With age, the condition of the skin of the face and body worsens, which leads to the appearance of visual signs of aging. But it is quite possible to significantly slow down the rate of withering and thinning of the skin, reduce the number of wrinkles and, as a result, maintain a youthful appearance. appearance for many years.

Causes of accelerated aging and thinning of the skin

First of all, it is necessary to exclude or minimize the negative impact on the skin of harmful factors, which include:

1. excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages, coffee and tea;
2. smoking;
3. excessive ultraviolet radiation;
4. consumption of foods containing a large amount of preservatives and other substances of chemical origin;
5. exposure to dust, polluted air, lack of oxygen and moisture;
6. excessive gesticulation, the habit of grimacing or frowning.

Ways to prevent thinning and aging of the skin

At any age, you can maintain a healthy and attractive appearance of the skin of the face and body, if you pay enough attention to care and eliminate the impact of the main causes of its premature withering. In this case, even the existing age wrinkles will only emphasize well-groomed facial features.

Measures to effectively protect the skin from premature thinning:

1. consume as little processed food as possible, preferring raw fruits and vegetables;
2. Minimize the amount of sugar in your daily diet. Excessive passion for sweets is very harmful to the skin of the face. Glucose molecules begin to interact with fats and proteins, while disrupting the structure of skin tissues, in particular collagen. An excess of sweets reduces the ability of collagen to participate in the renewal of skin cells, which leads to its thinning and the formation of wrinkles. In addition, due to the abuse of confectionery, the pores on the face expand, inflammation occurs, which leads to the formation of acne;
3. drink enough water. Lack of fluid leads to loss of moisture by skin cells and, as a result, to its premature fading. Various drinks are not suitable for this purpose, it is necessary to drink clean water, and not earlier than 1.5 hours after eating and not later than 15 minutes before eating;
4. saturate the skin with moisture from the outside. To this end, it is necessary to periodically wash yourself with clean cool water, regularly use moisturizing cosmetics. In the hot season, it is advisable to periodically spray the skin of the face with water or a special micellar liquid from a spray bottle and let the skin dry on its own, only slightly removing excess moisture with a clean cosmetic tissue;
5. reducing exposure to solar radiation. When in the sun, be sure to protect your face with a hat or use sunscreen with an appropriate UV protection factor. As a result of prolonged exposure sun rays over time, the skin becomes thinner and dries out, the pigmentation process is disturbed. Especially dangerous can be prolonged exposure to the sun for people with a large number of moles;
6. exposure to the winter frosty air also contributes to the deterioration of the skin of the face. As a result of prolonged exposure to cold, the capillaries in the superficial subcutaneous layer are damaged, the face becomes covered with a network of fine wrinkles. To protect against low temperatures, it is imperative to wrap your face as much as possible, leaving only areas of the body necessary for breathing open;

The beauty of a woman has long been famous for the expressiveness of her eyes. This is the shape, and color, and size. But all this becomes noticeable against the background of beautiful skin and overall complexion. No matter how professionally beautiful eyelid makeup is applied, eyelashes are curled, but if the complexion is pale, there are defects or wrinkles, the bright diamonds of the eyes will be invisible.

The problem of skin care around the eyes is one of the leading topics for both cosmetics manufacturers and cosmetologists. There are a number of perfumes and cosmetics for eye care. Many face creams have warnings that this product should not be applied to the eyelids and skin under the eyes, as they require separate products and care rules.

That is why we have something to talk about. Let's talk about what means to use for those who have thin skin around the eyes, what to do with it, we will consider further.

1. Features of the structure of the skin of the eyelids

The structure of human tissues, even within the same organ or surface area, can vary significantly. There are muscular organs and having a lining of various epithelial tissues in layers. There are zones of transition from one type of epithelium to another within a given lining of an organ, for example, in the structure of the external genital organs of women and Bladder, respiratory tract. Moreover, it is noticed that it is in the transition zones, when moving from a fabric that is more durable in structure to a less one, and problems arise.

The skin of the human face is no exception. The facial part of the skull has the least durable bone structure, the skin and its layers have a number of features. Here the largest amount of collagen and elastin, the thinnest layer of subcutaneous fat, the thinnest and densest mesh blood vessels, characteristic location lymphatic vessels. The skin of the eyelids is completely devoid of subcutaneous fat. The epidermis itself is very thin, respectively, and there will be less collagen and elastic fibers. Since there is no fatty protection, any stagnation of the lymph will manifest itself as edema. Not to mention that even in ancient Eastern medicine, when describing the methods of acupuncture, it was indicated that it was the face that was equipped with the largest number of nerve points and endings.

