Birthdays are a lot of fun—you get to
open presents, and celebrate with your friends and family. But as you
age, your skin changes—and that could put a damper on your birthdays as
the years go by. Your eye area is particularly susceptible to
age-related changes like wrinkles. While you could be paying great
attention to your complexion in general, if you neglect the skin around
your eyes, all your hard work could be for nothing. Keep reading to find
out what causes under-eye wrinkles, advice for keeping your eye area in
tip-top shape, and products recommendations to try if you’re dealing
with skin concerns around your eyes.
[post_ads_2]What Causes Under-Eye Wrinkles?
Fun fact: The skin around your eyes is
10 times thinner than the skin on the rest of your face, so it’s one of
the first areas to show signs of aging. On top of that, your skin loses
moisture, nature oils, and nutrients as you age, so your eye area can
become dry, and that can make dark circles
and under-eye bags more visible. But that’s not all. As you rack up the
birthdays, the natural lifters in your skin that are responsible for
your skin’s firmness and youthful appearance begin to break down. This
can lead to your skin feeling less firm and wrinkles and lines to be
more visible.
How to Care for Your Skin if You Have Under-Eye Wrinkles
Do you have wrinkles around your eye
area? If so, there are a few things you should keep in mind when it
comes to your skin care routine.
1. Consider using an anti-aging eye cream. If you haven’t added an anti-aging eye cream
to your skin care regimen yet, go ahead and try one! Look for one
that’s specifically designed for your concerns—whether that’s wrinkles,
dark circles, puffiness,
or some combination of these. Unsure of where eye cream should go in
your skin care routine? Always apply it after moisturizer. Typically,
you can use an eye cream morning and night.

2. Apply SPF on a daily basis. This
one’s important, so listen up! Spending time in the sun without wearing
protection can lead to skin damage, which can show up your skin years
later as visible signs of aging like wrinkles or dark spots. So, it’s
important to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen
(meaning it protects against both UVA an UVB rays) of SPF 15 or
higher—year-round, since, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, you
can get burned even on cloudy days. If you’re going to be spending an
extended period of time outside, the Skin Cancer Foundation recommends wearing SPF 30 or higher. You should apply sunscreen 15 minutes before you go outside and reapply every two hours.
