I see lines and wrinkles on my face and around my eyes.

As we age we naturally form lines and wrinkles around our face and eyes. But what exactly are they?

1. Sleep lines. These are lines and wrinkles that form on our face from the compression of our face as we lie on our pillow during sleep. Their location can be determined by the location of the attachments of muscles and nerves on our face, but sleep lines can form around our forehead, around the eyes, face and lips.

2. Expression lines. These form anywhere on our face that contracts when we form a facial expression. For example when we smile we draw up our face into a facial expression, and so this naturally forms lines where the skin wrinkles, for example around the edges of our eyes.

We smile, and form lots of other facial expressions many times each day, and over time these add up to create lines and wrinkles in these places. Of course this is determined by how your face moves when you form a facial expression, and also by what expressions you use most often. They can form anywhere on your face, including around the eyes.

3 Wrinkles formed by gravity. Gravity cannot be escaped, and as we age the effects of gravity become more marked. Gravity pulls our skin on our face downwards, and over time this gets worse and worse. When we are young our naturally young and more elastic skin resists the effects of gravity, but as we age our ability to fight gravity weakens, and this leads to permanent drooping around the eyes and mouth, and also the eyelids. This forms into wrinkles and lines around the eyes over time. Read the rest of this entry

There’s all sorts of causes of eye wrinkles.

There’s all sorts of causes of eye wrinkles, or any facial wrinkles for that matter, and if you know about them then you can make adjustments to some of the things you didn’t know about. Of course it’s good advice to use the best eye wrinkle cream you can as well, but there’s other factors you need to know about.

We’ve previously mentioned free radical damage. And the use of antioxidants in any good skin care and eye care regime. Anti oxidants fight the damage caused by free radicals which are molecules produced by our own body which cause cell damage which contributes to skin damage and wrinkles forming around the face and eyes, including the eyelids.

A diet high in antioxidant rich foods, like fruits and vegetables can help fight the damage to our skin caused by free radicals. And don’t smoke or spend a lot of time in the sun, particularly during the middle of the day as this also speeds up the effects of free radicals and adds the damaging effects of UV rays to the equation.

In a study at an Australian university it was found that foods like vegetables, legumes, olives, fruits and nuts as well as foods rich in monounsaturated fats like avocados are all good foods to fight skin damage and skin aging and wrinkling.

And something as simple as excessive intake of sugar can also add to the damage to our skin. Sugar, through a complex chemical process can lead to hardening of the veins and arteries, and this in turn can increase skin damage as blood finds it harder to access the areas it should, and can cause wrinkles both on the face and around the eyes.

Stress has also been shown to increase inflammation in the body which leads to a whole host of physical problems but can also contribute to skin aging and wrinkle formation on the face and eyes. So try and keep your life stress free if you can. Not easy. And regular exercise is also shown to reduce the effects of stress and all the normal aging effects on our bodies, including our skin.