Another feature of the skin is the attachment of facial muscles to it, which affect the appearance of well-known facial wrinkles. On the upper eyelid largest concentration of nerve endings. This is a defensive reaction so that blinking is performed and the eye is not damaged. The human face is a mirror of all internal organs, this is what Eastern Chinese medicine tells us. Therefore, many problems of the skin of the face should also be considered through the prism of internal diseases ...

Probably mother - nature knowingly took care of this. You see yourself every day, and you will definitely not miss the signals of the body. Eyelids are also proof of this. With heart problems, we see swelling on the thin skin under the eyes in the evening. If edema meets us in the morning, then the problem is in the kidneys, their functions. Dry and yellowish skin of the lower eyelid and the entire face indicates problems of the liver and biliary tract. Dark and bluish, or even blooming hematoma skin, indicates problems with intracranial pressure and general overwork, worries and stress, headaches caused by high blood pressure. Facial skin is a huge storehouse of information about the body.

2. Very thin skin around the eyes

Most likely this is your individual anatomical feature. If you paid attention, then in general, in any area, even with minor injuries, in particular bruises, you get bruises. Women often have vascular networks on their legs. The skin is easily injured. Then your eyes are no exception. A little bit of bad weather, eyelids easily redden and swell. You were worried and did not sleep well - guaranteed circles under the eyes. Allergy problems and the related selection of cosmetics are relevant to you.

3. Environmental factors and eyelid skin

Now there is a lot of talk about healthy eating, rational work day, bad habits - after all, all this, first of all, will be reflected in our “mirror of the soul”.

Cold wind in autumn, very dry summer, frost, smoking and fatty foods will immediately hit the skin of the lower eyelids and lead to their premature aging.

It must be remembered that this is one of the most delicate parts of our body, the most exposed to the environment. Therefore, further we will talk about methods for protecting and caring for the skin of the eyelids.

4. Cosmetic products for the care and treatment of the skin of the upper and lower eyelids of the eyes

Recently, in my articles, I considered the rules for the selection of cosmetics, in particular creams. And remember, the first postulate is age. Yes, here is the brightest moment - it is worth starting to care for the skin around the eyes from the age of 15. But there are features of the selection of creams and techniques for their application.

Rules for the selection of creams for the skin around the eyes:

For the age of 15-20 years, creams should be light in texture and contain herbal and fruit extracts, most often we are talking about chamomile, yarrow, calendula, aloe juice extract, peach and almond extract, parsley root. Creams containing oils should be used very carefully, as they make the skin heavier and contribute to the appearance of wrinkles. The most secure olive oil. An important component indicated on the cream, should be UV filters. At this age, we eliminate the harmful effects of sunlight and for now just maintain water balance.

For the age of 25-30 years, creams with violet, roseola, rose and containing the largest amount of water-retaining natural ingredients, creams with maximum moisture are suitable. These are usually fruit juices (grape and lingonberry) and light essential oils - jasmine, jojoba, rose. Also for thin and dry skin, we are starting to take care of nutrition - plant components of oats, cornflower flowers are vivid examples of optimal nutritional care. It is better if a consultant in a pharmacy or a cosmetologist helps you with the selection of a cream. Why? Unfortunately, it is by the age of thirty that we acquire a bouquet of diseases of internal organs. Here we will immediately remember about nutrition and daily routine.

Age 35 - 45 years and older is characterized by skin aging. This means that the components of the cream should also contain moisturizing nutrients(vitamins, proteins, coenzymes, collagen). Pearl extracts, silk proteins, honey and royal jelly, coenzyme Q10 are important components of such creams. Of the herbs, the most suitable would be lungwort, rose, mother - and - stepmother. Mandatory content of UV - filters, components of deep moisturizing, lifting effect.

Very thin skin around the eyes has its own rules of care:

Daily removal of decorative cosmetics and mascara with special products - cosmetic milk and marcellan water from leading manufacturers, better purchased in pharmacies or special medical cosmetics stores

Makeup products should be hypoallergenic and applied with point light tangential movements (bases for shadows and the shadows themselves, corrective mousses. It is mousses that have a light texture and do not weigh down or tighten the skin)

Nightly ice packs (herbal based) and eye masks that provide nutrition in dry windy or frosty weather, and moisturizing with fruit extracts. Of course, it's best if you make them yourself. The simplest are cucumber and strawberry masks, from slices. Potato and egg masks - mix boiled soft potatoes with egg yolk, apply on cotton pads and apply to the eyelids for 15-20 minutes. This mixture has a good nutritional effect, you can add high-fat milk or kefir;

Massage the eyelids with light circular movements after applying the cream. Spot tonic - in the morning;

Gymnastics for the eyes, if you work at a computer and rational rest;

Very useful, we women will have at home in the bathroom, a sheet with printed lines of the correct stretching of the skin during massage and applying cream.

