What causes fine lines around eyes?

1. Lack of water

Among the skin on the face, the skin around the eyes is the thinnest, only 0.4 mm thick. Because this part of the skin has no sebaceous glands or sweat glands and is very thin, about 1/3 to 1/5 the thickness of the skin on other parts of the face. Therefore, the skin around the eyes has weak protective functions, and the moisture in the skin around the eyes is easily evaporated. When the water retention capacity is poor, dryness becomes the most common problem. This is why fine lines first visit the eyes. As time goes by, sebum secretion weakens and the area around the eyes becomes increasingly weak and sensitive. From the first fine lines to the increase of more and more expression lines, skin dehydration caused by the environment, season and personal reasons has always been a major cause of fine lines around the eyes.

2. Overuse of eyes

Long-term exposure to computers and various bad habits, such as frequent squinting or blinking, can easily cause aging of the eye skin and the formation of fine lines. Because our eyes blink more than 10,000 times a day, such frequent blinking will naturally affect the skin and muscles around the eyes, which can easily cause the eyelids to become loose and fragile. This is also the reason why "wrinkles" are easily formed around the eyes. Therefore, excessive use of the eyes is also one of the main causes of fine lines around the eyes.

3. Poor blood circulation

Because the skin around the eyes is thinner, the blood vessels in the skin are relatively thinner and fewer, so it is more difficult to transport nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells, which makes the capillary circulation around the eyes prone to stagnation. In addition, with age, the collagen and elastin content of the skin begins to gradually decrease, and the skin lacks sufficient nutrition and vitality. It is difficult to replenish nutrients to the skin around the eyes, blood circulation is poor, and metabolism is difficult. Fine lines begin to appear, and the skin around the eyes is prone to aging and wrinkles.

Honey and egg yolk eye mask: Mix an egg yolk with a spoonful of honey, then add a few drops of olive oil. It can moisturize the skin and prevent wrinkles. It is recommended to do it 1 to 2 times a week, 10 minutes each time.

3. Eye cream

The skin around the eyes is the most delicate and fragile, so when choosing an eye cream, you should choose one that contains highly effective hydrating ingredients and try to make the texture light to ensure that the skin around the eyes absorbs nutrients and energy smoothly, avoiding burdening the skin around the eyes and causing problems such as fat particles. Hyaluronic acid, collagen, etc. are all excellent hydrating ingredients, among which hyaluronic acid has the best hydrating effect.
