Skin care knowledge: Caring for your skin too early is called maintenance, and doing it too late is called remediation!

As the saying goes, people’s faces age first, and the eyes age first. It would be a pity if those lively and bright eyes had a few more wrinkles! Attention girls who love to laugh~ Eye care is the first priority! Once wrinkles, eye bags and dark circles appear on your face, it is no longer called maintenance, it can only be remediation!

Eye bags

There are two main types of eye bags: edema eye bags and seborrheic eye bags. Another type is congenital fat hypertrophy, which I won’t go into detail about. We can have a special session on eye bags next time.

The edema type is mostly caused by excessive drinking of water at night (water easily accumulates around the eyes when lying flat, so avoid lying down right after drinking water) or crying, and the slow lymphatic metabolism of water causes edema due to the accumulation of water around the eyes.

Seborrheic eye bags are mainly caused by aging, insufficient collagen elastic fibers, loose and inelastic skin around the eyes, lack of bone support around the eyes, and fat collapse.

Reminder: Edema-type eye bags can be improved through massage and hot compress. Massage in circles up and down and push to behind the ears and to the lymph nodes under the armpits. Do it in one go and don't stop halfway (there is a video at the end of the article).

Seborrheic eye bags should be treated with regular massage and lifting movements to replenish nutrients to the skin. Surgery is not recommended after the age of 45. Conservative treatment is best. Surgery too early will cause the skin to become loose at a later stage, which would be disadvantageous if further surgery is performed.

Dark circles

Dark circles can be divided into congenital and acquired.

Congenital dark circles are related to kidney function. The area around the eyes is the reflex area of ​​the kidneys. Renal insufficiency, kidney disease, etc. can cause dark circles. There is also uneven pigmentation in the sky, and dark areas around the eyes.

Acquired habit is something you do yourself. Staying up late for a long time causes the capillaries in the eyes to become blocked, dilated, and rupture. The released hemoglobin reacts with the body's enzymes to form dark circles caused by bilirubin (dark brown) and bile green (bluish).

There is another situation where people often wear eye makeup but do not pay attention to cleaning it, which will cause pigmentation-type dark circles over time.

Reminder: Staying up late is the biggest killer of dark circles, so try to avoid it. After staying up late, massage your eyes and apply hot compresses to keep the eye capillaries unobstructed and reduce congestion. During the massage, it is best to use massage oil, which has good ductility and will not pull the skin.

The main function of massage is to accelerate blood circulation in the skin, metabolize eye waste, and increase the temperature of the body surface so that the skin can better absorb nutrients. The main technique is to lift.
