What Causes Under Eye Wrinkles: Sun, Smoke, and Sleeping

Wrinkles are the result of repetitive movements engaged in on a daily basis. Smiling, laughing, squinting, furrowing brows, and frowning are all expressions that attribute to crinkles in old age. However, facial expressions are not the only contributor to wrinkles; environmental factors like the sun or smoke are also major factors.

The skin under eyes is exceptionally sensitive and therefore more likely can area to develop wrinkles. While genetics and exhibiting facial features cannot be easily changed to avoid the appearance of these wrinkles, environmental factors can be.

Sun

When the sun is out nice and bright, it is instinctual to squint. The brightness of the sun hurts your eyes; therefore, squinting seems like the natural reaction. However, all of the squinting eventually leads to permanent wrinkles.

Not only does the sun cause squinting which leads to wrinkles, the sun also causes your skin to age.

Plus, the skin around eyes is quite thin, the aging can happen sooner than other areas of your body.

Smoke

Smoke contains free radicals that damage skin. Therefore, smokers develop more wrinkles under their eyes.

Smoke also causes people to squint or rub their eyes. Since the skin around eyes is so thin, when it is rubbed it causes the skin to wrinkle back and forth. Constant rubbing leads to wrinkles faster.

Sleep

Yes, sleep is necessary, but sleeping on your stomach can actually increase wrinkles under your eyes. By sleeping on your stomach, the side of your face rests on a pillow squished for hours at a time. This constant squishing of the face each and every night causes creasing, which eventually leads to wrinkles.

The skin under the eye is extremely delicate, thus a leading area for wrinkles. While some of the natural causes for wrinkles (i.e. facial expressions) are hard to control and prevent, many other causes of wrinkles are easily preventable and able to be reduced.

How to Reduce Under Eye Wrinkles: 4 Simple Suggestions

The skin under the eyes is one of the first places wrinkles develop, but reducing and preventing under eye wrinkles can be simple.

To help prevent and reduce the appearance of under eye wrinkles remember these four simple suggestions:

1. Sleep and Drink
   Sleeping at least 8 hours every night and drinking plenty of water helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
2. Sunscreen and Sunglasses
   Use an eye cream or even just a regular facial cream with an SPF in it. Sun is one of the leading causes of wrinkles. Also, wear sunglasses.
3. Sleep with a Humidifier, but not on your Stomach
   Purchase a humidifier for your bedroom and remember to sleep on your side or back to prevent creasing on your face from your pillow.
4. Don’t Rub or Remove Roughly
   Rubbing your eyes is sometimes a habit, especially when tired, but avoid this instinct. Rubbing the delicate skin under your eyes causes them to wrinkle. Similarly, when removing eye makeup, do not remove it too roughly.

Many skin care products can also help reduce the appearance of wrinkles under the eyes. One of the best products is Perricone’s High Potency Eye Lift. This product not only helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, but it also helps to lift, firm, and brighten the skin as well. Another Perricone product proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is Perricone Cold Plasma.

Independent clinical studies showed that 86% reported an improvement in the appearance of lines and wrinkles after utilizing this product.

Whether it is using High Potency Eye Lift or Perricone Cold Plasma, remembering to wear your sunglasses, under eye wrinkles can be easily reduced to help you stay forever looking young.

In particular, the skin around your eyes is especially sensitive and delicate. To stay healthy and beautiful, it needs special attention and care at every age.

This article will discuss:

• Skin Around the Eye
• Tips: Lifestyle & Products

In order to properly care for the skin in the eye area, it helps to understand the unique anatomy of this area.

The structures surrounding the eye are called the eye adnexa; they consist of:

• Orbital fascia
• Ocular muscles
• Eyelids
• Tunica conjunctiva
• Lacrimal apparatus, or tear ducts

Eyelid skin is composed of several layers. The deepest layer rests on top of the orbicularis muscle, the muscle that controls movement of the eyelid. It consists of a thin layer of fascia, a soft tissue element of the connective tissue system found throughout the human body. Next comes the dermis which is made up of threadlike proteins and bunches of elastin and collagen. Finally the top layer, or epidermis, gives skin its color, texture, and overall appearance.

Eyes are one of the first places to show aging, partly because the skin around the eyes is so thin. However, there are methods to protect the skin and treat both wrinkles and dark circles. Your best weapons against eye area aging are to use a daily eye lift cream to lock in moisture and to protect the area with sunscreen.

When choosing an eye area treatment, it is a good idea to look for one does not contain irritating ingredients or oils. The reduces the likelihood of clogged glands, styes, and other ocular problems. Products packaged in pumps rather than jars are preferable because the minimize the potential for contamination from your fingers.

Perricone MD‘s exclusive line of Neuropeptide products includes the Neuropeptide cream. It nourishes the skin around the eyes with alpha lipoic acid and DMAE. These ingredients help to firm the skin, minimize dark circles, and reduce the appearance of puffiness and wrinkles.

