Here are some causes of wrinkles under the eyes that you need to be aware of:
1. Exposure to UV rays
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is the main cause of wrinkles.Quoting Healthline, UV rays can damage collagen, an important protein that maintains skin elasticity.Without sunscreen protection, skin appears rough and wrinkled more quickly.
2. Smoking habit
Smoking increases oxidative stress which damages collagen and elastin.Apart from making the skin lose its elasticity, smoking also constricts blood vessels, thereby inhibiting the flow of nutrients to the skin.This combination of factors accelerates the appearance of wrinkles under the eyes.
3. Repetitive facial movements
The habit of smiling, frowning, or squinting can trigger fine lines.In fact, sleeping in the same position every night, for example with your face pressed against a pillow, can also create wrinkles.As you get older, it becomes increasingly difficult for your skin to return to its original shape.
4. Drinking less water
Dehydration makes the skin look dry, dull and less elastic.The under-eye area, which is thinner, shows fine lines more quickly.Make sure you have enough fluids to keep your skin moist.
5. Improper facial care
Rarely using sunscreen, choosing products that are too harsh, or not using moisturizer can weaken the skin barrier.If the skin’s protective layer is damaged, the under-eye area becomes more susceptible to irritation and wrinkles.
6. Staring at the gadget screen for too long
Exposure to blue light from cellphones and computers can have an impact on skin conditions.Apart from that, the habit of squinting when reading on a small screen also makes the muscles around the eyes work extra and triggers deeper wrinkles.
Rest your eyes regularly and limit the use of gadgets before bed.
7. Excessive coffee consumption
Even though it is beneficial, excessive coffee consumption can increase the hormone cortisol which makes the skin drier.Added sugar or milk in coffee can also trigger inflammation which makes fine lines worse.
Understanding the various causes of wrinkles under the eyes can help you improve your daily habits.With the right preventive measures, skin can stay fresh and younger looking for longer.