This will allow us to preserve our youth for many years. Massage as a means of treatment is described in Chinese medicine and Indian culture. The main rule of massage is to listen to your body and know the points and massage them correctly. This information can be gleaned from books on ancient Eastern culture and meditation.

Cream for thin skin around the eyes

Each well-known brand of facial skin cosmetics has a certain age-specific line of eyelid care creams. We will not dwell on them, I will only say that these funds, as a rule, are not cheap. Therefore, I think it’s not superfluous to offer recipes for making eyelid skin products at home:

1. Compresses for the eyelids with their swelling and general eye fatigue

It is necessary to take sage herb (4 tablespoons) and pour hot water(200 ml). To prepare an infusion, herbs are not poured with boiling water, it is detrimental to nutrients! Next, you should put the infusion in a water bath for 15 minutes. Then strain through a four-fold gauze or bandage. Divide the remedy into two equal parts. Place one in the refrigerator, and heat the other to a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius. Wetting alternately cotton pads, alternate compresses every 20 seconds for 3 minutes.

2. Nourishing cream with avocado oil

As we wrote earlier in the article about homemade cream recipes, we will take NIVEA moisturizing cream 25 ml as a basis, add 1 tsp there essential oil avocado and 1 ml of vitamin A and vitamin E. Apply it in the evening with light massaging movements, remove the remnants with a napkin after 20 minutes.

3. Cream with jojoba oil for thin skin of the eyelids

It is necessary to take 1 ml of jojoba oil and melt if necessary (may have a waxy form). Next, take 1 ml of rose oil and 0.5 ml castor oil. It is also worth adding 9 ml of infusion of cornflower flowers (2 tbsp. Cornflower flowers pour 200 ml hot water. Infuse for at least 4 hours, covered with a lid). It will be very useful to add 2-3 drops of ylang-ylang oil and vitamin E. As an emulsifier, you can use professional products - Olive-emuls, then the cream will be stored for a long time, or usually milk can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 days. These substances need only 1 ml. We mix the ingredients in a clean bowl (for example, a coffee cup). Apply to cleansed skin every evening for 15-20 minutes. The remains are removed by blotting movements with a paper single-layer napkin.

The recipes are given without taking into account your allergic history, therefore, before use, test the cream on the inner surface of the elbow bend for 15-20 minutes.

And if there is no redness and itching, you can then apply it to the skin of the eyelids. If after the test and application, you feel itching and burning on the eyelids, swelling appears, then wash off the cream with warm soapy water and consult a doctor. Can you take a pill antihistamine drug.

Caring for the skin of the eyes requires a lot of effort, attention and investment. But she will be more and more disciplined in terms of nutrition and physical activity, will remind you of caring for the inner spiritual world. And, thus, will give you the joy of a blooming face and longevity.

Since childhood, I have thin skin under my eyes, and they always look tired. Plus, there are constant bruises. At a young age, this problem did not bother me too much, since it was not so noticeable.

Cosmetics

You can use mesotherapy, hyaluronic acid or laser facial rejuvenation. I used the second method.

Laser rejuvenation- a fairly effective procedure that helps to eliminate bruises under the eyes in one session. Another advantage of the procedure is that it is painless. A special cream is applied under the eyes, thanks to which the pain is almost imperceptible. The skin under the eyes is smoothed, becomes elastic, bruises disappear. I do this procedure regularly on the recommendation of a specialist.

After the procedure, it is advisable to purchase a cream with hyaluronic acid.

Important! Before you go to a beauty salon for laser rejuvenation, consult with a specialist in this field.

Askorutin- an excellent remedy for very thin skin under the eyes. It can be bought at a pharmacy.

Also a good option is to use venotonic. It acts instantly, perfectly normalizes the work of blood vessels. The composition includes unique components that smooth and strengthen the skin under the eyes. (just keep in mind that many venotonics dry the skin - ed.)

Powder with concealer- too a good option to make your eyes look vibrant and fresh. I chose the perfect option for myself - powder from Mary Kay. If you do not use powder, then you can use a dense foundation, which are sold in jars (for example, MaxFactor,).

Folk remedies

Every morning I do for my eyes" cold and hot shower ". First cold, then warm water.

In the evening - compress from, sage, parsley and sour cream, which strengthen the thin skin under the eyes. Preparing compresses is easy, you just need a little effort and time.

Now…

In the morning - a contrast shower, in the evening - compresses and masks, as well as using powder, visiting a beauty salon ... and my skin under my eyes - although thin, but elastic and without bruises.