Other than treating it with quality products as a part of your daily routine, there are lifestyle steps you can take to protect the skin around your eyes:

• Drink plenty of water — This helps keep all your skin hydrated and aids in the maintenance of elasticity.
• Avoid smoking — Nicotine constricts the blood vessels, even under the eyes. This can lead to nutrient-deprived skin and decreased collagen production.
• Monitor sun exposure — Overexposure to UV rays can lead to uneven pigmentation caused by abnormal melanocyte (pigment-producer) maturation. Wearing UV protective sunglasses keeps the damaging rays away from the skin and prevents squinting which can itself cause wrinkles.
• Get enough rest — To reduce dark circles and puffiness, sleep at least seven to eight hours every night. Also, try sleeping with your head slightly elevated. This fights helps prevent fluid from collecting in your lower eyelids.
• Be gentle — The skin around the eye requires delicate handling. Use cotton balls when removing make-up as to avoid pulling or tugging at the skin. When applying eye cream, use your ring finger in order to exert less pressure on the area.

Nagging Necks

Have you recently caught a case of the “double chins?” Reduce those two chins back to one with a DMAE cream for the neck.

DMAE is an antioxidant membrane stabilizer. This means that DMAE penetrates the cell membrane to create a stronger cell that is more resistant to cell membrane damage. DMAE also assists other antioxidants, keeping your skin healthier and younger-looking.

For your neck, DMAE is especially helpful because it triggers the release of Acetylcholine. This neurotransmitter signals muscle movement, which keeps your skin tight and strong. As you age, though, Acetylcholine transmission reduces. Since DMAE triggers Acetylcholine release, DMAE creams help skin stay tight and healthy.

Try Cold Plasma Sub-D for your neck problems. This DMAE cream creates a more chiseled neck and jaw area, getting rid of your double chin.

Envious Eyes

If you are growing envious of others’ eyes, try a DMAE cream targeted at the eye area, like HP Eye Lift. DMAE creams targeted at the eye area can reduce fine lines while also keeping skin hydrated and healthy.

As a DMAE cream, HP Eye Lift benefits skin by lifting bags, toning skin, and reducing line appearance.This cream also helps hydrate skin with phospholipids, and increases collagen production with pycnogenol. All in all, HP Eye Lift is a master DMAE cream for the eye area.

Losing Lift

No matter what is done, skin sags as you age. Why? Skin cells break down due to stress, habits, and environmental factors, losing the elasticity that once allowed skin to fall back into place. Even worse, new cell production is slower, which means skin needs extra help.

For an instant lift in a bottle, try High Potentcy Amine Complex Face Lift. This DMAE cream contains higher levels of DMAE, Vitamin C Ester, and Pycogenol than other products so results are seen within minutes after use. Skin becomes brighter, tighter, and less wrinkled with continued use.

What did users think of these DMAE cream products?

Brought Back my Neck – “Am 57 yrs old and didn’t even need the suggested ‘before’/after photos in order to compare – within 2 wks it’s a definite shift/change – my neck is back and double chin disappearing, jawline firmer – and I’ve tried most every Qvc/Hsn vendor’s products – this rocks!” – From qvc.com, on Cold Plasma Sub-D

In two weeks, my upper eyelid area was back to normal! I’m not quite 40 yet and I jumped right on the problem, so I may have just lucked out with this one! I love love love it and have definitely noticed a difference in the upper eyelid and lower lid area.” – From Sephora, on HP Eye Lift

High DMAE Concentration Works – “I have been using this for a little over 4 months now and I am very pleased with what I am seeing….the high concentration of DMAE definately helps with the facial contours….For intensive fine line reduction I use this in conbination with the Evening Restorative Cream from Perricone as well as other glycolic products.

What is in Eye Wrinkle Creams?

Under eye wrinkle creams prevent skin from aging naturally. Perricone skincare allows skin to get plump, glow, and maintain ultimate moisture to prevent further aging.

The reason a best wrinkle cream can do this is because of what it is made of. Disguising wrinkles over time while additionally reversing their damage can only be done by products made of the purest, highest quality ingredients.

• DHA – luminates the skin with its essential fats, typically found in coldwater fish, that hydrate, sooth, and increase youthfulness.
• DMAE – provides ultimate contouring to skin dealing with loss of elasticity. This organic compound delivers lifted, toned, and tightened skin appearance.
• Neuropeptides – make the skin look and feel exceptionally radiant and vibrant with their surface renewal qualities. Allow for toning and resilience of sagging and crepiness.
• Phospholipids – repair damaged skin through ultimate hydration. These fats help treat dry, fragile skin while naturally absorbing quickly in the skin.
• Pycnogenol – heals the skin by protecting it from free radicals as well as improving overall health and renewing collagen.
• Vitamin C Ester – helps protect the skin from free radicals that do harm to cells which in turn prevent cancer, disease, and aging.

What Under Eye Wrinkle Cream Can Do

If you want younger looking skin, look no further. Protecting your eyes is crucial because it is the most sensitive part of the face.

If you want ultimate protection, lather your eye wrinkle cream and do not skimp when applying. This will further protect from free radicals and give extra antioxidants as you start your own skin therapy every day.

Following this with a facial moisturizer can seal in protection and improve overall skin health while immediately brightening skin.

What eye wrinkle creams can do to prevent aging on the face:

• Improve skin tone and texture
• Give off a radiant, youthful appearance
• Firm and tone fading facial contours
• Provide an anti-inflammatory to strengthen skin
• Create smooth and soft hydrated complexions

What eye wrinkle creams can do to reverse aging on the face:

• Stimulate skin renewal
• Smooth wrinkles
• Reduce lines and discoloration
• Refine skin’s texture
