How many types of wrinkles under the eyes are there?
Under eye wrinkles are divided into 3 types, which have the following differences:
| Fine lines or shallow wrinkles (Fine Lines) | This is the initial stage of wrinkle problems. Fine wrinkles or shallow wrinkles are wrinkles that occur in the epidermis layer, making them the easiest to treat. Fine wrinkles are caused by the skin lacking water, which makes the skin dry and causes wrinkles. |
| Expression Wrinkle | Wrinkles are caused by the contraction of facial muscles while making facial expressions such as laughing, crying, smiling and showing stress. All of this is done regularly until folds such as crow's feet, forehead wrinkles or wrinkles on the cheeks are formed. These wrinkles can occur in all genders and all ages. If the skin has enough collagen, the skin will be elastic and can return to normal. But if the skin loses a lot of collagen, it will be difficult to make the skin smooth again. |
| Wrinkles in the dermis | Wrinkles are caused by the skin being damaged by free radicals, whether from dust, smoke, sunlight or the body's internal metabolic system, causing the body to lose elastin, hyaluronic acid, fibroblasts and collagen, causing the skin's fiber structure to deteriorate rapidly and not return to its shape, resulting in wrinkles and sagging skin under the eyes. |
What causes wrinkles under the eyes?
The problem of wrinkles under the eyes and creases under the eyes may be a physical sign that indicates that the skin and internal systems of the body are deteriorating, causing the skin under the eyes to lose elasticity and make the skin thinner, which may be stimulated by internal and external factors as follows:
- Loss of elastin and collagen Loss of these two things will cause the skin to lose its elasticity and firmness, including making the skin thinner, causing wrinkles under the eyes. Most wrinkles will occur under the eyes, at the corners of the eyes, on the eyelids and on the skin around the eyes because the skin in that area is more delicate and finer than other areas, causing the skin in this area to wrinkle faster.
- age As we age, the bones under our eyes begin to shrink, causing the skin under our eyes to sag and create wrinkles under the eyes.
- Dehydrated skin It is mostly found in people with dry skin because the skin is dehydrated, which makes it easy for wrinkles to appear under the eyes.
- sunlight It is another cause of wrinkles, especially around the eyes, because sunlight contains ultraviolet rays that damage elastin and collagen in the skin, causing deterioration and resulting in wrinkles and creases.
- Facial expressions When facial expressions such as smiling, laughing or squinting are made for a long time or regularly, wrinkles and sagging skin around the eyes can occur.
- Smoking It is a cause of wrinkles around the eyes because cigarettes contain chemicals that damage skin cells. And if you smoke regularly, it will cause more wrinkles.
- Rubbing eyes Rubbing the area around the eyes or rubbing the eyes regularly causes the skin to stretch excessively, causing elastin to break down and form lines, resulting in wrinkles.
- Likes to sleep on one's stomach or side for long periods of time. Sleeping in this position for a long time may cause the skin to wrinkle faster than normal.
- Using your eyes to look at your phone or computer for long periods of time This causes the muscles around the eyes to contract, making it easier for wrinkles to form.
How to prevent wrinkles under the eyes
Wrinkles under the eyes are a problem that can happen to anyone. To prevent these events from happening, this topic brings you easy ways to prevent wrinkles under the eyes that everyone can follow.
