elasticity.
• Load up on antioxidants- Whether, from your diet or skincare, antioxidants help your skin repair itself and allow the renewal process.
• Adjust your sleeping habits- Sleep on your back, sleep on a silk pillowcase, and make sure to get 6-8 hours of sleep a night.
  

Implement A Skincare Routine With Ingredients That Can Make A Difference
Not all skincare is created equal. So the key here is to make sure you are using skincare products that contain active ingredients and antioxidants to accentuate and enhance the benefits of each ingredient for better wrinkle-free results.

For this portion of the blog post, I have partnered up with Hyalo AI Beauty to discuss the benefits of their Age-Defying Matcha Shot Eye Serum.

Matcha Shot is formulated with a proprietary blend of 20 active ingredients (AI20), starring Green Tea AI, Assam Tea AI, and a Polypeptides Complex AI.

These active ingredients are joined by a gorgeous supporting team of AI, delivered to your skin by Hyalo AI Nanosphere Technology.

Hyalo's AI Beauty
What is Hyalo AI Beauty's active intelligence all about? They are natural ingredients sequentially released overtime to defend, shield, and heal.

All Hyalo AI Beauty formulas are a proprietary blend of natural ingredients, and each is sourced sustainably to deliver pure goodness in its purest form.

These ingredients work together to intelligently undo skincare damage and help to restore a more youthful appearance. Their ingredients are powered by Nanosphere technology for targeted, fast, and long-lasting magical beauty!

No cell is left unturned. Hyalo AI Beauty targets skin discoloration, collagen loss, dryness, pollutants, damage from free radicals, photosensitivity, and fatigued cells.

Green Tea: Move over Teavana, or should we say Starbucks, as green tea isn't just for drinking. There are many benefits of green tea for the skin, especially the eye area.

• Collagen Booster: Green tea is rich in vitamin B-2. Vitamin B-2 can boost collagen levels, helping firm a more youthful, plump under-eye area.
• Caffeine in green tea constricts the blood vessels within this sensitive tissue. This aids in reducing puffiness and inflammation and can help keep the area around the eye taut.
• Even Out Fine Lines: The polyphenols neutralize free radicals that can lead to premature aging by plumping up the skin, nourishing and evening out your skin tone. You can even delay the signs of sun damage, age spots, saggy skin, and fine lines; now how cool is that?
• Moisturizes The Skin: Green tea fights free radicals and boosts overall skin hydration. It contains several vitamins, including vitamin E, which provides long-lasting moisture for a visibly youthful, smoother-looking, and glowing complexion.
  

Seaweed Complex: Aids in defying free-radical UV damage by healing eye puffiness, crows feet, and dark circles.

Witch Hazel AI: It is antibacterial and helps to reduce swelling and eye puffiness.

Pearl AI: Helps by brightening the eye area and shielding the skin from dryness and premature aging.

Polypeptide Complex: A proprietary blend of national proteins that defies discoloring pigments, helping with the dark undereye area.
