The delicate skin around the eyelids is the thinnest on the body, so it needs protection and care after the age of 20. The first signs of aging on it are noticeable much earlier than on other parts of the face.

And you need to take care of this area comprehensively, using not only high-quality cosmetics and natural masks, but also performing special exercises from wrinkles around the eyes. There are several complexes, and every woman can choose the most convenient one.

Causes of wrinkles

For some women, the first wrinkles appear much earlier than others.

And these are not individual characteristics of the organism, but the consequences of poor care or specific factors affecting a person:

The reluctance to wear glasses is fraught with regular squinting and the appearance of wrinkles in the corners of the eyes;
Reading while lying down or in poor/too bright light leads to wrinkles;
Ultraviolet, which directly affects the epidermis, also negatively affects it, so it is important to wear sunglasses in summer;
The only individual feature that leads to wrinkles, in which even gymnastics may be ineffective, is the severity of facial expressions and emotionality;
Daily use of decorative cosmetics;
Rubbing and stretching the epidermis after washing;
Incorrect application of the cream - it must be lightly driven in with pads at the top from the inner corner to the outer, and at the bottom - vice versa;
Often wrinkles appear with a long absence of teeth or in the process of sharp weight loss;
Hormonal disorders, infections and problems with the digestive organs, nervous system also lead to this pathology.

Gymnastics against wrinkles around the eyes does not require much time, can be performed in almost any conditions.

Complex of basic gymnastics from wrinkles

With the help of exercises for the muscles of the eyes from wrinkles, you can improve the condition of the skin of the eyelids, relieve fatigue from the eyes, and also get rid of slight puffiness. The skin becomes elastic, and new wrinkles form at a slower rate. You can use special decoctions and oils before exercises that help moisturize and tone.

Consider the exercises that are included in the complex:

You will need a pendulum clock or any weight on a string. Without turning your head, follow his movements for 5 minutes.
Repeat exercise No. 1 for another 5 minutes, but hang the clock higher and do not raise your head.
For a few seconds, they carefully peer at a distant object, then sharply shift their eyes to a close object.
At a distance of 25 cm, a small object is hung in front of the eyes, then they begin to move it in different sides, and they follow with their eyes without turning their heads, after which you need to make several circular movements in different directions.
Having tightly closed the eyelids, count up to 3, then sharply open the eyelids and again count up to 3. You need to repeat the exercise at least 8 times.
They tightly close and sharply open their eyes several times, and the muscles where “crow's feet” are formed are held with the index and middle fingers.
Close your eyes, and put 3 fingers on top. The index finger should hold the outer corner, and the middle one - the middle and eyebrows, while the nameless one focuses on the inner corner. They try to squint their closed eyes, and resist with their fingers.
They look forward, and with 2 fingers pull the lower eyelid to the upper one, count to 2 and release the eyelid;
This exercise will help from light bags around the eyes - the eyelids are closed, the eyes are raised up, the lower eyelids should straighten out.
Fingers are placed to the outer corners of the eyes perpendicular to the wrinkles, the skin is pulled back, the palpebral fissure should decrease. Opened and closed several times.
The head is kept still and straight, looking forward. Eyes need to be raised up, counting to 5, then look forward and lower their eyes in the same way, counting to 5.
Another effective exercise against wrinkles under the eyes - the head is held straight, looking forward, the eyes are very slowly moved to the left, counted to 5 and returned to their place. Repeat to the right side.

To increase the effectiveness of gymnastics for the skin around the eyes from wrinkles, you need to start monitoring your diet. Proper nutrition is very important for general condition skin.

Special complex from bags

If dark circles and swelling constantly appear under the eyes, then this can also be eliminated with the help of special gymnastics from wrinkles around the eyes. However, first you need to determine the cause of edema and eliminate it, otherwise no exercise will be effective enough:

Edema appears due to alcohol abuse or excessive fluid intake before bedtime;

Too much salty foods in food inevitably leads to this pathology after 30-35 years;
Excess weight also causes strong bags, and many other problems leading to fluid accumulation are added here;

If all the symptoms of violations are eliminated, you can use a small set of exercises that will remove the bags and help smooth out the wrinkles that have formed:

In the morning, you need to cleanse the skin, and then apply a special cream that matches your type. Within 2-3 minutes, it is driven in with fingertips. The procedure helps to dissolve edema.

The area around the eyes is prone to the formation of wrinkles and sagging skin. This is an unpleasant picture that indicates age-related changes in a woman. Can the aging process be reversed? According to the trainers of special gymnastics - facebuilding for the eyelids - it is not only possible, but necessary. Exercises for the eyelids and skin around the eyes will smooth mimic wrinkles and bring the skin in order.

Problems inherent in centuries

Often women after 40 years of age are faced with the problem of the impending century- the skin from under the eyebrows seems to slide down, making the eyes narrower and unattractive, and the look heavy and dejected. This happens due to:

lack of muscle tone and atrophied ligaments;
improper water balance of the skin;
poor collagen production;
frequent use of matting tonal products and BB cream;
regular exposure to UV rays;
abuse of alcohol, coffee and cigarettes.

Interesting to know! The problem of a drooping eyelid can be solved with the help of blepharoplasty, which costs about 5 thousand dollars. The surgeon makes an incision and removes the loose skin. But due to atrophy of the ligaments, after a certain time, the impending eyelid may reappear. Cosmetologists offer less expensive hardware procedures: radiolifting, laser facelift, photorejuvenation, costing 1-1.5 thousand dollars per course.

In addition, after 25 years, small wrinkles begin to appear in the area under the eyes. This happens due to all of the above factors. The fact is that a woman blinks very often, smiles and squints in the sun. Consequently, the skin around the eyes is subjected to intense physical stress. If you are not a supporter of surgery and Botox injections, then special exercises for the eyelids will help to delay the aging process. They allow:

normalize lymph flow;
improve blood circulation;
remove the fat layer;
strengthen individual muscles;
make the skin supple and uniform.

On the lower eyelid, due to fatigue, a large amount of water drunk, muscle weakness and frequent exposure to the sun, appear:

puffiness;
a large number of facial wrinkles;
"crow's feet";
bruises under the eyes.

These problems are easily eliminated with the help of a properly performed massage.

A set of exercises

Cosmetologists have been struggling with the problem of sagging skin around the eyelids and wrinkles for a long time, and successfully. A whole set of exercises for the eyes has been developed, which, in symbiosis with lymphatic drainage massage, can improve the condition of muscles and skin. But there is one thing in this case: if you decide to become beautiful, then the procedures should be carried out several times a day.

As sad as it is, but this moment the question is “how to tighten the eyelids?” worries a lot of the fair sex.

The eyes are the most important part of the face, they largely determine the first impression that others have about us. Every woman tries to choose makeup in such a way that her eyes seem even larger and more expressive.
But, unfortunately, the skin on our eyelids is very thin and delicate, and does not contain fat at all. It is on her that the first wrinkles appear, and often by the age of 25, and if a teenager clumsily uses cosmetics, then even earlier.
